Abstract
Rotorcraft UAV (RUAV) has similar mechanical structure with helicopter. It can be operated in different flight modes which the fixed-wing UAV is unable to achieve, such as vertical take-off/landing, hovering, lateral flight, pirouette, and bank-to-turn. For these advantages, RUAV can be used in many fields where human intervention is considered difficult or dangerous (Napolitano et al., 1998). So it can perform the tasks such as regional surveillance, aerial mapping, communications relay, power-line inspection, aerial photography and precision load dropping, etc. RUAV has many advantages, such as small in size, low cost, simple operation and convenient transportation. Therefore, RUAV has broad application prospects, high demands, and advantages that the fixed-wing unmanned aircrafts and unmanned airship can not replace.
