[0002] Aircraft are instruments that fly in the atmosphere or in outer space, including aircraft and spacecraft. At present, manned / unmanned aircraft are able to achieve automatic flight, but improving the flight safety of manned / unmanned aircraft is still an urgent problem to be solved. If the actual maximum available power or thrust of the aircraft engine and reliable information on aerodynamic characteristics can be obtained, the aircraft can be made to fly at a given speed and path. The existing methods for determining the actual characteristics of engines and aircraft are mostly completed in wind tunnels or other special test benches. The aerodynamic research of aircraft is carried out through wind tunnel tests and flight tests, which has the following defects: First, a wind tunnel or other special test bench is required, and it needs to be equipped with complex hardware equipment. The experimental process is also relatively cumbersome, and there are defects of long time and high cost; second, the changes in flight characteristic parameters caused by changes in the external environment are not considered, thereby reducing the safety of the aircraft in a changing environment. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and an experimental device for determining the aerodynamic characteristics and parameters of an aircraft, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an experimental device for aircraft aerodynamic characteristics and parameters, including an airborne computer, an airborne controller and an airborne information network, wherein the airborne computer and the airborne controller establish a data connection through the airborne information network.

[0005] Preferably, the airborne controller includes a sensor module, a computing module, a microprocessor and a Beidou / GPS satellite navigation receiver.

[0006] Preferably, the sensor module includes a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a barometer, a thermometer and an airspeed sensor.

[0007] Preferably, the computing module includes a microcomputer mainboard and a radio altimeter, and the processor used in the microcomputer mainboard is a roadcom BCM2837B0 processor.

[0008] The method for determining the aerodynamic characteristics and parameters of an aircraft comprises the following steps: step 1, preparation; step 2, data collection; step 3, calculation of the actual power performance and aerodynamic parameters of the engine; step 4, calculation of the flight characteristics;

[0009] In the above step 1, an onboard computer and an onboard controller are installed on the aircraft, and a data connection between the onboard computer and the onboard controller is established through an onboard information network;

[0010] In the above step 2, the aircraft performs short-term horizontal acceleration flight within 15-30 seconds when the engine is operating at the maximum speed, and the onboard controller records the data of the flight speed change. When the Beidou / GPS satellite navigation receiver receives the independent data of the current coordinates and flight speed, the onboard controller calculates the coordinates and flight speed and corrects them, and sends the corrected flight speed data to the onboard computer at a frequency of not less than 2 Hz;

[0011] In the above step 3, after receiving the flight speed data of the aircraft, the onboard computer calculates the actual power performance and aerodynamic parameters of the aircraft engine;

The number of regression equations is equal to the number n of recorded speed values ​​and should be much larger than the number of required parameters determined by this method, i.e., n>>3;

[0023] For the least squares method, the thrust balance equation (1) or the power balance equation (2) is expressed as follows:

[0025] Among them, for equation (1), we have:

[0026] X=T a(max) , a i =1,

[0027] For equation (2), we have:

[0028] X=P a(max) , a i=1,

[0029] According to the least squares algorithm, the regression equation (1) or (2) will be simplified to the following matrix equation about three unknown parameters:

[0111] Based on the above, the advantage of the present invention is that when the present invention is used, the speed change data of the aircraft performing horizontal accelerated flight at the maximum engine speed in a short period of time is used to identify the actual maximum thrust or power of the aircraft engine, as well as the zero-lift drag coefficient and induced drag coefficient of the aircraft, and determine the flight characteristics of the aircraft under a given aerodynamic shape, the current external environment and the actual power performance of the engine. This method does not require wind tunnel testing of the aircraft model, nor does it require specifying the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and the thrust or power parameters of the main thrust engine in the form of a table or function. Instead, it determines the actual zero-lift drag coefficient, the maximum actual available thrust or the maximum actual available power, and the actual induced drag coefficient of the current aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. These parameters are sufficient to calculate the flight characteristics of the aircraft under the current external environmental conditions, thereby reducing the risk of emergency situations occurring in the aircraft due to changes in flight conditions while reducing experimental costs and improving experimental efficiency.
