Abstract

In this paper, general control approaches are evaluated for helicopter system. Control of a helicopter is its ability to respond to control inputs and achieve the desired condition of flight. There is an important contradiction between stability and controllability, since decent controllability does not necessarily exist with decent stability. In fact, a high degree of stability may tend to reduce the controllability of the aircraft.
