A set of coupled periodic nonlinear differential flap-lag-torsional equations of blade motion is described which can simulate a blade having a precone, twist, distributed torsion, root torsion, torque offset, blade-root offsets, and offsets among the elastic axis, the aerodynamic center, and the blade cross-sectional center of mass. It is noted that the aerodynamic loads derived for these equations are applicable to cases of both hover and forward flight. The aeroelastic stability of a hingeless helicopter blade is investigated by linearizing the nonlinear differential equations of motion about a time-dependent equilibrium position of the helicopter in forward flight, using propulsion and moment trim procedures. A comparison of the results with those obtained previously for coupled flap-lag-torsional boundaries in hover indicates that aeroelastic-stability margins are degraded due to forward flight.
