Programs have been written for a hybrid computer to simulate in real time the dynamic behavior of the engines, airframe, and rotor systems of the Sea King and Lynx helicopters; their purpose is to aid the study of performance and control of helicopter power plants. Since the engines are directly coupled to the lift-producing surface (the rotor), it is important to take proper account of the interactions between the powerplant and the rest of the aircraft; however, for this type of work, it is reasonable to limit simulated aircraft maneuvers to three degrees of freedom in a single vertical plane. The method of simulating the major features of the helicopter are discussed, along with their implementation on the hybrid computer. The paper goes on to describe the successful validation of the two models by comparison with specially obtained flight data on a range of rapid maneuvers involving large changes in power demands. Finally, a description is given of an exercise on the Sea King simulation to investigate the effect of an engine or control system failure at a critical flight condition.
