Research in helicopter UAV control is inherently based on testing flight performance in the field. This paper extends preliminary flight test results previously published by the authors and provides a more thorough experimental validation of the helicopter's motion control. A new input model, which includes velocity dependence in the main rotor thrust, is incorporated in the control. Experimental results for translational position control are presented using a number of reference trajectories.
