基于主动流动控制技术的无舵面飞翼布局飞行器姿态控制

飞翼布局飞行器因其升阻比高、隐身性能好等诸多优势得到越来越广泛的应用，但是操纵舵面偏转会增加飞行器的雷达散射截面积。提出了采用射流环量控制和反向射流两种主动流动控制技术实现飞行器的无舵面飞行姿态控制。利用风洞测力试验对射流环量控制和反向射流的"舵效"进行了分析，结果表明环量控制技术能产生规律变化且可控的滚转和俯仰力矩、反向射流产生的偏航力矩随控制信号规律变化。飞行试验记录了飞行器姿态随射流激励器控制信号的变化规律，飞行数据表明俯仰环量控制激励器能有效地控制无人机的俯仰运动；无人机的横航向操纵存在耦合，但滚转环量控制激励器和反向射流能控制无人机的滚转和偏航运动。     

飞翼布局组合舵面航向控制特性综合研究

寻求高效实用的航向控制措施一直是飞翼布局飞行器设计的难点。提出了一种由外翼上翼面嵌入式阻力舵和其相对应的后缘副翼组成的组合舵航向控制措施,通过CFD方法、风洞试验和模型飞行试验3种研究手段,综合研究了单独部件和组合舵在低速、亚声速时的航向控制特性。结果表明：单独阻力舵的航向控制能力比较强,但与纵横向力矩耦合严重,需与其他舵组合使用;单独副翼的航向控制能力很弱,且与纵横向力矩耦合非常严重,建议不单独作为航向控制措施使用;组合舵的航向控制能力强,选取阻力舵与副翼的舵偏角角度差在0°~5°范围的组合舵方案,可以大幅度削弱与纵横向的力矩耦合程度,实现操纵舵面解耦设计;无论单独部件,还是组合舵,舵偏角为0°~6°范围的力矩变化规律较差,建议通过预置舵偏角等方式避开此角度区域。     

增强立尾效益的主动流动控制

本文叙述和讨论了某些增强立尾效益的主动流动控制（AFC）技术的研究。在NASA ERA项目支持下Rensselaer学院完成了4%和5%缩比立尾模型的合成射流AFC风洞试验,加州理工学院完成了14%缩比立尾模型的振荡射流AFC风洞试验,后者表明当动量系数为1.7%时可获50%的侧向力增量。基于将上述两种AFC技术集成于飞机系统的可行性研究,Boeing在Ames NFAC（40 ft×80 ft风洞）完成了B-757全尺寸立尾风洞模型试验,在风速为100 knots,方向舵偏角为30°和侧滑角为0°与-7.5°下,得出采用31个振荡射流激振器可获得20%侧向力增量。NASA ERA项目组与Boeing共同努力在2015年春实现了装有31个振荡射流激振器的B-757 ecoDemonstrator飞行试验。飞行员反馈和13%~16%侧向力增量的飞行试验初步分析结果表明了振荡射流AFC技术的成功。     

Initial virtual flight test for a dynamically similar aircraft model with control augmentation system

To satisfy the validation requirements of flight control law for advanced aircraft,a wind tunnel based virtual flight testing has been implemented in a low speed wind tunnel.A 3-degree-offreedom gimbal,ventrally installed in the model,was used in conjunction with an actively controlled dynamically similar model of aircraft,which was equipped with the inertial measurement unit,attitude and heading reference system,embedded computer and servo-actuators.The model,which could be rotated around its center of gravity freely by the aerodynamic moments,together with the flow field,operator and real time control system made up the closed-loop testing circuit.The model is statically unstable in longitudinal direction,and it can fly stably in wind tunnel with the function of control augmentation of the flight control laws.The experimental results indicate that the model responds well to the operator's instructions.The response of the model in the tests shows reasonable agreement with the simulation results.The difference of response of angle of attack is less than 0.5°.The effect of stability augmentation and attitude control law was validated in the test,meanwhile the feasibility of virtual flight test technique treated as preliminary evaluation tool for advanced flight vehicle configuration research was also verified.     

