Abstract:A certain type of unmanned tandem rotor helicopter is taken as the research object, the inner loop attitude con-trol law is designed and improved. In response to the problems of strong coupling, high nonlinearity, low yaw efficiency, and significant external interference in the flight process of the unmanned tandem rotor helicopter, a non-singular terminal sliding mode control strategy is adopted, combined with an improved double power approaching law, to achieve high-precision control of the flight attitude. In addition, in order to further enhance the anti-interference ability of the control system, an extended state observer is designed to effectively suppress external disturbances. The simulation results show that the attitude control law designed significantly improves the dynamic response characteristics, disturbance rejection performance, and robustness of the control system, and greatly enhances the system's ability to suppress sliding mode chattering.
