Abstract
We present in this paper the actual implementation results of flight formation of multiple unmanned helicopters. More specifically, we consider a leader-follower formation flight behavior with two scenarios: 1) the flight formation test with the leader being a manned helicopter following a zigzag-like trajectory, and 2) the flight test with the leader being an unmanned system following circle and raceway paths. Experimental results show that our design is very successful.
