Dynamic Compensation of a Helicopter.

Abstract

Given a fixed multivariable linear system in normal form, a design procedure by Anakwa and Pearson is applied to the dynamic compensation of a helicopter in the longitudinal mode to achieve dynamic decoupling between horizontal and vertical velocity, and collective pitch control and longitudinal cyclic pitch control, as well as a desired degree of stability, using only output feedback. Complete computer programs of the design procedure are included. Results of a computer simulation are discussed as well as the sensitivity due to variations in the helicopter parameters. These demonstrate the applicability and feasibility of the design procedures.
