Now to calculate 𝛽̇ from the relation 𝛽 (𝑡̇ ) = 𝛽ℎ𝑜𝑚
̇ (t) + 𝛽 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡
̇ (t) = 𝛽ℎ𝑜𝑚
̇ (t) [as 𝛽 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡(t) is a constant term]
Writing 𝛽 (𝑡̇ ) = 𝛽0[A+B]

Question 3. Coning angle , longitudinal and lateral disc tilt angles.
Answer : Coning angle a0 = βpart(t) = 5.03 degree
Longitudinal disc tilt angle a1 = 0 degree
Lateral disc tilt angle b1 = 0 degree
Assume that the helicopter is fixed to the ground but has a body pitch rate q and roll rate p.
Question 4. Advancing blade angular velocities
Blade angular velocities: i Ω sinβ + q sinψ cosβ – p cosψ cosβ
j q cosψ + p sinψ - 𝛽̇
k Ω cosβ + p cosψ sinβ – q sinψ sinβ
Question 5. Flapping equation when the helicopter is having body rates p and q and is fixed to the ground

+ (Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛽 + 𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽 − 𝑞 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽)2
] eq. 01
[Note: neglecting the i axis contribution of blade angular velocities towards Kinetic Energy calculation]
Writing the above eq. 01 for simplicity T =

𝐼 [2𝛽̇-2(𝑞 𝑐𝑜𝑠Ω𝑡 + 𝑝 𝑠𝑖𝑛Ω𝑡)] and
𝑑
𝑑𝑡
(
𝜕𝑇
𝜕𝛽̇ ) = 𝐼[𝛽̈ + 𝑞Ω 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 − 𝑝Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓] with ψ = Ωt
Now expand the B term of eq. 01
B = [(Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛽)2
+ (𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓 − 𝑞 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 )2
𝑠𝑖𝑛2
𝛽 + 2Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛽𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛽(𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓 − 𝑞 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 )]
= [(Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛽)2

𝑠𝑖𝑛2
𝛽 + Ω 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝛽(𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓 − 𝑞 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 )]
= [(Ω 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛽)2
+ 0 + Ω 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝛽(𝑝 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜓 − 𝑞 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜓 )]
Middle term became 0 as 𝛽 is small and neglecting 𝑝2

Now evaluating the second term of Lagrange EoM

𝐼[−2Ω2

Third term of the Lagrange EoM is zero
