Abstract
Description
Background Art
[0002] In the field of modern aerospace engineering, aircraft center-of-gravity (CG) trimming, as a core technology of the flight control system, is directly related to flight stability, handling response performance, and fuel economy. A reasonable CG trimming method can effectively reduce flight resistance, reduce structural fatigue loads, and improve the control accuracy of avionics systems. However, the current mainstream CG trimming technologies are limited by traditional theoretical frameworks and algorithm models, and there are significant bottlenecks in aspects such as adaptability to dynamic working conditions and data processing accuracy, making it difficult to meet the application requirements of the rapid development of aerospace technology. Currently, aircraft CG trimming technologies mainly rely on static parameters or simplified dynamic models to achieve CG adjustment through fixed algorithms or offline calculations. They have the following technical characteristics: First, they adopt static trimming strategies and rely on initial data such as predefined fuel distributions and structural parameters for trimming calculations; second, they process single-source data and mostly rely on single-source data such as accelerometers and fuel quantity sensors; third, the mechanical models are highly simplified, and a trimming moment calculation model is constructed based on the assumption of a rigid wing. These technical deficiencies directly lead to three major problems: First, there is a lack of real-time performance. The static model cannot dynamically respond to changes in fuel distribution and aeroelastic deformations, resulting in trimming adjustments lagging behind actual CG offsets, seriously affecting flight stability; second, the accuracy is limited. The instability of single-source data and the problem of time asynchronization of multiple sensors lead to an increase in data fusion errors, weak measurement noise suppression ability, and insufficient data integrity, making it difficult to achieve precise trimming; third, the model simplification error is significant. Due to the lack of consideration of aeroelastic effects (such as changes in additional aerodynamic moments and moments of inertia caused by wing bending and torsion deformations), the calculation deviation of the moment of inertia is further amplified, resulting in the trimming result deviating from the actual requirements, increasing flight safety hazards and reducing fuel economy. With the development of aerospace technology towards high speed and intelligence, the flight conditions faced by aircraft are becoming increasingly complex, posing higher requirements for the CG trimming ability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of aircraft CG trimming technology that can overcome the above deficiencies to meet the strict requirements for flight performance and safety in the modern aerospace field.

[0035] S8. Execute the fuel redistribution command and the rudder deflection command to perform additional moment correction. The method is as follows: Determine the fuel redistribution command according to the fuel transfer rate, control the transfer speed of fuel between different fuel tanks, and change the mass distribution; Determine the rudder deflection command according to the deflection angle, and synchronously deflect the control surface to compensate for the instantaneous moment change during the fuel transfer process.
[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, according to the actual control requirements, it is possible to choose to perform center of gravity trimming through fuel redistribution, or to perform center trimming and cooperate with rudder deflection control through fuel redistribution for center of gravity trimming.
[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, in case of an emergency, the control surface trimming is preferentially used to stabilize the attitude; when the center of gravity position slowly shifts due to fuel consumption, the fuel transfer is gradually started, the fuel system transfers fuel at a set rate, and the control surface deflects synchronously to compensate for the instantaneous moment change during the fuel transfer process.
[0038] Further preferably, control the fuel transfer speed according to the calculated fuel transfer rate, change the mass distribution, so as to achieve compensation of the center of gravity; control the control surface deflection according to the obtained deflection angle to compensate for the instantaneous moment change during the fuel transfer process.
[0039] Fuel is usually stored in the wing tanks and the central tank, and some aircraft models (such as large airliners or transport aircraft) may be equipped with front / rear auxiliary tanks. The fuel is transferred between different tanks by fuel pumps to change the mass distribution of the aircraft. For example, when moving the center of gravity forward, pump the fuel from the rear tank to the front tank; when moving the center of gravity backward, transfer the fuel from the front tank or the central tank to the rear tank. The flight management computer monitors the center of gravity position in real time and automatically adjusts the fuel transfer according to the flight phase (such as cruise, descent). During long-distance cruise, as the fuel is consumed, the center of gravity may move backward, and the system automatically transfers the rear fuel forward to maintain the optimal center of gravity range; when preparing for landing, ensure that the fuel distribution makes the center of gravity within a safe range to avoid difficulty in pitch control during landing.
[0040] Adjust the pitch angle by deflecting the control surface, and use the aerodynamic moment to offset the pitch moment generated by the center of gravity shift to achieve trimming of the center of gravity position. Although the control surface adjustment cannot directly change the center of gravity position, it can quickly respond to the change of flight attitude and can cope with sudden center of gravity shift, which is a key operation for flight safety.
[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, taking the center of gravity moving backward during long-distance cruise as an example, the following steps are specifically for trimming the center of gravity by combining the two methods: 1) Conduct problem analysis: The fuel consumption causes the fuel in the wing tanks to decrease, the center of gravity gradually moves backward, and the aircraft shows a nose-up trend. It is necessary to continuously deflect the elevator downward to maintain the pitch angle, but this will increase the drag; 2) Perform center of gravity trimming according to the real-time center of gravity trimming method of the aircraft based on dynamic parameter fusion: Priority of the control surface: The automatic trimming system deflects the elevator downward, immediately generating a nose-down moment to offset the nose-up trend; Fuel adjustment: Calculate the fuel transfer rate in real time, start the fuel pump to transfer the fuel from the rear fuel tank forward, and gradually shift the center of gravity forward; Dynamic decoupling: Calculate the deflection angle in real time. As the center of gravity moves forward, gradually reduce the elevator deflection until the fuel adjustment is completed and the control surface returns to the neutral position.
[0042] After the additional moment correction is completed in S9, return to S1, re-obtain the real-time parameters, calculate the real-time center of gravity position, and repeat steps S1 to S8 until the real-time center of gravity position is within the target range, and the center of gravity trimming is completed.
