Control of the flight altitude of a helicopter-type aircraft
Abstract
Control of the flight altitude of a helicopter-type aircraft
Incoming article date: 04.12.2025The paper considers a detailed mathematical model of a helicopter-type aircraft autopilot implemented in the Matlab/Simulink simulation environment. Computer simulation is used to examine the behaviour of the system without the application of control laws, confirming the need for correction. To compare the performance of controllers, a comparison is made between a proportional-derivative type fuzzy logic controller with linear and nonlinear control laws.
