Abstract :
This paper presents the results of a study into the use of H∞ - optimization for the design of robust feedback control laws for improving the handling qualities of a battlefield helicopter. Control laws are designed for precise control of pitch and roll attitude, yaw rate and heave velocity in in the hover flight condition.
