Testing-Based Approach to Determining the Divergence Speed of Slung Loads

N Komerath, N Hiremath, D Shukla - Aerospace, 2018 - mdpi.com
When a rotorcraft carries an external slung load, flight speed is often limited by the fear of
divergent oscillations, rather than vehicle performance. Since slung objects can be of any …
