Features of Movement of a Rotational Body

Vertical motion of a rotational body in an air environment as a mechanical model of a rotochute is considered. It is assumed that, in the process of motion, the symmetry axis of the rotational body remains vertical and the rotational body itself rotates relative to this axis. The aerodynamic impact model is based on a quasistatic approach. Steady regimes of motion are identified, their stability is analyzed, and certain features of transition regimes are explored, including those related to the exchange between the energy of rotational motion and the energy of translational motion.
