This paper presents a detailed modelling, control system design, and numerical simulation of a rotary wing aircraft with two synchronised rotors. Following the derivation of the complete non-linear 6 DoF equations, a nested loop control architecture made of attitude stabilisation and trajectory tracking is designed after a linearisation process. Numerical simulation and performance analysis are carried out. Results concerning hovering and forward flight, relevant from the perspective of practical applications are presented and discussed. The synch-rotor configuration appears suitable and effective for application where Unmanned Aerial Systems are foreseen such as environment monitoring, aerial photogrammetry, and load transportation.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed modelling, control system design, and numerical simulation of a rotary wing aircraft with two synchronised rotors.

Numerical simulation and performance analysis are carried out. Results concerning hovering and forward flight, relevant from the perspective of practical applications are presented and discussed. The synch-rotor configuration appears suitable and effective for application where Unmanned Aerial Systems are foreseen such as environment monitoring, aerial photogrammetry, and load transportation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
