Identification Modeling and Characteristics of Miniature Rotorcraft
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an identification model for small-scale rotorcraft, based on the Frequency Response System Identification (FRIS) model, which is used to identify small rotors.

System identification modeling of a small-scale unmanned rotorcraft for flight control design
System identification of small-size unmanned helicopter dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, an accurate, high-bandwidth, linear state-space model was derived for the hover condition of a fully-instrumented model-scale unmanned helicopter (Yamaha R-SO with loft. diameter rotor) for dynamic model identification.

Level control in the steam generator of a nuclear power plant
TL;DR: A framework for addressing the problem of controlling the water level in the steam generator based on an extension of the standard linear model predictive control algorithm to linear parameter varying systems is presented.

Nonlinear model for a small-size acrobatic helicopter
Abstract: A nonlinear model for small-size helicopters was developed and validated using flight data collected on a small-size acrobatic helicopter. The model concentrates on the key effects in the dynamics of small-size helicopter, resulting in a simple model featuring a small set of physical parameters. Validation of the model by comparison of model responses to real flight-test data showed good fidelity for a wide range of conditions including acrobatic maneuvers. The model is integrated into a real-time hardware-inthe-loop simulation environment used for the development of flight control systems and path-planning algorithms that are needed for highly maneuverable autonomous small-size helicopters.