飞翼布局飞行器航向射流控制方案优化

由于飞翼布局飞行器取消了垂尾,其航向控制困难。为辅助和优化航向控制,基于射流控制技术设计了多种激励方案。设计并制作了航向射流控制激励器,通过风洞测力实验和二维数值模拟,对各方案的控制效果和作用机理进行分析,并选取出最优控制方案。研究结果表明:相同射流动量系数下,产生阻力比施加推力更容易获得偏航力矩。当激励开启后,射流包含与来流相逆的分量越多,与来流作用越明显,形成的分离区越大,控制效果越好。其中前对称吹气为最优控制方案,可以产生约70°阻力舵偏转效果,且力矩耦合程度较小。      

全模颤振风洞试验三索悬挂系统多体动力学分析

全模颤振风洞试验需要通过软支撑系统模拟飞行器的自由飞行状态并调整模型姿态达到配平状态。参考NASA双索悬挂方案,提出了一种两电机驱动的三索悬挂系统,利用后方两索的同向/反向联动实现模型俯仰和滚转姿态的调整,利用弹簧刚度以及钢绳张力设计实现支撑频率要求。基于柔性多体动力学方法,建立了包括飞行器刚体模型、柔性索、滑轮、弹簧、气动力模型、伺服电机控制在内的复杂系统动力学模型,其中,利用任意拉格朗日-欧拉（ALE）变长度索单元描述钢绳,利用不约束物质坐标的索结点约束描述钢绳与滑轮相互作用,利用索结点物质输运速度约束描述伺服电机绞盘,利用飞行力学的气动力模型描述吹风下的气动力。基于该模型,通过小扰动响应辨识研究了弹簧刚度、钢绳张力、连接点位置等因素对支撑频率的影响规律,并分析了系统姿态调整能力,俯仰调整范围达到-12.5°~12.5°,滚转调整范围达到-45°~45°。采用滑轮处电位计测量的钢绳相对位移作为反馈信号,基于设计的控制律利用多体动力学求解器与Simulink对风洞吹风下的姿态调整过程进行仿真,模型达到配平状态,获得了吹风下的索拉力和伺服电机功率,为系统设计提供基础。     

窄条翼导弹俯仰机动中滚转失稳及其控制过程

窄条翼布局导弹通常具有复杂的横向气动特性,在大迎角飞行及快速机动中很容易诱发出现滚转非指令偏离和连续振荡,可能导致飞行失控,影响落点精度。为了研究窄条翼导弹俯仰快速机动对滚转失稳的诱发过程及滚转失稳对俯仰机动控制效果的影响,并验证三通道解耦控制方法的有效性,针对典型俯仰机动过程,分别利用2.4 m跨声速风洞虚拟飞行试验平台和耦合气动/运动/控制的一体化数值计算方法开展了相关研究。结果表明,风洞试验和数值模拟均成功预测了俯仰拉起和保持过程中的滚转自激失稳运动及其引起的纵、横向耦合运动,针对该机动过程,三通道解耦控制方法能够有效抑制滚转运动,保持姿态稳定。     

I-O map inversion, zero dynamics and flight control

The trajectory control of aircraft in rapid, nonlinear maneuvers is discussed. Based on nonlinear invertibility theory, a control law is derived to independently control roll, pitch, and sideslip angles using rudder, elevator, and aileron. Integral feedback is introduced in order to obtain robustness in the control system to parameter uncertainty. The stability of the zero dynamics is examined. Simulation results are presented to show that in a closed-loop system, precise simultaneous lateral and longitudinal maneuvers can be performed despite the presence of uncertainty in the stability derivatives     

Novel roll effector based on zero-mass-flux dual synthetic jets and its flight test

The autonomous and controllable Dual Synthetic Jet Actuator (DSJA) is firstly integrated into the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and flight tests without the deflection of rudders are carried out to verify the viability of DSJA to control the attitudes of UAV during cruising. DSJA is improved into an actuator with two diaphragms and three cavities, which has higher energy levels. Actuators, differentially distributed on both sides of the wings, are installed on the trailing edge close to the wing tips. Flight tests, containing Differential Circulation Control (DCC) using double-side actuators, Positive Circulation Control (PCC) using left-side actuators and Negative Circulation Control (NCC) using right-side actuators, are implemented at cruising speed of 25 m/s. Results show that roll attitude control without rudders could be realized by DSJAs. DCC and NCC can generate the rightward roll and yaw angular velocity, prompting UAV to turn right. The stronger controlling ability can be achieved by DCC, with the maximum roll angular velocity of 15.62 (°)/s. PCC can generate a rightward roll moment, but a leftward yaw moment will be produced at the same time. Leftward yaw induces the leftward rolling moment, which weakens the roll control effect, making UAV keep to yaw to the left with a small slope.     

