Fuzzy flight control system for helicopter intelligence in hover

This paper relates to a fuzzy flight control system in spot hovering for a single-rotor helicopter PZL Kania. The model of the fuzzy control system was developed on the basis of computer simulation experiments done by the expert´s analysis (pilot´s knowledge). The helicopter´s mathematical model and its fuzzy flight control system were simulated using Matlab software package. In a series of numerous computer simulations the operation of the fuzzy control system was investigated and the system itself was tuned up. Simulation tests have been performed for the helicopter both in fixed hovering, and in hovering with disturbances. Disturbances were related to a gust of wind or to an accidental motion of one of the rudders. Obtained results give the good promise for building the Web simulator.
