Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wing-body fusion layout aircraft power unit and control method thereof, and specifically relates to a wing-body fusion layout aircraft power unit and control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft wing-body fusion layout refers to the full lift surface aerodynamic shape with highly integrated wings and fuselage. Under the same loading requirements, the wing-body fusion layout can reduce the aircraft's wetted area and reduce the friction resistance of the aircraft's flight. Compared with the conventional wing and fuselage layout, the cruise efficiency of the wing-body fusion layout can be increased by 15% to 20%.

[0003] The longitudinal dimension of the aircraft's wing-body blended layout is relatively short, and the longitudinal balancing capability is limited, which limits the use of the high lift system. In addition, the wing-body blended layout aircraft has a small cruising resistance and often adopts an overall parameter design with a small thrust-to-weight ratio, which often results in insufficient take-off performance.

[0004] Comprehensive analysis shows that the existing wing-body fusion layout aircraft scheme has inconsistent data. The wing-body fusion layout of the aircraft has a high cruise aerodynamic efficiency, and a relatively small thrust engine can meet the cruise flight requirements, but the take-off performance is insufficient, and a relatively large thrust engine is required to meet the take-off field length requirements. If the design increases the cruising altitude to reduce the wing load, or increases the longitudinal trim capability by lengthening the rear fuselage to enhance the aircraft's take-off performance, new problems will be introduced.

[0005] This application is proposed in view of the above-mentioned technical defects. Summary of the invention

[0023] A power plant for an aircraft with a wing-body fusion layout, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an internal engine 1 and an external engine 2.

[0024] The built-in engine 1 is arranged on the inner side of the rear part of the machine body, and is equipped with an air intake duct and an exhaust duct, wherein the air intake duct inlet is opened on the back of the rear part of the machine body, and the exhaust duct outlet is opened at the tail end of the machine body, and an air intake cover 3 is arranged at the air intake duct inlet, and an exhaust cover 4 is arranged at the exhaust duct outlet. The air intake cover 3 and the exhaust cover 4 are driven by an actuator to open or close. When the air intake cover 3 and the exhaust cover 4 are closed, they are integrated with the external curved surface of the machine body.

[0025] The internal engine 1 can adopt a large thrust and small size engine to avoid a significant increase in the weight of the aircraft. The fuel consumption rate is not required, and the thrust of the take-off state is designed to meet the capacity requirements of the aircraft take-off field length.

[0026] There are multiple built-in engines 1 and their corresponding air inlet ducts, exhaust ducts, air inlet covers 3 and exhaust cover 4, which are symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the rear part of the machine body with the machine body axis as the symmetry axis.

[0027] There are two external engines 2, which are arranged on the outside of the rear of the aircraft. Wing-mounted engines or backpack engines can be used. They are designed to have a low fuel consumption rate in cruising state, and the thrust in cruising state meets the requirements of the aircraft's cruising flight.

[0028] There are multiple pairs of external engines 2, which are arranged at the rear of the aircraft with the fuselage axis as the axis of symmetry.

[0029] The power unit of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft has take-off working state and cruising working state.

[0030] When the power unit of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft is in the take-off working state, the air inlet cover 3 and the exhaust cover 4 are opened, and the internal engine 1 and the external engine 2 are working.

[0031] When the power unit of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft is in a cruising state, the air inlet cover 3 and the exhaust cover 4 are closed, the internal engine 1 is shut down, and the external engine 2 is working.

[0032] A method for controlling a power plant of a wing-body fusion aircraft, for controlling the power plant of the wing-body fusion aircraft disclosed in the above embodiment, comprises: When the aircraft takes off, the power unit of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft is set to be in the take-off working state. In addition, the internal engine 1 and the external engine 2 work at the same time to jointly provide thrust for the aircraft to take off. The internal engine 1 and the external engine 2 can operate at the maximum state to generate a large thrust to make up for the problem of insufficient take-off performance of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft; When the aircraft is cruising, the power unit of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft is in the cruising working state. At this time, the internal engine 1 is shut down and only the external engine 2 works to provide thrust for the aircraft cruising. The air inlet cover 3 and the exhaust cover 4 are closed and integrated with the external curved surface of the fuselage, which will not increase the cruising resistance of the aircraft.

[0033] In the power unit and control method of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, an internal engine 1 is arranged on the inner side of the rear part of the fuselage, and an external engine 2 is arranged on the outer side of the rear part of the aircraft. When the aircraft takes off, the internal engine 1 and the external engine 2 jointly provide thrust for the aircraft to take off. When the aircraft is cruising, only the external engine 2 provides thrust for the aircraft to cruise. The take-off performance of the aircraft can be improved without significantly increasing the weight of the aircraft. The design of the air intake duct, exhaust duct, air intake cover 3 and exhaust cover 4 of the internal engine 1 can ensure the cruising resistance of the aircraft and avoid an increase in the cruising resistance of the aircraft. This can well balance the incoordination between the cruising performance and the take-off performance of the wing-body fusion layout aircraft.

[0034] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