Installation error calibration for MEMS angular measurement system in hypersonic wind tunnel

The accuracy of model attitude measurement has an important impact on wind tunnel test results. Microelectromechanical System Inertial Measurement Unit (MEMS IMU) provides a feasible way to measure model attitudes with high accuracy. However, the installation error between MEMS IMU coordinate system and the body coordinate system of test models can make the accuracy of the model attitude measurement decrease. In wind tunnel tests, the installation error depends on the relationship between the IMU and the model mechanism before tests. Therefore, in-field calibration in wind tunnel tests is necessary to reduce installation errors. To improve attitude measurement accuracy, the least squares quaternion calibration method based on MEMS IMU and six-position calibration procedure are proposed. High-precision three-axis turntable tests are performed. The pitch accuracy after calibration is higher than that before calibration in the angle of attack sweeping tests. The Root-Mean-Square Errors (RMSE) in the roll and yaw are within 0.01°, which are smaller than those before calibration. In the roll sweeping tests, RMSE of three attitude angles decrease significantly. In hypersonic wind tunnel tests, the pitch errors before and after calibration are within 0.05° and 0.02° in the angle of attack sweeping tests without wind. In five angle of attack sweeping tests with wind, the deviation between the mean of the pitch and the pitch after the elastic angle correction is within 0.03° and the standard deviation of five tests is within 0.01°. The proposed method is confirmed to enhance the accuracy of attitude measurement effectively, which is convenient for engineering applications.

导弹气动特性在亚跨音速下的风洞试验研究

在导弹的设计过程中,导弹的气动特性作为重要因素直接影响导弹飞行的动态品质。在亚跨音速段气动特性呈现剧烈非线性的情况下,工程估算以及CFD数值计算方法所能提供的气动计算精度有限,导致对舵效特性的辨识精度较低,需要进一步采用风洞试验的方法精确计算气动参数,进而确定导弹的舵效。本文应用风洞试验方法研究导弹飞行马赫数在亚跨音速段对导弹气动特性的影响。研究结果表明：亚音速时导弹的气动特性基本一致,跨音速时发生剧烈的非线性变化;导弹的俯仰舵效先增加后减小,滚转舵效先减小后增大。结论对导弹控制律的设计以及后续的工程型号研制有参考价值。     

阻拦索断裂对螺旋桨舰载机着舰安全影响数值分析

喷气动力舰载机着舰拦阻滑跑，如阻拦索断裂，其逃逸复飞的概率极小。螺旋桨动力舰载机零升阻力大，推重比小，其安全复飞的能力值得研究。本文基于建立的螺旋桨舰载机逃逸复飞仿真模型（含阻拦索工作模型、发动机动力响应模型、升降舵操纵模型与气动力的动力影响修正模型），数值模拟了E-2C舰载预警机着舰阻拦索断裂情况下，其逃逸复飞的过程。仿真计算显示对象飞机在不同气动力、离舰速度与舵面操纵逻辑状态下，其纵向动力学方程中敏感参数与航迹下沉量的动态变化，结合视频数据分析其复飞成功的原因。研究表明：动力对螺旋桨舰载机俯仰力矩与升力特性的影响是其逃逸复飞成功的关键。动力影响使对象飞机的俯仰力矩曲线上移0.15，8°迎角下纵向静稳定性减小85%，升力线斜率增大29.7%、最大升力系数增大39%。这显著改善了螺旋桨飞机逃逸复飞状态下俯仰操纵的敏捷性，升降舵操纵效率与失速特性。动力影响使螺旋桨舰载机可在较小的加速度、离舰速度与有限的留空时间情况下，迅速改变其航迹角，减小航迹下沉量，保证逃逸复飞安全。     

