Abstract

The present paper focuses on trajectory optimization problems for complex first-principle models of rotorcraft vehicles, accounting for the presence of slow and fast dynamic components in the solution. The trajectory optimal control problem is solved through a direct approach by means of a novel hybrid single-multiple shooting method. The capabilities of the proposed procedures are illustrated with the help of an application regarding the estimation of the H-V diagram of a tilt-rotor.
