Abstract :
A trajectory tracking control scheme for the main rotor speed in an electrically powered helicopter prototype is presented. The scheme is based on the concept of differentially flat systems which makes use of a rotor model obtained with the help of an appropriate design and implementation of sensors and actuators. Experimental results are presented where the performance of the control scheme is evaluated
