Comparison of lateral dynamics of HSFV5 with inclined dampers wi th HSFV5 with separate lateral and vertical dampers (IM-HSFV-044)

In Technical Note DA 26 (Ref 1) Pollard concluded that HSFV5 was only marginally stable in the yaw mode under certain conditions of conicity and creep coefficient. This was improved by an increase in the damper rate, but it was known that the inherent problem lay with the use of...
