Control of Ducted Fan Flying Object using Thrust Vectoring

Abstract

Recently R/C helicopter is used in fields of aerial photography and aerial investigation. But helicopter rotor blade is not covered, and the thrust is generated by very high rotational speed. So R/C helicopter has a high risk. In this study, we develop the new flying object that using ducted fans instead of rotor blades. In the experiment, we succeeded to achieve stable hovering by 3-axis (roll, pitch and yaw axis) attitude control. But pitch and roll axis caused steady state error, so we are looking the solution. Way of solution, use to PI-D control to eliminate these steady state error.
