Helicopter Model

Product Description

Helicopter Model Description of Helicopter Model The model simulates a helicopter with horizontal and tail rotors to give pitch and yaw control. Sensors measure the yaw and pitch angles. This gives a two-input and two output system, with cross-coupling. Students use the educational manual (supplied) to help identify plant dynamics and create a control system. The control system must keep the helicopter stable and allow for a change in the centre of gravity. When operating near the steady state, the electromechanical system can be linearized to a six-order model. The equipment includes The model helicopter on a standAn interface unitA data acquisition board for your computerA protective steel cage to put around the helicopter for safety Experiments Direct derivation of a general mathematical model of a helicopter using Lagrange equations, linearisation and simplification.On-line identification of parameters of a linear model. Direct and indirect (closed-loop response analysis) methods should be used.System decoupling techniques, diagonalisation of system transfer matrix and state space methods.Stabilisation and tracking tasks formulationState feedback design, observer design
