[0002] The trim of an aircraft is to find the balance point of the aircraft. Balance is the basis for the stable flight of an aircraft. Only on the basis of achieving the balance of force and torque can the flight characteristics of the aircraft be further analyzed and the flight control law be designed. Stratospheric airships have a large mass and weak control force, and generally cannot use rudders to control the pitch angle like airplanes.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] A stratospheric airship is an aircraft that relies on air buoyancy to remain suspended in the stratosphere for a long time. It has important prospects in the fields of regional atmospheric environment monitoring, high-resolution real-time surveillance, early warning and missile defense, and regional communications.

[0027] Comparative analysis and flight practice with low-altitude soft airships show that the aerodynamic coupling effect caused by the flexible effect of the inflatable bag of the stratospheric airship is not dominant, and the "rigidity assumption" can be used for flight dynamics modeling. Based on the body coordinate system, the dynamic equation based on airspeed is as follows: (1) in, , , are the mass matrix, center of mass position matrix and moment of inertia matrix; Add inertia matrix for 6x6; , are the total external force and total external moment (including gravity, buoyancy, thrust, steady and quasi-steady aerodynamic forces) acting on the airship respectively; E is the third-order unit matrix, is the speed (airspeed), is the acceleration, is the angular velocity of the airship, is the angular acceleration, and are the inertia forces and moments, which have the following forms: That is, the dynamic equations of stratospheric airships are not applicable to the floating flight state, and a new algorithm needs to be designed for balancing calculations.

[0028] Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a method for determining the level flight trim parameters of a stratospheric airship. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is one of the flow charts of the method for determining the level flight trim parameters of a stratospheric airship provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes step 110, step 120, step 130, step 140 and step 150.

[0029] Step 110, obtaining relevant parameters of the airship, and determining the steady straight-line level flight equation of the stratospheric airship in the nominal level flight state based on the relevant parameters; the relevant parameters include closed system mass, airship length, airship volume, airship aerodynamic parameters, number of main propellers, and propeller thrust coefficient; Step 120, determining the iteration initial value and the number of iterations of the level flight trim parameters, wherein the iteration initial value includes a first density initial value, a first angle of attack initial value of the level flight angle of attack, and a first speed initial value of the level flight speed; Step 130, determining an updated iteration value based on the iteration initial value and the iteration number, and the iterative calculation formula of the steady straight-line level flight equation; the updated iteration value includes a second density iteration value, a second angle of attack iteration value, and a second speed iteration value; Step 140, determining an iteration residual based on the updated iteration value, and updating the iteration number if the iteration residual has not converged, updating the iteration initial value based on the updated iteration value, returning to determine the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated iteration number until the iteration residual converges, and substituting the updated density iteration value in the latest updated iteration value into the standard atmosphere model to obtain an updated level flight altitude; Step 150: Using the updated level flight angle of attack and the updated level flight speed in the latest updated iterative value, as well as the updated level flight altitude, as the level flight trim parameters.

[0030] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention simplifies the general dynamic equation of the airship shown in formula (1) according to the characteristics of the nominal level flight state of the stratospheric airship, and uses the iterative method to solve the simplified equation to obtain the level flight trim parameters simply and quickly.

[0031] The conditions for the stratospheric airship to achieve nominal level flight are: the yaw propeller is not actuated, the main propeller speed is fixed and there is no differential. Under the above assumptions, the nominal motion is only longitudinal motion. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the longitudinal force of the stratospheric airship provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the equation of motion degenerates into the following force balance equation The equation for steady straight-line level flight is as follows: (2) in, is the combined thrust of the main propeller, represents the angle of attack in level flight, is the aerodynamic drag, is the aerodynamic lift, is the atmospheric density at level flight altitude, is the volume of the airship, Closed system quality, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the aerodynamic pitch moment in the flight control body coordinate system, is the moment of gravity on the body center.

[0032] The first equation in the formula reflects the "thrust-drag balance"; the second equation reflects the "lift-weight balance", where the lift includes buoyancy and aerodynamic lift; the third equation is the moment balance equation, which is the compatibility condition of the first two equations. The calculation of each force and moment in the equation is as follows: in, is the aerodynamic characteristic area, and the volume Power, The number of main propellers, is the centroid position, is the propeller thrust coefficient, which is related to the forward ratio Polynomial function of .

