In this paper, we propose the intermeshing quadrotor helicopter which has feature of the tandem rotor helicopter and the intermeshing helicopter. Kinematic and aerodynamic characteristics of this helicopter have not yet been well known because such a helicopter does not exist so far. Therefore, we aim at conducting motion analysis of the helicopter. First, equation of motion of the helicopter is derived using multi-body dynamics. Next, we construct the system which enables that the helicopter fly manually. Finally, flight experiment was carried out to collect flight data needed for parameter identification of the model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
