AB  - Purpose– The purpose of this article is to evaluate performance of minimum energy controllers thoroughly on a tiltrotor aircraft. Approach– Minimum energy controllers are designed for tiltrotor aircraft models for helicopter and airplane modes. Performance of minimum energy controllers is evaluated with respect to several criteria. Findings– Minimum energy controllers can be used for tiltrotor aircraft flight control system design. These controllers show satisfactory performance when noise intensities and variance bounds vary. Practical implications– Minimum energy controllers can be implemented for tiltrotor aircraft flight control system design. Originality/value– In this paper, minimum energy controllers are applied for tiltrotor aircraft flight control system design and the performance of minimum energy controllers is evaluated deeply on a complex physical system (i.e. tiltrotor aircraft).
