Abstract
In Chap. 9, we present a fairly comprehensive evaluation of the overall flight control system designed in Chaps. 7 and 8 through hardware-in-the-loop simulations and actual flight tests. We aim to evaluate its performance and robustness by a careful selection of mission-task-elements (MTEs) adopted from ADS-33D-PRF, which is set for military rotorcraft by US army aviation. The selected mission-task-elements for test include depart/abort (forward flight), hover, depart/abort (backward flight), hovering turn, vertical maneuver, lateral reposition, turn-to-target, slalom, and pirouette. The results obtained clearly indicate that our design is very successful. The unmanned rotorcraft system is capable of achieving the desired performance in accordance with the military standard under examination.
