Identification Modeling and Characteristics of Miniature Rotorcraft introduces an approach to
developing a simple and effective linear parameterized model of vehicle dynamics using the …

In this thesis, I present an experimentally proven control methodology for the autonomous
execution of aerobatic maneuvers with small-scale helicopters, and a low-order dynamic …

A literature review of flight control technology is presented for large‐scale helicopter.
Challenges of large‐scale helicopter flight control system (FCS) design are illustrated …

Abstract The DLR project ALLFlight (Assisted Low-Level Flight and Landing on Unprepared
Landing Sites) deals with the development of a helicopter pilot assistance system, to provide …

Flight test data from a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter hovering in the atmospheric turbulence
downwind of a large cube-shaped hanger on a wind day were collected. An inverse …

The primary focus of this work is to design and implement a robust automatic flight control
system for a smallscale unmanned helicopter. A comprehensive nonlinear model for the …

ABSTRACT A flight control system was developed for an unmanned vehicle based on the
Kaman K-MAX helicopter. The initial design was based on an 8-DOF linear state-space …

ABSTRACT Modern control laws (MCLAWS-2) were developed to provide an attitude-
command/attitude-hold response type for the UH-60, and thereby afford improved handling …

Abstract Design margins provide additional performance capability above required basic
performance and may be specified by a system designer to compensate for uncertainties. It …

This paper presents a design optimization study, in which rotor dynamics and flight
dynamics are simultaneously taken into account to maximize the damping of a rotor lag …
