Abstract

Most research on fuzzy regulators has focused on the integrating rules in intelligent control systems. This paper evaluates a fuzzy helicopter regulator for a single-rotor PZL Kania helicopter. Unlike other models which only match stable flight ability, the model presented in this paper attempts to match the links between disturbances and hover conditions. Two simulations were performed to validate the model. In the first simulation, a helicopter was evaluated in a fixed hover position. In the second simulation, model robustness was validated by introducing wind gust. Results, both with the initial and with the modified model demonstrated the viability of the proposed regulator.
