The ability to perform vertical take-off and landing, hovering and lateral flight provides rotorcrafts crucial advantages over other aircrafts and land vehicles for operations in remote areas. However, a major limitation of rotorcrafts is the require... Read More about Design, modelling and control of a rotorcraft landing gear for uneven ground conditions.

In this paper, a 3D mathematical model of a helicopter attached to a robotic landing gear is proposed to investigate into helicopter landing on uneven terrain. The landing gear consists of four articulated legs connected to the helicopter fuselage. E...

This paper presents an example of a PID controller applied to a 2-dimensional rotorcraft landing gear with two DOF (degrees of freedom), as well as the design of the landing gear dynamic model. The focus of this work is to maintain the landing spot t... Read More about Control of rotorcraft landing gear on different ground conditions.
