Abstract

In this chapter, the modeling and control system design of unmanned helicopters are introduced. Two types of unmanned helicopters exist today – a single-rotor helicopter and a coaxial-rotor helicopter. In general, small helicopters with weights from 1 to 50 kg use the single-rotor mechanism, while miniature helicopters with weights less than 500 g use the coaxial-rotor mechanism. In this chapter, small and miniature unmanned helicopters are discussed. First, their mathematical models are obtained as a transfer function or state space equation. Subsequently, the optimal control design for the control method for both small and miniature unmanned helicopters is introduced.
