Modelling the Lama Coaxial Helicopter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Control of a helicopter is complex, and includes cross coupling of forces and balancing of forces. While sophisticated and advanced controllers can achieve stable control, good mechanical design can reduce the problems and hence make tuning the control loops easier. In this paper, we argue that a coaxial-rotor design solves a number of problems that make control of a four-rotor helicopter difficult. First, we examine several coaxial helicopters and discuss the concepts behind coaxial propulsion. Then we develop a dynamic model of the Lama coaxial helicopter. Finally, we compare this model to a model of the Dragonflyer four-rotor helicopter to show the difference in dynamics and how they impact the control.

The helicopter-borne electromagnetic (HEM) frequency-domain exploration method is an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) technique that is widely used for vast and rough areas for resistivity imaging. The vast amount of digitized data flowing from the HEM method requires an efficient and accurate inversion algorithm. Generally, the inverse modelling of HEM data in the first step requires a precise a...

متن کاملFuzzy Logic Controller for a Mini Coaxial Indoor Helicopter
In this paper the design process of a fuzzy logic based controller for a coaxial micro helicopter is presented. The developed controller for altitude, attitude, and position control is tested through simulations on an identified non-linear model of the helicopter. The robustness properties of the controller to parameter variations of the model is assessed, as well as, its ability to reject exte...