[0033] That is, first, obtain the relevant parameters of the airship, and based on the relevant parameters, determine the steady-state linear flight equation of the stratospheric airship in nominal level flight state. The relevant parameters include the closed system mass m, the airship length L, the airship volume 、Airship aerodynamic parameters (drag coefficient , lift coefficient , aerodynamic pitch moment coefficient ), number of main propellers and propeller thrust coefficient .

[0034] Given the main propeller speed n and the static trim pitch angle , solving the equilibrium equation group (2), we can obtain the level flight speed V, the trim angle of attack α, and the atmospheric density ρ at the level flight altitude, and then obtain the level flight altitude H from the standard atmosphere.

[0035] The equation group (2) can be numerically solved by the iterative method, and the iterative calculation formula is constructed: (3) (4) (5) (6) Where λ in formula (6) is the relaxation factor, which is usually 2. When the iteration does not converge, λ can be appropriately increased. The larger the λ, the stronger the convergence stability, but the lower the convergence efficiency.

[0036] Then determine the iteration initial value and the iteration number of the level flight trim parameter, the iteration initial value includes the first density initial value, the first attack angle initial value of the level flight angle of attack and the first speed initial value of the level flight speed.

[0037] The initial value of the iteration can be: in, represents the initial value of the first density, represents the initial value of the first angle of attack, Indicates the initial value of the first speed.

[0038] Here, the first density initial value is Based on closed system quality and airship volume Sure.

[0039] Further, based on the iteration initial value and the number of iterations, and the iterative calculation formula of the steady straight-line level flight equation, the updated iteration value is determined, wherein the updated iteration value includes a second density iteration value, a second angle of attack iteration value, and a second speed iteration value.

[0040] That is, the initial value will be iterated , and Substitute the right side of iterative calculation formulas (3) to (6) to obtain , and .

[0041] Finally, based on the updated iteration value, the iteration residual is determined, that is, the calculation and The first iteration residual between and The second iteration residual of and The third iteration residual, then, take the maximum value among the first iteration residual, the second iteration residual and the third iteration residual as the iteration residual, and determine whether the iteration residual reaches the convergence standard, and if the iteration residual has not converged, update the number of iterations, update the iteration initial value based on the updated iteration value, return and determine the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated number of iterations, until the iteration residual converges, and substitute the updated density iteration value in the latest updated iteration value into the standard atmosphere model to obtain the updated level flight altitude.

[0042] It should be noted that to determine whether the iteration residual has reached the convergence standard, the iteration residual can be compared with a preset iteration threshold. When the iteration residual is less than the preset iteration threshold, it is determined that the iteration residual has reached the convergence standard. When the iteration residual is greater than or equal to the preset iteration threshold, it is determined that the iteration residual has not converged.

[0043] Further, the updated level flight angle of attack, the updated level flight speed, and the updated level flight altitude in the latest updated iteration value are used as level flight trim parameters.

[0044] It should be noted that the corresponding airship flight performance envelope diagrams can be obtained based on the updated level flight angle of attack, the updated level flight speed, and the updated level flight altitude.

[0045] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is different from conventional aircraft such as airplanes that maintain constant altitude flight through control surfaces. The control and driving ability of stratospheric airships is relatively weak, and their nominal level flight state is usually designed as a floating altitude flight mode, that is, as the dynamic lift changes at different speeds, the flight altitude of the airship will change near the refloating equilibrium altitude. Therefore, the level flight trim equation and trim parameter calculation method of traditional aircraft are not applicable to stratospheric airships. In view of the characteristics of the nominal level flight state of stratospheric airships, the present invention reasonably simplifies the general dynamic equation of stratospheric airships to obtain the steady-state straight-line level flight equation of stratospheric airships. The equation is solved by an iterative method to calculate the level flight trim parameters of the airship at a given main propeller speed and static trim pitch angle. The calculation method can simply and conveniently obtain the airship flight performance envelope diagram, providing a benchmark for the design of stratospheric airship flight control laws.

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, in step 140, when the iteration residual has not converged, updating the number of iterations, updating the iteration initial value based on the updated iteration value, and returning to determine the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated number of iterations include: Step 141, when the iterative residual has not converged and the number of iterations is greater than a preset iteration number threshold, an iteration failure flag is generated, and the relaxation factor in the iterative calculation formula is increased to obtain an updated iterative calculation formula; Step 142, updating the number of iterations, updating the iteration initial value based on the updated iteration value, and returning to execute the step of determining the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated number of iterations, and the updated iteration calculation formula.

