  • The Fly-By-Wire(FBW) flight control system is essential to improve the stability and flying quality of the helicopter. Advanced aerospace companies, such as Bell-Sikorsky (USA) and NHI (European Consortium), have already applied the FBW flight control system to manufacture V-22 and NH-90 helicopters, respectively. This paper addresses the development of control law design using model inversion method improve the hover and low speed handling qualities of helicopter based on BO-105 model in 'Day' and 'Degraded visual environments(DVEs)' in accordance with ADS-33E-PRF. Design parameters are optimized to satisfy the handling qualities specification using Control Designer's Unified Interface (CONDUIT) commercial control law software. The result of the analysis based on CONDUIT and non-real time simulation in-house software, HETLAS (HElicopter Trim Linearization And Simulation) reveals that the provides an efficient mean to achieve Level 1 handling qualities.

  • This paper describes the development of a modular simulation environment to analyze the performance of guided weapons. For the reusability of the simulation environment, components of the guided weapon simulation are modularized based on MATLAB Simulink. And the module management system is implemented based on Excel and MATLAB GUI for simulation interface and module management. In addition, a method of integration for modules with different interface and a method to set up the guidance and control phase for designing a guided flight scenario are suggested. Finally, to verify the performance of the implemented simulation environment, it was compared with the existing simulation results.

  • In this paper, we implemented a flight posture simulator that intuitively understands aircraft flight posture and visualizes the principle of motion. The proposed system operates the 6 - axis motion platform according to the change of the navigation information and transmits the flight attitude to the simulator using the gyro sensor. A gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor are used together to analyze the attitude of the aircraft. The reason is that the gyro sensor has a cumulative error in the integration process. And the accelerometer sensor was compensated by using the complementary filter because noise was serious due to short term vibration. Using the compensated sensor information, the motion platform is operated by calculating the angle to be transmitted to the 6-axis motor. And visualization result is implemented using OpenGL. The results of this study can be used as teaching materials for students related to aviation in the future.

  • Generally, the principle function of simulator control loading system is to provide the pilot or student with the "feel" of the actual aircraft flight control systems during flight, taxing, and in malfunction. Flight control "feel" is the resistance felt by the pilot when moving a control stick or pedal, coupled with the amount of control surface deflection, and hence aircraft response, resulting from the input. Therefore, the control loading servo must be capable of performing to some general list of requirements derived from real aircraft control forces. In this paper, we deal with a $\mu-controller$ design for a control loading system of the flight simulator. For this, we derive a frequency response of the hydraulic system from the identification data and then design a controller using a $\mu-synthesis$ method. Under the same condition of simulation, $\mu-controller$ provides the superior performance than PID controller.than PID controller.

  • In this paper a model following flight control system design using the discrete time quasi-sliding mode control method is described. The quasi-sliding mode is represented as the sliding mode band, not as the sliding surface. The quasi-sliding mode control is composed of the equivalent control for the nominal system without uncertainties and disturbances and the additive control compensating the uncertainties and disturbances. The linearized plant on the equilibrium point is used in designing a flight control system and the stability conditions are proposed for the model uncertainties. Pseudo-state feedback control which uses the model variables for the unmeasured states is proposed. The proposed method is applied to the design of the roll attitude and pitch load factor control of a bank-to-turn missile. The performance is verified through the nonlinear six degrees of freedom flight simulation.

  • This paper presents a new in-flight alignment method for an SDINS under large initial heading error. To handle large heading error, a new attitude error model is introduced. The attitude errors are divided into heading error and leveling errors using a newly defined horizontal frame. Some navigation error dynamic models are derived from the attitude error model for indirect feedback filtering of the in-flight alignment system. A Kalman filter with Position measurement is designed to estimate navigation errors as the indirect feedback filter Simulation results show that the proposed in-flight alignment method reduces the heading error very quickly from more than 40deg to about 5deg so as to apply a refined navigation filter. The total alignment process including leveling mode and navigation mode in addition to the proposed one allows large initial values not only in heading error but also in leveling errors.

  • To have the competitiveness in the future worldwide small aircraft market, we should be able to develop the aircraft which is highly safe, easy to fly, and having excellent flight characteristics. FBW(Fly-By Wire) system is essential for the enhancement of flight safety and control easiness. FBW system that has been applied only to the modern fighter and transport aircraft is recently applied to smaller aircraft such as regional aircraft, business aircraft and even small aircraft. The purpose of this research includes the development of flight control computer, the definition of FBW system component, the design concept of each component for redundant management, OFP(Operational Flight Program) development, FBW system integration and HILS(Hardware In-the Loop Simulation) verification environment to test this FBW system.

  • In this paper, we propose an adaptive neural dynamic surface control (DSC) approach with $H_{\infty}$ tracking performance for full dynamics of nonlinear flight systems. It is assumed that the model uncertainties such as structured and unstrutured uncertainties, and external disturbances influence the nonlinear aircraft model. In our control system, self recurrent wavelet neural networks (SRWNNs) are used to compensate the model uncertainties of nonlinear flight systems, and an adaptive DSC technique is extended for the disturbance attenuation of nonlinear flight systems. All weights of SRWNNs are trained on-line by the smooth projection algorithm. From Lyapunov stability theorem, it is shown that $H_{\infty}$ performance nom external disturbances can be obtained. Finally, we present the simulation results for a nonlinear six-degree-of-freedom F-16 aircraft model to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

  • According to the characteristics of salvo attack for the multiple flight vehicles (MFV), the design of cooperative guidance law can be converted into the consensus problem of multi-vehicle system through the concept of multi-agent cooperative control. The flight vehicles can be divided into leader and followers depending on different functions, and the flight conditions of leader are independent of the ones of followers. The consensus problem of leader-follower multi-vehicle system is researched by graph theory, and the consensus protocol is also presented. Meanwhile, the finite time guidance law is designed for the flight vehicles via the finite time control method, and the system stability is also analyzed. Whereby, the guidance law can guarantee the line of sight (LOS) angular rates converge to zero in finite time, and hence the cooperative attack of the MFV can be realized. The effectiveness of the designed cooperative guidance method is validated through the simulation with a stationary target and a moving target, respectively.
