A Model Based Technique for Flight Director Design: Helicopter Hovering Flight.

Abstract

A computer-aided optimal pilot modeling procedure was utilized to develop flight director laws for implementation in the longitudinal mode of a 'head-down' cockpit display for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft. These flight director laws were intended to enhance the instrument hover and landing capabilities of the Bell UH-1H helicopter equipped with a multi-function stroke-written cathode ray tube display.
