In this study the stability boundaries of a hingeless helicopter blade are studied using a system of coupled flap-lag-pitch equations of motion. Divergence and flutter boundaries for the linearized system of equations are presented. Flap-lag, flap-pitch and coupled flap-lag-pitch instabilities in hovering flight are studied. The effect of the torsional degree of freedom on the flap-lag type of instability is investigated. Similarly the effect of lag on the flap pitch type of instability is also considered. Results illustrating these effects, together with the effect of various important blade parameters on blade stability are presented.
