Modeling for Control of Very Flexible Aircraft
The first investigations into the dynamics of a highly flexible aircraft came from the Daedalus Project, initiated in 1984. 3 The goal of this project was to push the limits of human powered flight while promoting engineering, science and education. Prior to the Daedalus Project the longest distance traveled by a human powered plane was 23 miles, a record set in 1979 with a flight across the En...
متن کاملStatistical Modeling of Aircraft Takeoff Weight
The Takeoff Weight (TOW) of an aircraft is an important aspect of aircraft performance, and impacts a large number of characteristics, ranging from the trajectory to the fuel burn of the flight. Due to its dependence on factors such as the passenger and cargo load factors as well as operating strategies, the TOW of a particular flight is generally not available to entities outside of the operat...
متن کاملMathematical Models for Human Pilot Maneuvers in Aircraft Flight Simulation
Mathematical models are presented in this paper to describe human maneuvers for aircraft flight simulation. Input parameters for the human pilot model (HPM), such as the course deviation indicator (CDI) and the heading change, are defined for the model, and are related mathematically to those in the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for automatic control. Similarities are discus...
متن کاملGust Response Sensitivity Characteristics of Very Flexible Aircraft
This paper studies the effect of varying structural stiffness parameters on the gust response of a very flexible aircraft (VFA). Twelve different aircraft models, as well as the baseline model, are subjected to a temporally and spatially distributed gust of varying durations. The open loop response of the models is examined as a function of different natural frequencies and frequency ratios. Li...
متن کاملHigh-fidelity Aeroelastic Analysis of Very Flexible Aircraft
HIGH altitude, long endurance (HALE) aircraft offer capabilities found nowhere else in the spectrum of machine flight, but their design and analysis offers unique challenges. From their observation altitude above 50,000 ft, HALE systems can relay telecommunication signals, perform intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) functions covering large swaths of land for extended periods o...
