In this paper the authors present an experimental test bed for the development and evaluation of unmanned helicopters control. Main component of the suggested test bed is a flying stand which permits all possible movements but, also, prevents helicopters' damage because of crashing. A variety of sensors mounted on the stand, monitor and feedback rotorcraft's attitude and operational states. Based on the sensory information, a fuzzy logic controller has been developed and tested on a real rotorcraft, using the developed test bed. This controller proved able to perform hovering and altitude control. Experimental results are presented for various test cases.
