Abstract

Compared with the fixed-wing aerial vehicles, small-scale unmanned helicopter (SUH) has the advantages of taking off and landing vertically, cruising under ultra low speed, and sustained hovering in the air. SUH has properties of nonlinear, unstable, strongly coupling, and applying control system for SUH is considered as a challenging task. This paper presents the design of the flight control system for a SUH. This flight control system consists of two parts, namely, ground station and onboard part. Various experiments have been conducted to test the performance of this flight control system, and some of the results are presented at the end.