[0047] Specifically, when the iterative residual has not converged and the number of iterations is greater than a preset iteration number threshold, an iteration failure flag is generated, and the relaxation factors in the iterative calculation formulas (3) to (6) are increased to obtain an updated iterative calculation formula.

[0048] It is understandable that when the iteration does not converge, λ can be appropriately increased. The larger λ is, the stronger the convergence stability is, but the lower the convergence efficiency is.

[0049] Then, the number of iterations is updated, that is, the number of iterations is increased by 1, and then the iteration initial value is updated based on the updated iteration value, and the execution is returned to the step of determining the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated number of iterations, as well as the updated iteration calculation formula, until the iteration residual converges.

[0050] Based on the above embodiment, the initial value of the first angle of attack is determined based on the static trim pitch angle; The static trim pitch angle is determined based on the horizontal axis position and the vertical axis position of the airship's center of mass in the hull coordinate system.

[0051] Specifically, the initial value of the first angle of attack Static trim pitch angle OK, statically trim the pitch angle , that is, the equilibrium pitch angle when flying without power, the formula is as follows: in, It represents the horizontal axis position of the airship's center of mass in the airship coordinate system. Indicates the vertical axis position of the airship's center of mass in the airship's coordinate system.

[0052] Once the airship is designed, immutable, The posture-adjustable auxiliary airbag can be inflated and deflated. Balanced to an expected value close to zero. Therefore, it is generally Treated as a configurable quantity. After given, Determined by the following formula.

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, step 150 further includes: Step 151, determining a first airship flight performance envelope based on the updated level flight angle of attack; Step 152, determining a second airship flight performance envelope based on the updated level flight speed; Step 153: Determine a third airship flight performance envelope based on the updated level flight altitude.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the horizontal flight speed envelope of the stratospheric airship provided by the present invention, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the angle of attack envelope of a stratospheric airship in level flight provided by the present invention, Figure 5Schematic diagram of the altitude envelope of the stratospheric airship provided by the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, that is, based on the updated level flight angle of attack, the first airship flight performance envelope is determined, then based on the updated level flight speed, the second airship flight performance envelope is determined, and finally, based on the updated level flight altitude, the third airship flight performance envelope is determined.

[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for determining the level flight trim parameters of a stratospheric airship provided by the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes: Step 1: Obtain relevant parameters of the airship, and determine the steady straight-line level flight equation of the stratospheric airship in nominal level flight state based on the relevant parameters; the relevant parameters include closed system mass, airship length, airship volume, airship aerodynamic parameters, number of main propellers and propeller thrust coefficient.

[0056] Step 2, determining the iterative initial value and the number of iterations of the level flight trim parameters, the iterative initial value including the first density initial value, the first angle of attack initial value of the level flight attack angle, and the first speed initial value of the level flight speed. The first density initial value is determined based on the mass of the closed system and the volume of the airship. The first angle of attack initial value is determined based on the static trim pitch angle, and the static trim pitch angle is determined based on the horizontal axis position and the vertical axis position of the airship mass center in the hull coordinate system.

[0057] Step three, based on the iteration initial value and the number of iterations, and the iterative calculation formula of the steady straight-line level flight equation, determine the updated iteration value, where the updated iteration value includes the second density iteration value, the second angle of attack iteration value and the second speed iteration value.

[0058] Step 4: determine the iteration residual based on the updated iteration value, and generate an iteration failure flag when the iteration residual has not converged and the number of iterations is greater than the preset iteration number threshold, and increase the relaxation factor in the iteration calculation formula to obtain the updated iteration calculation formula; update the number of iterations, update the iteration initial value based on the updated iteration value, return to execute the step of determining the updated iteration value based on the updated iteration initial value and the updated number of iterations, and the updated iteration calculation formula, until the iteration residual converges, and substitute the updated density iteration value in the latest updated iteration value into the standard atmosphere model to obtain the updated level flight altitude.

[0059] Step 5: Use the updated level flight angle of attack, updated level flight speed, and updated level flight altitude in the latest updated iteration value as level flight trim parameters.

[0060] Step six, based on the updated level flight angle of attack, determine the first airship flight performance envelope, then based on the updated level flight speed, determine the second airship flight performance envelope, and finally, based on the updated level flight altitude, determine the third airship flight performance envelope.
