PAGE 12 A fast-spinning rotor creates the desired thrust and lift for a helicopter – audible even for the hard of hearing. With a new kind of rotor control, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) proves that a helicopter can soar through the skies with far less noise and vibrations. A multiple-swashplate system for helicopters actively reduces noise and vibrations Agile Blades CUSTOMERS dSPACE Magazine 1/2016 · © dSPACE GmbH, Paderborn, Germany · info@dspace.com · www.dspace.comAgile Blades F noise emissions and the power con- sumption of the rotor can be positi- vely infl uenced by this method. Con- ventional (collective and cyclic) heli- copter controls cannot effectively in- fl uence the higher harmonics of the undesired aerodynamic effects, and are only used to control the fl igh
