Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of supersonic aircraft, in particular to a supersonic low-sonic explosion lift force body layout aircraft. Background Art

[0002] At present, achieving supersonic flight is no longer an obstacle, but in the field of civil aviation, supersonic passenger aircraft have been difficult to put into the market due to restrictions on economy, comfort, safety and other factors. With the growing demand for air transportation, the long flight time has seriously reduced the comfort and travel efficiency of long-distance passengers, and there is an urgent need to develop passenger aircraft with faster flight speeds. Therefore, supersonic passenger aircraft have become one of the key directions for the development of civil aviation aircraft.

[0003] A sonic boom is a huge explosion sound caused by the shock wave and expansion wave system generated by an aircraft during supersonic flight, which evolves in the atmosphere and propagates to the ground. It is an aeroacoustic phenomenon unique to supersonic flight. In general, the intensity of a sonic boom is large and the duration is short. The sound pressure changes dramatically in a short period of time, which can easily cause animals to be frightened and panic, hinder people's normal work and rest, and seriously affect the ecological environment. Up to now, the sonic boom level of advanced supersonic passenger aircraft has been reduced to 80~85PLdB (felt sound pressure level), while NASA's "N+3" plan requires that the sonic boom level should not exceed 70PLdB. It can be seen that the huge gap between the two makes the development of a new generation of green supersonic passenger aircraft face huge challenges. At present, the aerodynamic layout forms studied mainly include variable swept wing layout, oblique wing layout, bidirectional flying wing layout and delta wing layout, etc. There are many contradictions in low sonic boom, high acoustic resistance ratio, flight control and other aspects.

[0040] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.

[0041] Figure 1-4 They are respectively an aerodynamic layout diagram, a top view, a front view, and a side view of the supersonic low-sonic explosion lift body layout aircraft provided in the present application.

[0042] The aircraft fuselage provided in the present application has a flat symmetrical lifting body structure, which is designed according to the area ratio of supersonic and low sonic boom flight. The functions of the fuselage include at least: 1. Providing loading capacity. For example, onboard equipment, personnel, fuel, etc. are all loaded inside the fuselage; 2. Providing a large part of lift. Unlike conventional layout aircraft where the lift is mainly provided by the wings, the lifting body fuselage adopted in the present application can generate a large lift to balance the weight of the aircraft. Specifically, the lifting body fuselage adopts a flat symmetrical lifting body structure, including a pointed leading edge and a large sweep. The sweep consists of symmetrically distributed left and right swept portions. In addition, the thickness of the lifting body fuselage is streamlined, and the thickness of the middle section of the lifting body fuselage is greater than the thickness of the leading edge, the left swept portion and the right swept portion.

[0043] The benefit of using a lifting body fuselage is that the lift can be smoothly distributed along the entire length of the aircraft, which meets the design criteria of supersonic speed and low sonic boom. In addition, the flat symmetrical layout produces less drag, which is conducive to improving the economy of flight. The annular wing, engine nacelle and other components are located above the fuselage. During the flight, the complex shock waves and expansion waves generated by these components are shielded by the fuselage and will not propagate to the ground. The pressure distribution under the fuselage still meets the low sonic boom design criteria, ensuring the low sonic boom level on the ground.

[0044] A tail wing that can be deflected up and down is set at the tail of the fuselage for attitude control during takeoff and landing of the aircraft. The tail wing consists of a left tail wing and a right tail wing, and the left tail wing and the right tail wing are symmetrically arranged at the tail ends of the left swept part and the right swept part of the lifting body fuselage, respectively. When the aircraft takes off and lands, the flight speed is low, and a large lift is required to balance the gravity, and the fuselage requires a large angle of attack. When the left tail wing and the right tail wing deflect the rudder surface upward, a downward force is generated. Since the point of action of the force is behind the center of gravity of the aircraft, the nose is upward. If the aircraft needs to bow its head, the left tail wing and the right tail wing deflect the rudder surface downward, generating an upward force and the nose is downward. When lateral control is required during air cruising, the rudder surface of the tail wing can also be differential, that is, the rudder surface on one side is deflected upward while the rudder surface on the other side is deflected downward, thereby generating a rolling moment. The pitch control of the aircraft can also be achieved through the tail. When the left and right tails deflect the control surfaces downward at the same time, a nose-down moment is generated, and the aircraft can enter a dive attitude from a level flight attitude. Similarly, when the left and right tails deflect the control surfaces upward at the same time, a nose-up moment is generated, and the aircraft can also change its flight attitude. In addition, the tail is far away from the center of gravity of the aircraft, which also improves the efficiency of longitudinal control.

[0045] An annular wing is connected to the fuselage, and its main function is to install control control surfaces. A rudder is arranged in the vertical direction of the annular wing, and a flaperon is arranged in the horizontal direction. All control surfaces are symmetrical along the fuselage. Specifically, the annular wing consists of a left annular wing portion and a right annular wing portion, wherein the left annular wing portion and the right annular wing portion are symmetrically arranged above the left swept portion and the right swept portion respectively. The annular wing can adopt a separate design or an integrated design. When the integrated design is adopted, the left annular wing portion and the right annular wing portion cannot move independently under normal conditions. The rudder consists of a left rudder and a right rudder, and the left rudder and the right rudder are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the left annular wing portion and the right annular wing portion respectively. The flaperon consists of a left flaperon and a right flaperon, and the left flaperon and the right flaperon are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the left annular wing portion and the right annular wing portion respectively, and the left flaperon and the right flaperon are both arranged on the inner side of the left rudder and the right rudder.

[0046] The main function of the rudder is to control the flight direction. When the aircraft is cruising in the air, if the control surfaces of the left and right rudders are deflected to the left at the same time, the aircraft can generate a left torque, thereby causing the aircraft to turn left. Similarly, the control surfaces of the left and right rudders can also be deflected to the right at the same time. In addition, the left rudder and the right rudder can also independently control the direction of deflection.

[0047] When the lift for takeoff is insufficient, the flaperons can be deflected downward, thereby generating upward lift on the wing surface. A typical posture of an aircraft during takeoff is that the rudder of the tail wing is deflected upward, so that the force generated can be used to make the aircraft lift its head. The aircraft will glide at a larger angle of attack, and the lifting body fuselage will also generate a larger lift. At the same time, the flaperons are deflected downward to generate lift on the annular wing. The total lift generated by the fuselage and the annular wing balances the weight of the aircraft, and the aircraft will fly off the ground. After takeoff, the flaperons can also play a role in longitudinal control. Similar to the control logic of the tail wing, the left and right flaperons of the flaperons can be deflected upward or downward at the same time, and the deflection direction can be independently controlled to achieve differential motion.

[0048] It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, the technical features in the above embodiments can be freely combined, and the formed technical solutions also belong to the embodiments disclosed in this application.

[0049] Furthermore, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications may be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
