The performance of the propeller propulsion system depends on the rotor thrust control performance. Therefore, accurate thrust control is important for high-accuracy control of the airframe. Until now, various thrust control methods have been proposed. In the proposal of a thrust controller that is regarded as a constant thrust coefficient or a function of the advance ratio, a steady-state deviation occurs in the thrust response when the airspeed fluctuates. Therefore, we propose a gain-scheduled rotor thrust controller that uses the thrust coefficient as a two-variable function of airspeed and angular velocity. The conventional method and the proposed method were verified by simulation and experiment.
