Model Predictive Control for Helicopter Flight Control: Evaluating Linear and Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Reducing Cross-coupling Effects in Helicopter Flight

Model predictive control is an optimal, model-based control method that has the powerful capability of directly including input and output constraints. Next to this, it is known that helicopters are hard to fly with its complex, unstable and highly coupled dynamics. With the introduction of the concept of handling qualities, guidelines for...
