Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft aerodynamic characteristics testing, and in particular to a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle high-attack-angle longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics testing device and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] The UAV high angle of attack longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics test is an experiment to study the flight characteristics of the UAV at a large angle of attack. During the flight, the UAV may face external interference factors such as strong winds and airflows, which may cause changes in flight parameters and thus affect the flight performance and stability of the UAV.

[0003] At high angles of attack, the lift of the aircraft will tend to decrease, and during the process of descending, the aircraft will stall. When the lift and power are insufficient, the aircraft will become unstable and fall faster. Therefore, the current flight control algorithm of fixed-wing UAVs will try to keep the angle of attack within a small range. However, in some working conditions (such as rapid landing in a specified section), fixed-wing UAVs need to decelerate quickly to stop, but the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the UAV is small within the small angle of attack range, and it cannot provide sufficient braking force to achieve rapid braking.

[0004] Therefore, when designing and developing UAVs, understanding the aerodynamic characteristics of UAVs at high angles of attack is crucial to improving the flight performance and stability of UAVs. By conducting experimental research on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of UAVs at different angles of attack, the aerodynamic performance of UAVs such as lift, drag, and pitch moment under different flight conditions can be obtained, providing an important reference for designing flight control systems and improving flight attitude stability.

Since the aircraft is stationary, the wind tunnel wind speed can be regarded as the flight speed of the drone in the airspace. This step is a steady-state longitudinal mechanical property test experiment of the drone.

According to the changes in the balance point, it lays the foundation for the derivation of control theory of the UAV under extreme working conditions.

[0083] The specific process is described as follows:

[0084] (1) The expression of aerodynamic coefficient in the aerodynamic model is as follows:

[0093] Multiplying this coefficient by the aircraft and flow field related parameters, we can get the aerodynamic force in the body coordinate system. Axis force and the rotation in the body coordinate system Aerodynamic torque of the shaft :

Substituting formulas 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 into formulas 1.6 and 1.7, we can see that in the body coordinate system Aerodynamic force in the axial direction and the rotation in the body coordinate system Aerodynamic torque of the shaft It's around Pitch angular velocity of the axis , Angle of attack 、Pitch rudder Function:

[0097] (1.8)

[0098] (1.9)

[0099] The aerodynamic data obtained from the experiment can be used to fit the aerodynamic coefficients in equations 1.8 and 1.9 to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics.

[0100] (2) This experimental system is mainly aimed at studying the dynamic characteristics under a wide range of angles of attack, mainly involving longitudinal motion and force, and the state variables involved are in the body coordinate system. Speed ​​of direction , Speed ​​of direction , Speed , around Pitch angular velocity of the axis The longitudinal motion equations consist of two translational equations and one rotational equation:

[0110] The angle of attack is used to reflect the aircraft state under extreme conditions. and At the same time, under the test conditions, considering that there is no thrust and the corresponding torque, and at the rolling angular velocity and yaw rate is 0, Speed ​​of direction is 0, the roll angle The longitudinal dynamics model is simplified to obtain the dynamics formulas for the angle of attack and pitch angular velocity:

[0111] (1.16)

[0112] (1.17)

[0113] According to the longitudinal dynamic model, by fixing the elevator deflection ,exist Draw a series of different initial states in the plane and The initial system state change line is drawn into a phase diagram, and the stability of each equilibrium point is observed and analyzed in the phase diagram.

[0114] The method of drawing the phase diagram is as follows:

[0115] The system state from multiple random states under different initial conditions - First, use (1.16) and (1.17) to calculate , The value of , get the change trend of the next moment, and then draw the continuously changing system state - The curve is composed of multiple changing curves under different states, that is, the phase diagram is drawn.

[0116] in, , It can be determined during the test process that , The calculation is performed using equations 1.8 and 1.9, where the aerodynamic coefficients are obtained by fitting the test data.

[0117] Determination of the balance point:

[0118] For a nonlinear system , where x is the state variable and u is the input variable. Let the state and input is the equilibrium solution of the system, that is, the equilibrium point of the system appears in the state and the corresponding input At this point, all the state derivatives of the system are 0, that is,

[0119] (1.18)

[0120] So it should be The system reaches equilibrium.

[0121] Figure 2 In the obtained phase diagram, each solid line represents a state trajectory that changes from a certain initial state. The arrow indicates the direction of movement of the system state. The system will tend to develop towards a stable state, which is the direction pointed by the arrow. The normal operating equilibrium point and the large angle of attack limit operating equilibrium point in the figure are represented by asterisks and crosses, respectively.

[0122] Normal working condition balance point, when the system state is around this point, the system state will tend to approach this point, at this time the system state is in the stable zone. When the system is at this stable balance point, the entire system enters a stable balance.

[0123] In addition, the two extreme operating equilibrium points are unstable equilibrium points. When the system state is around this point, it tends to move away from this point. On one side of this point, the state value of the system will diverge, while on the other side it will move toward the stable equilibrium point and tend to be stable. This is the critical stable state of the system.

[0124] By analyzing the phase diagram equilibrium solution, the stable state of the equilibrium solution with different rudder deflections is obtained. By learning and analyzing the unstable equilibrium solution, the control system is used to approach the unstable equilibrium solution under extreme working conditions, thereby realizing the control of the UAV under extreme working conditions and completing more extreme work tasks.

[0130] Set the pitch angular velocity , Angle of attack , elevator deflection In order to make the solution of this system of equations valid, there are only three unknown quantities when solving the system of equations composed of 1.19 and 1.20: the pitch angular velocity , Angle of attack , elevator deflection However, there are only two equations in this system, and obviously, in order to solve this system, one of the three unknowns must be restricted. Therefore, we can specify , to solve the equations in and .

[0131] In this system of equations, except and Other unknown quantities Control adjustment is a known quantity, in the body coordinate system Speed ​​of direction Since the wind speed under the test conditions is regarded as the speed direction, the x-direction component of the wind speed in the body coordinate system is , pitch angle Under the experimental constraints, there is no roll angle and yaw angle between the earth coordinate system and the body coordinate system. The angle between the earth coordinate system and the body coordinate system is the pitch angle, that is, when the fuselage is horizontal, it is 0°, and the pitch deflection angle is the pitch angle. , we can solve equations 1.19 and 1.20 to obtain equilibrium solutions for different rudder deflections.

For those skilled in the art, it is easy to make various types of improvements or modifications based on the application methods and principles disclosed in the present invention, and it is not limited to the method described in the above specific embodiment of the present invention.
