We compare three different control methodologies for helicopter autopilot design: linear robust multivariable control, fuzzy logic control with evolutionary tuning, and nonlinear tracking control. The control design is based on nonlinear dynamic equations with a simplified thrust-torque generation model valid for hovering and low velocity flight. We verify the controller performance in various simulated manoeuvres.
