Short Takeoff and Landing Strategy for Small-Scale Thrust-Vectoring Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing Vehicles

This work provides a feasible solution to the shipborne short landing problem for thrust-vectoring V/STOL vehicles. The takeoff and rolling vertical strategy was designed in this work. First, design reference established by flying performance mission requirements, including performance, deceleration trajectory stability, velocity conversion corridor, using attainable equilibrium set methods based on six dimensions of freedom model study object. Then, piecewise references, together with nonlinear dynamic inverse-based control frame execution. Finally, hardware-in-loop Monte-Carlo simulation implemented feasibility verification. proposed satisfies requirements. shortens taxiing distance 40% compared normal takeoff. With 20% perturbance all parameters, touchdown speed can be controlled 14 ± 1 m/s, point position constrained inside 5 m radius circle almost zero lateral displacements.
