Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present novel results for trajectory tracking of tandem-rotor helicopters via variance-constrained controllers.
Design/methodology/approach
Regarding these purposes, linearized tandem-rotor helicopter models are benefitted.
Findings
Variance-constrained controllers are very beneficial for trajectory tracking of tandem-rotor helicopters while there exists variance bounds on outputs of interest.
Practical implications
Variance-constrained controllers can be used for cheaper tandem-rotor helicopter operations with high trajectory tracking quality.
Originality/value
Applying variance-constrained control strategy for tandem-rotor helicopters during trajectory tracking. This also causes less fuel consumption and green environment, and good trajectory tracking quality.
