With the SA strategy, we proposed a linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) flight control procedure for an unmanned helicopter model with vectored thrust configuration. This LQG control for chosen model of VTAV has been verified by simulation of take-off and landing maneuvers using software package Simulink and demonstrated good performance for fast flight stabilization of model, consequently, fast SA with economy in energy can be asserted during search-and-rescue operations. }, journal = {International Journal of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {10}, year = {2013}, pages = {2044 - 2049}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/17177}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/82}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 82, 2013}, }
