Abstract

This paper presents a design of automatic flight control system for VTOL research aircraft supported by four ducted fans. Two remotely piloted research models, an electric motor model and an engine model, are developed for the purpose of detailed investigation of ducted fan type VTOL aircrafts. Especially the development of the automatic flight control system is one of the main purposes of this research. Automatic flight control systems which aid remote piloting are designed to control the attitude and altitude of these models. Many kinds of control tests on the test stands were performed to examine the control systems. As the result of a lot of flight tests, fairly well automatic stabilization of attitude and altitude of the research models was achieved in hovering and low speed flight condition.
