Advanced Linear Model Predictive Control For Helicopter Shipboard Maneuvers

This dissertation focuses on implementing and analyzing advanced methods of model predictive control to control helicopters into stable flight near a ship and perform a soft touchdown from that state. A shrinking horizon model predictive control method is presented which can target specific states a...
