This paper develops an autonomous flight control system to alleviate the heavy workload
involved in managing multiple emergencies during manned helicopter shipboard recovery …

Continued safe flight under all foreseeable scenarios will be crucial to assure airworthiness
and build trust in future vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) urban air mobility (UAM) …

This paper synthesizes a continuous, multivariable, finite-time-convergent, super-twisting
attitude and rate controller for rotorcraft with the objective of providing desired handling …

The paper discusses the synthesis of linear and nonlinear observers to estimate rotor states
from fuselage state measurements alone. First, the paper reviews two forms of the classical …

This thesis presents the development of a medium-scale, single-rotor rotorcraft unmanned
aerial vehicles (RUAVs) nonlinear dynamic model to be used for model-based design of …

This paper synthesizes a continuous, multivariable, finite-time-convergent, super-twisting
attitude and rate controller for rotorcraft with the objective of providing desired handling …

This paper first outlines a hardware-in-the-loop environment for helicopter flight simulations
with a real turboshaft engine. The setup uses an Allison 250-C20B engine equipped with a …
