5-axis centralized hover control and considerations to stability of single-rotor helicopters with optimal state feedback

This paper describes 5-axis centralized feedback control system for a single-rotor helicopter.Optimal control theory is directly applied to 25-state Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) analytical linear model of a small-scale unmanned helicopter without decoupling the motion dynamics.The linear Kalman filter is also designed for an estimation of
