Abstract

A first rotorcraft is provided, including a plurality of first coupling points. A second rotorcraft is provided, including a plurality of second coupling points. The first rotorcraft is mechanically coupled to the second rotorcraft using the plurality of first coupling points and the plurality of second coupling points to form a coupled configuration. A joint controller is implemented to maneuver the first rotorcraft and the second rotorcraft of the coupled configuration. Gains associated with the joint controller are set dependent on the application and anticipated maneuvers. The gains are scheduled to be moderate at time instances immediately following the formation of the coupled configuration and then the gains are changed to more aggressive values once the coupled configuration has been stabilized.
