**UAV Helicopter Stability Analysis**

It has been shown (Pounds, 2011) that an unloaded UAV helicopter is closed-loop stable and will have a characteristic equation given by:

\[
s^3 + \left(\frac{mgh}{I} (q_2 + kkd) + q_{1g}\right) s^2 + \frac{k \, mgh}{I} s + \frac{mgh}{I} (kki + q_1) = 0
\]

Where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the helicopter.
- \( g \) is the gravitational constant.
- \( I \) is the rotational inertia of the helicopter.
- \( h \) is the height of the rotor plane above the center of gravity.
- \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are stabilizer flapping parameters.
- \( k, \, k_i, \) and \( k_d \) are controller parameters.

All constants are greater than 0. The UAV is supposed to pick up a payload; when this occurs, the mass, height, and inertia change to \( m', \, h', \) and \( I' \), respectively, all still greater than 0. 

**Objective:**
Show that the helicopter will remain stable as long as:

\[
\frac{m'gh'}{I'} > \frac{q_1 + kki - q_{1g}k}{k(q_2 + kkd)}
\]
