  • Bladesense – a novel approach for measuring dynamic helicopter rotor blade deformation 
    Weber, Simone; Southgate, Dominic; Mullaney, Kevin; James, Stephen; Rutherford, Robert; Sharma, Anuj; Lone, Mudassir; Kissinger, Thomas; Chehura, Edmond; Staines, Stephen; Pekmezci, Huseyin; Fragonara, Luca Zanotti; Petrunin, Ivan; Williams, Dan; Moulitsas, Irene; Cooke, Alastair; Rosales, Waldo; Tatam, Ralph P.; Morrish, Peter; Fairhurst, Mark; Atack, Richard; Bailey, Gordon; Morley, Stuart (European Rotorcraft Forum, 2018-12-31)
    Technologies that allow accurate measurement of rotorblade dynamics can impact almost all areas of the rotorcraft sector; ranging from maintenance all the way to blade design. The BladeSense project initiated in 2016 aims ...
  • Effect of rotor tilt on the gust rejection properties of multirotor aircraft 
    Whidborne, James F.; Mendez, Arthur P.; Cooke, Alastair (MDPI, 2022-10-18)
    In order to operate safely in windy and gusty conditions, multirotor VTOL aircraft require gust resilience. This paper shows that their gust rejection properties can be improved by applying a small amount of fixed outward ...
  • Regressor time-shifting to identify longitudinal stability and control derivatives of the Jetstream 3102 
    Yusuf, Sezsy; Lone, Mudassir; Cooke, Alastair; Lawson, Nicholas J. (Elsevier, 2017-06-20)
    The Jetstream 31 G-NFLA aircraft is used as a national flying laboratory test vehicle for flight dynamics research and teaching purposes. It has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental modelling and therefore, ...
  • Simulated pilot-in-the-loop testing of handling qualities of the flexible wing aircraft 
    Portapas, Vilius; Cooke, Alastair (Taylor and Francis, 2020-02-09)
    This article aims to indicate the differences between rigid and flexible wing aircraft flying (FQ) and handling (HQ) qualities. The Simulation Framework for Flexible Aircraft was used to provide a generic ...
  • Technical note: recent experiences of helicopter main rotor blade damage 
    Weber, Simone; Lone, Mudassir M.; Cooke, Alastair (Vertical Flight Society, 2019-08-01)
    Results of a survey investigating commonly occurring minor rotor blade damage incidents are presented in this paper. Over 100 participants worldwide ranging from test pilots to commercial pilots and licensed engineers ...
