Abstract
Unmanned helicopters are being widely used in a multitude of applications, mostly military, as well as civilian. Their usefulness and applicability results from their ability to fly in very low altitudes, hover, cruise, take off and land almost everywhere, executing missions that require aggressive and non-aggressive flight scenarios.
This work has been supported partially by two Research Grants, ARO W911NF-06-1-0069 and SPAWAR N00039-06-C-0062.
