One of the major challenges in the use of predictive control systems, particularly in the fast system is computational burden. To accelerate the process and reduce the amount of computation and optimization of functions, we use the Laguerre functions. The purpose of this paper is to provide a linear predictive control method using Laguerre functions with constraints on signal and the rate control signal for a helicopter flight control system design in the status of hover maneuver. By tuning parameters of predictive control in nonlinear model, the performance of the proposed method evaluate by two index entries, maneuverability and coupling effect based on standards for design a helicopter flight control system. Multiplicative uncertainty in state-space model has been described due to uncertainty on system modeling to study the robustness of the proposed method. The simulation results of this method have been compared with the results of generalized predictive control method. Simulation results show that in addition of public benefits in generalized predictive control, Laguerre predictive control has the advantage of reducing the time and burden of computation and it is clear to see that the control law we have obtained for the hovering flight condition achieve the top level performance in two categories under examination.
