1 INTRODUCTION

Helicopter control is a multivariable control problem with usually four outputs: the vertical velocity, the pitch angle, the roll angle, and the yaw angle. The controls used are the longitudinal and lateral cyclic command (forward, backward, left, and right). And the tail rotor and pitch collective command (up, down, and engine speed).
