Abstract

AbstractA full autopilot system was designed for a small electrical helicopter. It contains two Web cameras as sensors that are connected to the standard PC through USB port. A model of aerodynamic forces and moments was written in the complex form. The system parameters were identified by results of flight tests. An onboard sensor with three micromechanical gyroscopes and three accelerometers was istalled on the helicopter. It produces essentially new information about rotation velocity. The autopilot system was studied in detail and finally, the helicopter was stabilized in a three dimensional point.
