Greetings all,
I'm developing a UAV helicopter with a special construction that puts the centre of gravity on the plane of the rotor. This allows me to eliminate torques due to the H-force and horizontal component of the tilted thrust vector. I'd like to make it a pure teetering rotor construction, but I'm worried that if the rotor does not have any restoring torque, the aircraft will be uncontrollable.
The helicopter is a quadrotor, so I can change the attitude of the aircraft fairly easily, but am I letting myself in for a hard time doing this?
cheers,
-Paul
