Integrated Parametric Aircraft Design

چکیده
Driven by the inspiration to develop a new aircraft that incorporates all fields of aeronautical engineering, the focal point of this designapproach is the geometric modelling. Since innovative technologies need to be included in novel configurations, every new idea has to be modelled in a comprehensible manner. Feedbacks coming from the analysed models are easily integrated in the next iterative cycle. In the complex process of airplane design the primary aim is to investigate the configuration as a whole. Consequently, there should be just one geometric model that is frequently updated and to which each discipline has access with its individual tools. For this purpose a parametrical geometric model is built for the following disciplines in order to keep the effort of development of the required interfaces as low as possible. In this approach the aircraft is broken down into logical components which reflect the used modules of an aircraft. These components are successively divided into subassemblies until the obtained aircraft parts can be described with useful parameters. To reach the required factor of detail, this step can be repeated down to the rivets, which includes a large amount of effort, know-how and computing power due to the parameterised interconnections. ______________________

متن کاملAdaptive, Integrated Guidance and Control Design for Line-of-Sight Based Formation Flight
This paper presents an integrated guidance and control design for formation flight using a combination of adaptive output feedback and backstepping techniques without an underlying time-scale separation assumption. We formulate the problem as an adaptive output feedback control problem for a line-of-sight (LOS) based formation flight configuration of a leader and a follower aircraft. The design...
