An approach to shock mitigative flight control using skyhook damper for the helicopter landing

Abstract

Nowadays, the helicopters can be used for various situations. For the helicopter landing, an approach to shock mitigative flight control is described. The control system is based on skyhook damper. The combination control is applied for a factor that the helicopters is underactuated robot. The disturbance observer is also applied to get rid of the disturbance by the influence of the ground effect and the wind. The validity of proposed method is verified by the experiment and simulation results.
