Abstract

This paper presents the results of an application of transformations (from nonlinear to linear systems) to the design of a helicopter autopilot. The topics covered are (1) a review of the transformation theory and its use in the design approach, (2) a description of the helicopter mathematical model, (3) the construction of the transformation from the nonlinear system to the linear system, and (4) a discussion of the system performance.
