Rotary Wing Aircraft Prototype with Gimbal Mount and Coaxial Motor

BACKGROUND Coaxial motor-powered designs need not be restricted to variable pitch rotors. The cyclic/collective pitch mixing system commonly employee three independent actuators to control the swashplate which can be an improvement on the separate systems found in large aircraft. However, variable pitch flight control systems create mechanical complexity...
