description This paper focuses on the application of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> adaptive control to the speed autopilot loop of small-scale unmanned helicopters. The <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> adaptive control technique is investigated for its potential to provide reliable speed control, particularly in handling external disturbances and model uncertainties. Although <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> adaptive control has been widely studied, its application to small-scale unmanned helicopters remains relatively unexplored. Through numerical simulations and a preliminary experimental test campaign conducted on a small rotary-wing platform, this paper contributes to validating <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> adaptive control as a promising solution for speed regulation in unmanned helicopter platforms.
