[0034] To make the technical solutions of the present application and their advantages clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be further clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. It should be noted that, for the sake of description, only parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, and other related parts can be referred to the usual design. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined to obtain new embodiments.
[0035] The heading quick guidance method is to filter the given heading, calculate the required horizontal overload to change the heading, and finally calculate the given roll angle output to the rudder surface command part. The core of the algorithm is to filter the given heading which changes rapidly over time, which is mainly achieved by limiting the increment of the input heading deviation angle of adjacent periods.
[0036] Generally, the control center's control heading period is several seconds, and it may be longer due to signal interference interruption, so the updated control heading changes rapidly. In order to reduce the aircraft maneuver transient, the first step is to perform a smoothing filter process.
[0037] a) Derive heading increment filter processing
[0038] Calculate the control heading increment:
[0039]
[0040] Where n represents the current value, and n-1 represents the previous beat value;
[0041] Calculate the control heading deviation:
[0042]
[0043] When the change amplitude of the control heading is large or repeated oscillation occurs, the filter processing is performed, that is, the heading increment is derived:
[0044]
[0045] (K takes a value between 0 and 1), otherwise
[0046] The heading deviation filter derivation is shown in Figure 1 .
[0047] b) Derive heading increment limiting processing
[0048] According to the control heading and deviation, the aircraft lateral flight state is determined, and different limiting standards are adopted. Specifically, the following three cases are included:
[0049] 1) Stable level flight
[0050] At the same time, the following conditions are met, that is, the aircraft is determined to be in stable level flight:
[0051] (Condition a) The signal is not oscillating, that is:
[0052]
[0053] K δΨ and signal resolution, Mmax is the maximum Mach number of the aircraft, and M is the current Mach number of the aircraft.
[0054] (Condition b) the time variation of the derived heading deviation is not large,
[0055]
[0056] (Condition c) the difference between the previous beat command and the derived heading is not large, i.e.
[0057]
[0058] C1, C2 are related to the update period of the command heading.
[0059] (Condition d) the difference between the derived heading deviation and the previous beat is not large, i.e.
[0060]
[0061] wherein K T is related to the signal update period.
[0062] (Condition e) has a tendency to slow down, i.e.
[0063]
[0064] (Condition f) the given heading is kept constant over a long period (typically 5.5-15 seconds), i.e.
[0065]
[0066] and signal resolution and accuracy.
[0067] In this case, the amplitude limiting is the most stringent and should be between ± [0.5 x Kt1 x (Mmax - M)].
[0068] wherein is the derived heading increment of the previous two beats, K δΨ is the signal resolution ratio coefficient, Mmax is the maximum Mach number of the aircraft, and M is the current Mach number of the aircraft, is the command heading of the previous beat, is the derived heading of the previous beat, K T is the short-period ratio coefficient, the difference between the current derived heading increment and the derived heading increment of the previous beat; is the minimum command target heading increment, C1, C2 are signal period constants, To accuse target heading increment.
[0069] 2) Stable circling flight
[0070] When the other conditions of stable straight flight are met, and only condition f is not met, the aircraft is determined to be in stable circling flight: The amplitude should be between and
[0071] 3) Heading maneuver flight
[0072] When stable straight flight and stable circling flight are not met, it is determined to be heading maneuver flight
[0073] At this time, The amplitude should be between and
[0074] c) Calculation of given lateral acceleration
[0075] 1) Heading maneuver flight
[0076] Calculate the given lateral acceleration:
[0077]
[0078] Where α T is the angle of attack of the aircraft, γ is the roll angle of the aircraft, M is the Mach number of the aircraft, and T is the time constant. When the given heading is manually set, the pilot has an expectation of lateral maneuver.
[0079] 2) n T Amplitude
[0080] Heading guidance control and altitude speed control are used in conjunction. Generally, heading control is completed first, and altitude speed control is completed later.
[0081] When the given altitude is greater than the current altitude and the altitude difference is large (more than 1 / 4 of the fuel-saving cruising altitude), the heading control is not urgent, and the given lateral acceleration n T should be relatively strict, not more than 0.5g;
[0082] When the given altitude is greater than the current altitude and the altitude difference is small (not more than 1 / 4 of the fuel-saving cruising altitude), n T should be not more than K ΔH ×ΔH; where ΔH = current altitude - given altitude;
[0083] When the given altitude is equal to or less than the current altitude, it means that the altitude has been basically controlled, and the heading control is urgent, and the given lateral acceleration n T should be not more than 1g.
[0084] 3) Calculate the given roll angle
[0085] Given lateral roll angle is calculated from normal incremental overload and given lateral overload:
[0086]
[0087] where n B is the normal incremental overload.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
