Model-following control of a helicopter in hover

摘要

Tracking with model-following behavior for a Bell 205 helicopteris investigated using linear-quadratic optimal control. The objective ofthe design is to produce the desired performance in simulation for anominal plant model of the Bell 205 in hovering flight. Twofundamentally different types of model-following control designs,explicit and implicit, are studied and discussed in this paper. The twodesigns result in controllers of different structures. The primaryobjective of the paper is to compare the merits of the resultingclosed-loop systems
