Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft assisted driving, and particularly relates to a HUD display method for aircraft spin recovery assisted driving. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft spin is an extremely dangerous extreme flight state. Currently, the aircraft spin state is basically judged by the pilot himself, and the spin recovery is carried out according to the spin recovery control procedure of the aircraft. However, when the aircraft enters a spin, it will bring great physiological and psychological burdens to the pilot. Coupled with the fact that modern high-performance fighter aircraft often accompany severe three-axis oscillations when entering a spin, it brings great difficulties for the pilot to accurately judge the spin state, and it is extremely easy for the pilot to misjudge. Most modern fighter aircraft are in flat spins, which are even more difficult to recover. If the pilot misjudges the spin state as described above, and then leads to misoperation by the pilot, the spin will be aggravated. Or the aforementioned spin oscillation state causes a delay in the pilot's accurate judgment. Even if the pilot can finally judge the spin state, it also greatly compresses the opportunity for spin recovery, thus ultimately resulting in the inability to recover from the spin and increasing the probability of aircraft crash.

[0003] HUD is a head-up display, which has dynamic image display, and the display content is flexible and rich. It can be used as a carrier for functions such as aircraft spin state display and spin recovery control prompt, etc., to improve the pilot's accurate judgment of the current spin state, assist in prompting the pilot about the control methods of the spin recovery control stick, rudder and throttle combination, and can effectively improve the spin recovery success rate and reduce the spin crash probability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is: A HUD display method for aircraft spin recovery assisted driving of the present invention embeds the spin recovery assisted driving module into the aircraft platform and cross-links it with the onboard HUD system, which can accurately display the spin state of the aircraft when the aircraft enters a spin for the pilot, and at the same time assist in prompting the pilot about the control range of the control stick, rudder and throttle combination, so as to reduce the pilot's misjudgment and enhance the pilot's spin recovery assisted driving, improve the pilot's spin recovery success rate, and reduce the spin crash probability.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention: A HUD display method for aircraft spin recovery assisted driving, characterized in that the spin recovery assisted driving module is embedded into the aircraft platform and cross-linked with the onboard HUD system. The spin recovery assisted driving module includes an input module 501, an assisted driving module 502, and an output module 503;

[0006] The input module 501 receives the aircraft flight state quantity 500 and analyzes the angle of attack a, yaw angular velocity r, control stick, rudder pedal and throttle state quantity therein;

[0007] The assisted driving module 502, when the angle of attack α of the aircraft is greater than the stall angle of attack αs and the yaw angular velocity r is greater than the spin yaw angular velocity r s In this case, it is determined that the aircraft enters the spin state, and auxiliary pilot information for recovering from the spin is given;

[0008] The output module 503 gives the spin state and the auxiliary pilot information to the HUD system 504, and the HUD system displays them in the form of a spin state and a HUD interface for auxiliary pilot to recover from the spin.

[0009] The spin state and the HUD interface for auxiliary pilot to recover from the spin include a HUD display frame 100, a spin horizontal state indicator 200, a spin longitudinal state indicator 201, a control surface and rudder operation boundary 202, an expected control surface and rudder position 203 for recovering from the spin, a current control surface and rudder position 204, an expected left foot pedal position 300 for recovering from the spin, an expected right foot pedal position 301 for recovering from the spin, a current left foot pedal position 302, a current right foot pedal position 303, an expected throttle position 400 for recovering from the spin, a current throttle position 401, as well as a control surface and rudder horizontal scale 205, a control surface and rudder vertical scale 206, a foot pedal scale 304, and a throttle scale 402.

[0010] The spin horizontal state indicator 200 indicates the horizontal rotation direction and rotation speed of the aircraft spin; when the angle of attack α of the aircraft is greater than the stall angle of attack α s and the yaw angular velocity r is greater than the spin yaw angular velocity r s In this case, the solid dot of the spin horizontal state indicator 200 starts to rotate, and its rotation rate is the same as the absolute value of the aircraft yaw angular velocity, so as to indicate the speed of the spin rotation. The rotation direction of the spin horizontal state indicator 200 is the same as the direction of the aircraft spin. Counterclockwise rotation represents a left spin of the aircraft, and clockwise rotation represents a right spin of the aircraft.

[0011] The spin longitudinal state indicator 201 indicates the longitudinal direction of the aircraft spin. The current display state of the spin longitudinal state indicator 201 indicates that the aircraft is in a normal flight spin, and the display state after the spin longitudinal state indicator 201 rotates 180 degrees indicates that the aircraft is in an inverted flight spin.

[0012] The control surface and rudder operation boundary 202 is the maximum control surface and rudder operation boundary of the aircraft, which is circular. At the same time, this circular ring serves as the spin horizontal state indicator 200, that is, the rotation trajectory of the solid dot indicates the spin rate and the horizontal rotation direction state of the aircraft.

[0013] The expected control surface and rudder position 203 for recovering from the spin is the expected control surface and rudder position for recovering from the spin after the aircraft enters the spin state. During the display process, it continuously flashes to improve the pilot's attention and guide the pilot to operate the control surface and rudder to the area of the control surface and rudder position 203 for recovering from the spin.

[0014] The described current control column and rudder position 204 displays in real time the actual position of the control column and rudder manipulated by the current pilot, and is used to display in real time the relative position relationship between the current control column and rudder position 204 and the flashing spin recovery control column and rudder position 203.

[0015] During the display process of the described desired spin recovery left foot pedal position 300 and the desired spin recovery right foot pedal position 301, both the desired spin recovery left foot pedal position 300 and the desired spin recovery right foot pedal position 301 continuously flash, so as to increase the pilot's attention and guide the pilot to operate the left and right foot pedals to the area of the desired spin recovery left foot pedal position 300 and the desired spin recovery right foot pedal position 301.

[0016] The described current left foot pedal position 302 and the current right foot pedal position 303 are used to display in real time the relative position relationship between the current left foot pedal, the current right foot pedal position and the flashing desired spin recovery left foot pedal position 300 and the desired spin recovery right foot pedal position 301.

[0017] The described desired spin recovery throttle position 400 is the desired spin recovery throttle position displayed after the aircraft enters the spin state. During the display process, the desired spin recovery throttle position 400 continuously flashes, so as to increase the pilot's attention and guide the pilot to operate the throttle to the area of the desired spin recovery throttle position 400.

[0018] The described current throttle position 401 displays in real time the actual position of the throttle manipulated by the current pilot, and is used to display in real time the relative position relationship between 401 and the flashing desired spin recovery throttle position 400.

[0019] The described control column and rudder horizontal scale 205, control column and rudder vertical scale 206, foot pedal scale 304, and throttle scale 402 are respectively used to indicate the position scales of the control column and rudder, left and right foot pedals, and throttle.

[0020] Advantages of the present invention: The present invention has rich dynamic display functions through the HUD, and can not only display the spin flight state, but also display the spin recovery auxiliary control of the control column and rudder, foot pedals and throttle. Its significance lies in effectively reducing the probability of the pilot's misjudgment of the spin under high oscillation conditions. At the same time, the displayed spin recovery auxiliary control can guide the pilot to perform correct spin recovery operations, avoid the deterioration of the spin state of the aircraft due to the pilot's misoperation, and further reduce the probability of spin accidents caused by the pilot's misjudgment or even misoperation.
