Abstract

The aim of the paper was to develop helicopter control algorithms. On the basis of the results it is possible to control the unmanned helicopter by a person without pilot experience. The suggested solution is based on multilevel control. It allowed to have an effect on helicopter relocation due to setting a requested trajectory. The knowledge mentioned in the literature which concerns the behavior of the helicopter is applied to the synthesis of control system .What is more, the identification of the certain helicopter model elements was made herein. The paper presents the example of the helicopter flight to a set target location. Furthermore, the example provided in the study confirms the correct control system behavior. The possibility of introducing the set location in the coordinate system, which is connected with the ground, allows to reach the set geographical location by the helicopter in an autopilot mode.
