EPISODE 10 - The Rotorschmiede #VA115 Is the Smallest #CoaxialRotor Helicopter in the World. S1|E10 - Overview
The Rotorschmiede VA115 is the smallest helicopter in the world without a tail rotor. This is done by having a coaxial rotor system, which I explain in a little more detail in the video. This type of rotor system also has some advantages and disadvantages that I also touch on in the video. This also might be one the smallest fully assembled helicopters on the market. It is an ultralight and does not come in a kit, which is fairly rare. If you want to know more info on this awesome helicopter, check out Rotorschmiedes website below!

You mentioned autorotations in this coaxial helicopter. I'm wondering how yaw control works on this bird while in an autorotation? Under power, torque is being applied to both rotor masts. All you have to do to induce a yaw motion is unbalance the torque load between the two rotor systems and the fuselage will yaw in a direction opposite the rotor mast with the greater load. In a true engine out autorotation, there's no torque going to either rotor mast and thus, no torque reaction with which to induce a yaw command. Just posing the question out of curiosity.

@RelativeMotionCC 3 жыл бұрын

Great question Steve! You raise a very good point and even had to do some research to find the answer, and learned something new so thanks! In a coax rotor when the engine is running, yaw is controlled by actually creating a difference in collective input to each of the separate rotors. So even though there is still obviously one collective, this difference in collective input is then controlled by the rudder pedals (best I know). This dance of difference in collective input to each of the two rotors is what gives an imbalance in torque between the rotors and thus your yaw control. ... but lose your engine and your are correct, no more torque input... thus no yaw control, something I had never realized! So maybe not so great for auto rotations after all 🤦‍♂️😂 There is some ability to maintain control however in a similar way if you lost your tail rotor in a conventional helicopter. More forward air speed will keep you straight by the air pushing the helicopter straight into the airflow. This is also why a lot of these helicopter have large vertical stabs (like this one having two) in the back, and even some of the large Russian ones I've seen with actual rudders to control this even more. I always thought these where just for extra yaw authority in the air, never realized they are also (and maybe its main purpose) for maintaining yaw control in autos. Thanks for the insight! Hope you like the show! -James

@Intrepid175a 3 жыл бұрын

@@RelativeMotionCC - very interesting. I was thinking the vertical stabilizers at the back were mainly there to help stabilize things in cruise flight just like they do on a conventional helicopter. I'm not sure how effective they'd be at the bottom of an autorotation as you're going to be at pretty low airspeeds by the time you get to the ground so I'm not sure how effective they'd be but I'm sure they'd be better than nothing. I knew that the "rudder" pedals were inducing differential collective to control yaw. That much makes sense. I've been thinking about this and am wondering if this might be true. When you step on the rudder pedals, you're increasing collective on one rotor while decreasing it on the other. I imagine these are very small movements, maybe only fractions of a degree in most cases. Still, it seems to me that would change the drag profile between the two rotors and induce a yaw movement as a result. You're not going to be doing pirouettes this way but it may be enough to keep the nose pointed in the direction of travel over the ground at touchdown. At any rate, I've love to see a coaxial helicopter do an autorotation. What do you think?

@electricaviationchannelvid7863 3 жыл бұрын

@@RelativeMotionCC The section about “torque input “ is not correct…The 2 discs shafts get the same torque from the engine just turning opposite direction…there is no torque device in the transmission…both shafts gets the same rpm as well…I think. The mixer mechanically links the pilot controls with which you manipulate the AOA of the blades and this changes the forces on the 2 rotor discs separately (rudder-yaw) and/or at the same time (collective-updown, stick-pitch&bank) For autorotation rotor speed comes from “gliding”, the AOA and drag difference between the 2 discs to control yaw is still possible… To maintain gliding you need speed…The last phase when cushioning for impact we exchange extra inertia of blades thus energie into more AOA/lift to decrease sink rate and speed…

@electricaviationchannelvid7863 3 жыл бұрын

With what device would you "unbalance the torque load" from the engine??? It is easy to say it but to build it... mechanically you get a heavy complex transmission part...remember coaxial helicopters (Kamov) were successfully developed and deployed in the 1960s... So unbalancing must come from changing blade aerodynamics forces...in my logic...

@Intrepid175a 3 жыл бұрын

@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 - I understand what you mean about the "torque input" comment. Probably not the proper way to put it. The engine is applying torque to spin both rotor systems but that doesn't mean the both rotor systems are absorbing the same amount of torque. If one rotor is carrying more collective than the other, then the one with the higher load with have the greater torque reaction and that's the way the fuselage will yaw. How they do this mechanically between the "rudder" peddles and the individual rotor systems is still magic to me. I've never had the opportunity to examine one up close. That's kind of why coaxial helicopters fascinate me so much, and it's why I've posed the questions I have here. I'm just trying to understand. I'm thinking we're probably close to being on the same page with regards to changing blade aerodynamic forces to control all this.

@stufields5125 2 жыл бұрын

How do you perform dynamic rotor balance? E.g. How do you determine where to add wts on one rotor system vs the other? I've balanced single rotor machines and find it easy if it is done with the ship in a hover so that ship vibrations are isolated from the ground and subsequent ground effects.

@RelativeMotionCC 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve never balanced a coaxial myself either… but I would imagine it’s similar, you just might need a special kind of vib. machine to track each rotor independently… rotor balance sure is complex so I hope to do a video more someday going more into this. Great question though!

@stufields5125 2 жыл бұрын

@@RelativeMotionCC I think that there must be some way to isolate the vibration caused by one rotor system from that caused by the other. I tried a test with a DynaVibe by putting an known out of balance wheel on my Bridgeport mill. The results were all over the place. It seems the vibration caused by my test wheel would cause sympathetic vibrations in the machine and the balance indications would be erroneous. We repeated this test with a motor and wheel mounted on my heavy test bench. Same results. However, when testing on a hovering helicopter it worked like a charm. Is there a way to hover a coaxial ship with just one rotor? That would isolate out of balance vibrations to just the one rotor at a time.????

@RelativeMotionCC 2 жыл бұрын

I would think the DynoVibe, microvibe, or whatever vibe machine it is, it needs specific software or a program for co axial because it’s going to have a much different vibration pattern than a normal rotor… so if you don’t have a that proper program I don’t think it would work. And no unfortunately I can’t imagine you could ever run a co axial with only one rotor head

@Ben-Dixey 2 жыл бұрын

@@RelativeMotionCC would be good to see a dynamic balancing video for a coaxial. I built a coaxial and balanced the rotors statically span-wise and chord-wise. They ran very smooth and no adjustments were necessary other than tracking. If I had vibration issues I wouldn't know where to start.
