Unmanned helicopter is convenient at many situations like rescue and monitoring. However, radio control helicopter, which is known generally, is able to be operated only in the visible area of the operator. Moreover, unmanned helicopter of this type is difficult to control. In this background, many studies about autonomous control of unmanned helicopter have been carried out. In this paper, we present a fully autonomous control system for a small electric helicopter. First, we construct sensor system used for control. Next, we design the autonomous control system consist of rotor revolution control, attitude control, velocity control and position control. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the autonomous control system by flight experiment.
