Abstract
McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems' (MDHS) Canard rotor/wing (CRW) concept performs as a rotary-wing aircraft for take-off and hover, and as a fixed-wing aircraft for high speed cruise. It combines advantages of a helicopter with cruise efficiency approaching that of an airplane. A key technology involved in achieving this combination is the highly integrated flight and propulsion controls associated with interaction of rotor dynamics, aerodynamics, engine performance, and flight path kinematics. This paper describes the dynamic interactions associated with achieving transition flight from the helicopter mode to the fixed-wing mode. Also described is an integrated navigation, guidance and control system design, including a low-cost sensor and processing architecture which provides capability for autonomous Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) operation.<>
