A nonlinear dynamic model of a miniature aerobatic helicopter is presented in detail. A component buildup was applied in devising the model, using simplified analytical expressions for the component forces and moments. Flight- test experiments were used to estimate several key parameters, such as the equivalent torsional stiffness in the hub. The model was used to design control logic for aerobatic maneuvers performed entirely under computer control.
