Abstract :
This paper presents guidelines for developing a multivariable centralized automatic flight control system (AFCS) for a twin lift helicopter system (TLHS). Singular value ideas are used to formulate performarce and stability robustness specifications. A Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) design is obtained and evaluated.
