  • In this paper, the helicopter flight control system using online adaptive neural networks which have the universal function approximation property is considered. It is not compensation for modeling errors but approximation two functions required for feedback linearization control action from input/output of the system. To guarantee the tracking performance and the stability of the closed loop system replaced two nonlinear functions by two neural networks, weight update laws are provided by Lyapunov function and the simulation results in low speed flight mode verified the performance of the control system with the neural networks.

  • It is necessary to develop digital flight control system by digital control technology to ensure stability and maneuverability of rotary helicopter. It is important to meet functional requirements of helicopter flight control system OFP and verify system reliability directly linked to flight safety as a core technology that avoids the transfer of technology by overseas advanced helicopter manufacturer. In this paper, we studied how to perform FMET for operational flight program of rotary automatic flight control system.

  • To improve the performance of inner loop based on PD controller for a unmanned helicopter, neural networks are applied. The performance of PD controller designed on the response characteristics of error dynamics decreases because of uncertain nonlinearities of the system. The nonlinearities are decoupled to modified dynamic inversion model(MDIM) and are compensated by the neural networks. For the training of the neural networks, online weight adaptation laws which are derived from Lyapunov's direct method are used to guarantee the stability of the controller. The results of the improved performance of PD controller by neural networks are illustrated in the simulation of unmanned helicopter with nonlinearities,

  • The Helicopter noise analysis code was developed using Farassat's Formular 1A based on Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation and Lowson's Formula which contains single loading noise source concept. HART-II(Higher harmonic control Aeroacoustic Rotor Test), STAR(Smart-Twisting Active Rotor) and Active-tab Rotor were computed and analyzed by using developed noise code. The results of these rotor noise prediction are explained and its applicability would be mentioned in this paper.

  • This paper deals with the control of a nonlinear experimental helicopter system by using the fuzzy-model-based control approach. The fuzzy model of the experimental helicopter system is constructed from the original nonlinear dynamic equations in the form of an affine Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system. In order to design a feasible switching-type fuzzy-model-based controller, the TS fuzzy system is converted to a set of uncertain linear systems, which is used as a basic framework to synthesize the fuzzy-model-based controller.

  • The control law design and analysis environment of the FBW helicopter system have been developed using model base design method. The model based design is generally used in a aircraft, unmanned aerial system and automobile as well as rotorcraft development. The model based design provides many advantages such as development risk and schedule reduction using simulation and autocode generation. This paper describes a development of process for verification and validation of auto generated code for FBW helicopter flight control law. And this process is applied for Fly-By-Wire Helicopter Development Project. The results of functional test for auto generated code meet several specific requirements.

  • This paper deals with the nonlinear optimal control approach to helicopter maneuver problems using the indirect method. We apply a penalty function to the deviation from a prescribed trajectory to convert the system optimality to an unconstrained optimal control problem. The resultant two-point boundary value problem has been solved by using the multiple-shooting method. This paper focuses on the effect of the number of shooting nodes and initialization methods on the numerical solution in order to define the minimum number of shooting nodes required for numerical convergence and to provide a method increasing convergence radius of the indirect method. The results of this study can provide an approach to improve numerical stability and convergence of the indirect method when we solve the optimal control problems of an inherently unstable helicopter system.

  • This paper describes a procedure to design a hovering flight controller for a model helicopter using LQG theory. Parameters of the model helicopter in hover are obtained using direct measurements and calculations proposed by other research. A feedback co is by using digital LQG theory. First, a full state feedback controller is designed to the discretized system taking desirable transient response and other assumptions into account. Then a full-state estimator is designed and revised until desirable response is obtained while global stability is maintained. Performance of the controller is tested by computer simulations. Experiments have been performed using a 3-degree-of-freedom gimbal that holds the model helicopter, and the controller exhibited stable hover capability.

  • Recently, KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has been developing a modern 11.5m diameter four bladed bearingless main rotor system, and this rotor system can be used for 7,000lb class helicopter. Flexbeam and torque tube can be considered as the key structural components, and large elastic twist of flexbeam induced by pitch control motion of torque tube can influence the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic analysis results of bearingless rotor system were presented. In order to construct a input model and validate the analysis procedures, calculated results using the comprehensive helicopter analysis program CAMRAD II were compared with the measured natural frequencies and lag damping data from small-scale wind tunnel test. Next, the analysis model was extended to a full-scale model, and the dynamic analysis results were presented.
