Hover control via Lyapunov control for an autonomous model helicopter

Abstract
A dynamic model based on physical insight is proposed for a reduced scale autonomous helicopter. There are several important differences between a system of this nature and that of a full sized helicopter model. By approximating the model obtained by one in which the small body forces associated with the torque control are ignored a block pure feedback form is obtained and a Lyapunov control design using backstepping techniques is proposed. An analysis of the proposed control law is presented.
