We have investigated suitable control concepts for future PAVs. Car-like steering concepts would be a candidate for flight-naïve PAV users.  DLR has proposed a novel control concept for PAVs that is designed to offer a control concept that is intuitively understood by PAV users who are already used to steering automobiles. This video explains the background and concept, and highlights DLR's approach towards testing the novel concept in flight on the Flying Helicopter Simulator.
