This paper presents a generic trim problem formulation, in the form of a constrained optimization problem, which employs forces and moments due to the aircraft control surfaces as decision variables. The geometry of the Attainable Moment Set (AMS), i.e. the set of all control forces and moments attainable …

The potential benefits of using redundant controls on a compound helicopter for manoeuvre load alleviation whilst optimizing handling qualities are investigated. The research is focused on forward flight lateral (roll) manoeuvres and hub loads. The main control effectors of interest are the ailerons …
