... By taking into consideration formerly specified suggestions, control-oriented and physics-based rotorcraft models and a stochastic optimization methodology are implemented to minimize the control effort of the RFCS. Findings By applying a combined stochastic design strategy for rotorcraft with the STA...

...Metin Uzun Purpose This research study aims to minimize autonomous flight cost and maximize autonomous flight performance of a slung load carrying rotary wing mini unmanned aerial vehicle (i.e. UAV) by stochastically optimizing autonomous flight control system (AFCS) parameters. For minimizing...

... and a stochastic optimization method are applied to minimize controller cost of the HFCS. Findings Using simultaneous design approach for helicopters having blade tip swept and blade tip anhedral causes considerably less control effort than the helicopters not benefiting this related design approach...
