This paper deals with the autonomous soft landing of unmanned helicopter aiming to enhance its application. Soft landing means to reduce the shock force upon ground during the helicopters land. Helicopter is a multi-input multi-output system and for which optimal control provides graceful and coordinated controls. Firstly, the experimental platform configuration for autonomous soft-landing system is introduced, which is based on the model helicopter. The time-varying gains and time-varying quadratic performance index Linear Quadratic control for autonomous soft landing of miniature helicopter is applied to unmanned helicopter. Simulation shows that the outputs of the system can respond the input signals accurately.
