Thesis Title:

Wind Drift Mitigation for Small Rotorcraft via Optic Flow Feedback

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the affect and mitigation of wind gusts on small rotorcraft. It demonstrates the application of wide field integration of optic flow feedback to the disturbance mitigation problem, and proposes method of control pairing an intuitive non-linear observer with a output LQR compensator
