Abstract
Autogyro is the first successful type of rotating-wing aircraft, which has been deeply studied in aerodynamics, flight mechanics and overall design. With the advantages of low cost, low complexity and short take-off and landing ability, unmanned autogyros have attracted much attention. This paper proposes a control scheme for an unmanned autogyro based on active disturbance rejection control theory. The proposed control scheme is constructed with extended state observer, tracking differentiator and nonlinear state feedback controller. The tracking differentiator is used to schedule the transition process and the extended state observer is used to estimate and compensate multiple uncertainties and disturbance. The design process is given in detail and the cascade controllers are presented. Simulations are conducted with different cases to evaluate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme.