Closed-loop dynamic control allocation for aircraft with multiple actuators

A closed-loop control allocation method is proposed for a class of aircraft with multiple actuators. Nonlinear dynamic inversion is used to design the baseline attitude controller and derive the desired moment increment. And a feedback loop for the moment increment produced by the deflections of actuators is added to the angular rate loop, then the error between the desired and actual moment increment is the input of the dynamic control allocation. Subsequently, the stability of the closed-loop dynamic control allocation system is analyzed in detail. Especially, the closedloop system stability is also analyzed in the presence of two types of actuator failures: loss of effectiveness and lock-in-place actuator failures, where a fault detection subsystem to identify the actuator failures is absent. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a canard rotor/wing (CRW) aircraft model in fixed-wing mode, which has multiple actuators for flight control. The nonlinear simulation demonstrates that this method can guarantee the stability and tracking performance whether the actuators are healthy or fail.     

气动推力矢量无舵面飞翼的飞行实验

为实现对无舵面飞翼姿态的控制,针对基本型旁路式双喉道气动推力矢量喷管提出了“单发倒Ⅴ双喷管”布局。随后对该布局的喷管进行测力实验,并且最终将其安装在飞行器上进行了成功试飞,并对采集到的飞行数据进行了分析。结果表明:喷管矢量角随喷管阀门开度基本呈线性变化,且无滞回性;安装该布局喷管的飞行器可以不通过舵面控制,仅仅依靠旁路式双喉道气动推力矢量喷管即可有效地控制飞行器姿态;对于所研究的飞行器,在滚转机动性方面,矢量控制与舵面控制效果相近,而对于俯仰机动性,矢量控制效果较弱;后续如果使用该布局喷管控制飞行器姿态时,应当增大两个喷管之间的夹角,将更适用于飞翼布局飞行器的操纵。      

Dynamics,stability, and control of a four-cable mount system for wind tunnel test

A four-cable mount system is proposed for full-model wind tunnel flutter tests, which may adjust the pitch and roll attitude of the aircraft scaled model and ensure that the model is not subjected to cable tension. The system provides sufficient support to simulate the free flight of the aircraft by applying appropriate spring stiffness and cable tensions. The proposed four-cable mount system is modeled based on Lagrange mechanics, and its dynamics equations consider aerodynamic effects. The singularity of the system and its bifurcation characteristics under flow conditions are analysed to determine the supercritical bifurcation phenomenon for different tension levels and distances from the front suspension point to the mass centre of the model. The mathematical expressions of the longitudinal flight stability of the cable mount system are derived by linearising the system dynamics equations using small perturbations. The influence of the cable tension, spring stiffness, suspension point position, and other factors on the flight stability of the aircraft are analysed. A feedforward control algorithm is proposed to minimize the total elastic potential energy of the system. The results show that the model is in the level flight state when the elastic potential energy of the four-cable mount system is minimized. A feedback control design method is proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theory to derive the closed-loop stability conditions. The system dynamics model that includes the aircraft rigid body model, flexible cables, pulleys, springs, aerodynamic model, and servo motor control is established using the flexible multibody dynamics method. A multibody dynamics solver and Simulink are used to simulate the attitude adjustment of the model in the wind tunnel and verify the supercritical bifurcation characteristics of the system and the effectiveness of the feedback and feedforward control.

连接翼布局纵向控制特性

连接翼布局是高空长航时探测无人机的适宜布局之一。以某大展弦比连接翼布局为例,研究其前/后翼飞行控制特性,包括在纵向姿态和轨迹控制中单独使用前、后翼升降舵的特性和直接升力控制中的协调使用特性。结果表明,虽然定性而言前翼控制对于轨迹响应时间延迟降低有利,但由于内在的慢响应特性,单独前、后翼升降舵控制效果相当;前/后翼协调使用有利于消除俯仰姿态和轨迹的耦合影响,能够有效调整闭环系统零极点,从而调节时间明显缩短;另外,基于输出反馈的特征结构配置方法适宜于直接升力控制律设计,过程直接,得到的结果易实现。这些结果为连接翼飞机飞行控制律设计建立了基础。
