Abstract :
The eigenvector structure necessary to achieve good short term attitude command response in a generic single rotor helicopter are presented. They achieve appropriate mode decoupling and are consistent with the physical relationships between the state variables. These eigenvectors translate exactly into ideal transfer functions for use with a variety of control design methodologies.
