Stability of an aerodynamic body with a rotor /

The stability of an aerodynamic body with a rotor is investigated for the following conditions: pitching and yawing of a nonrolling body with balanced rotor; pitching and yawing of a nonrolling body with unbalanced rotor; pitching and yawing of a steadily rolling body with balanced rotor. The aerodynamic body with a rotor is stable provided that the viscous damping and spring constant for the system are positive and that the ratio of the moment of inertia of the rotor about its rotational axis to the moment of inertia of the body with rotor about its pitch or yaw axis is less than approximately 0.90."... contractor for U.S. Atomic Energy Commission"--Cover."Engineering Research.""December 1957."Includes bibliographical references (p. 25).The stability of an aerodynamic body with a rotor is investigated for the following conditions: pitching and yawing of a nonrolling body with balanced rotor; pitching and yawing of a nonrolling body with unbalanced rotor; pitching and yawing of a steadily rolling body with balanced rotor.
