[abstFig src='/00280003/09.jpg' width=""300"" text='Thrust vectoring mechanisms for WRH' ] A quad rotor helicopter (QRH) is a radio controlled (RC) aircraft that tilts its attitude to generate a horizontal force component to move in a certain direction. Using autonomous control, the attitude control system tilts the airframe against disturbances, such as wind. Thus, the attitude of a flying QRH is always slanted. In this study, three types of deflecting thruster were compared to maintain the position and horizontal attitude of the QRH. The extra thrusters are tilted to generate a thrust against disturbances without causing the airframe to incline. It is suitable for precise measurements for which the airframe posture should remain horizontal.
