Abstract :
In this paper we describe a method for angular pitch control with feedback linearization for a laboratory helicopter model. Linear angular control can only be applied in a small angle interval. Better control can be obtained by using a linearizing transformation. This transformation tends to be very complex. For the application in this paper it can be shown that a simplified transformation can be sufficient for achieving good control results
