Maneuvering Flight

Abstract This paper discusses how structural load objectives can be included in a rotorcraft flight control system design in an efficient and straightforward way using multivariable control techniques. Several research studies have indicated that pitch link loads for various rotorcraft types can reach high or even unacceptable values, both in steady state and maneuvering flight. This is especially the case for high-speed aggressive maneouvers. Pitch link loads at high-speed flight are therefore taken as a case study. A novel longitudinal control system is presented, designed to reduce helicopter pitch-link loads during high-speed longitudinal manoeuvres whilst providing a pitch attitude command attitude hold response type. The design is based on a high-order model of a helicopter representative of the UH-60 Black Hawk. New metrics are presented for the analysis of structural loads that can be used in combination with ADS-33 handling qualities requirements.

Simulation Results

In order to realize accurate flight control system design and simulation, an integrated scheme of aircraft model which consists of flight dynamics, fly-by-wire (FBW) platform and flight environment is proposed. Flight environment includes gravity, wind, and atmosphere. And the actuator and sensors such as gyroscope and accelerometer models are considered in the FBW platform. All parts of the integrated model are closely connected and interacted with each other. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the integrated aircraft model and also indicate that the (Flight Control Law) FCL must be designed with robustness to sensor noise and time delays with the FBW platform in addition to the required robustness to model uncertainty in flight dynamics.

Exterior Ballistics

The deflection of projectile nose is aimed at changing the motion of the projectile in flight with the theory of motion control and changing the exterior ballistics so as to change its range and increase its accuracy. The law of external ballistics with the deflectable nose is considered as the basis of the design of a flight control system and an important part in the process of projectile development. Based on the existing rigid external ballistic model, this paper establishes an external ballistic calculation model for deflectable nose projectile and further establishes the solving programs accordingly. Different angle of attack, velocity, coefficients of lift, resistance, and moment under the deflection can be obtained in this paper based on the previous experiments and emulation researches. In the end, the author pointed out the laws on the impaction of external ballistic trajectory by the deflection of nose of the missile.

The Stability

Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion(NDI) control has excellent rapidity and decoupling ability, unfortunately it lacks the essential robustness to disturbance. From the perspective of enhancing the robustness, an adaptive NDI method based on L1 adaptive structure is proposed. The L1 adaptive structure is introduced into the NDI control to enhance its robustness, which also guarantees the stability and expected dynamic performance of the system suffering from the disturbance influence. Secondly, the flight control law of the advanced aircraft is designed based on the present method to improve the robustness and fault tolerance of the flight control system. Finally, the effectiveness of the flight control law based on the present approach is verified under the fault disturbance. The results showed that the flight control law based on L1 adaptive NDI has excellent dynamic performance and strong robustness to parameter uncertainties and disturbances.

Control Implementation

This paper presents an investigation into the design of a flight control system, using a decoupled non-linear sliding mode control structure, designed using a linearised, 9th order representation of the dynamics of a PUMA helicopter in hover. The controllers are then tested upon a higher order, non-linear helicopter model, called RASCAL. This design approach is used for attitude command flight control implementation and the control performance is assessed in the terms of handling qualities through the Aeronautical Design Standards for Rotorcraft (ADS-33). In this context a linearised approximation of the helicopter system is used to design an SMC control scheme. These controllers have been found to yield a system that satisfies the Level 1 handling qualities set out by ADS-33.

Simulation Results

In order to study the uncertain nonlinear jamming problem in UCAV’s flight control system, a method using jamming observer to check the system’s jamming was designed. Based on jamming observer, a flight control law was constructed, which reduced the restrictive condition for the jamming. The simulation results show that the adaptive flight control law based on jamming observer, make UCAV’s flight control system have good stability and robustness, it’s a great convenience analyzing the system stability.
