Summary

This paper deals with the instability of a hovering helicopter with controls fixed The generalized simple stabilization system, which is composed of rods, springs, dampers and masses and uses the rotor shaft to generate gyroscopic forces, has been analysed Special cases of a Second Order System have been considered and show that good stability can be achieved, thus overcoming the limitations of First Order Systems
