Rotor Systems
R2026bModel rotor systems for rotorcraft and VTOL vehicles with integrated aerodynamics,
blade dynamics, and inflow models
Model rotor systems for rotorcraft and VTOL applications, including blade dynamics, aerodynamic forces and moments, and induced and unsteady inflow effects. Support configurable model fidelity, analytical dynamic inflow models, and single-rotor or multirotor configurations for flight-control design and real-time simulation.
Categories
- Inflow Models
Use the inflow model blocks to capture the distribution of normal induced velocity through the rotor disc
- Blade Components
Model the structural dynamics of rotor blades, providing blade states and derivatives for use with force computation blocks
- Rotor Aerodynamics
Use rotor aerodynamics blocks to model aerodynamic forces and moments generated by a single rotor or a multirotor configuration
