چکیده
This paper describes the development of H∞ controllers for two helicopter models. The study was first carried out using rigid body state feedback only and was then extended to include the rotor flap and lag states. It was observed that the H∞ controllers gave better robustness and performance than the baseline controllers. Moreover, using rotor state feedback, it was possible to design high bandwidth controllers.

متن کاملDesign and implementation of an autonomous flight control law for a UAV helicopter
In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an autonomous flight control law for a smallscale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopter. The approach is decentralized in nature by incorporating a newly developed nonlinear control technique, namely the composite nonlinear feedback control, together with dynamic inversion. The overall control law consists of three hierarchical layer...
متن کاملA Robust Non-linear Design for Autopilot Control Law Using Dynamic Inversion and H-infinity Loop-shaping
Abstract. This paper presents a robust control law design for a commercial aircraft pitch autopilot dedicated to perform the approach maneuver. The design involves only the longitudinal axis. Traditionally, in the aerospace industry, the design of autopilot functions follows a process that involves the partitioning of the flight operational envelope into separate flight conditions, the design o...
متن کاملH-Infinity Static Output-feedback Control for Rotorcraft
The problem of stabilization of an autonomous rotorcraft platform in a hover configuration subject to external disturbances is addressed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for static output-feedback control of linear timeinvariant systems using the H-Infinity approach. Simplified conditions are given which only require the solution of two coupled matrix design equations. This pa...
