[0002] A target drone is a special powered unmanned aircraft that can participate in various verification tests as an air mobile target. A target drone capable of flying above Mach 1 and below Mach 1 is called a transonic target drone.
[0003] The tail fins of existing transonic target drones are all single control surfaces. When the elevator is used as the control surface of a transonic target drone, when the flight speed is greater than the critical Mach number, the elevator effectiveness drops severely, and the longitudinal static stability increases, which may cause the elevator to fail to meet the maneuverability requirements for target supply. When the full-movable tail fin is used as the control surface of a transonic target drone, when the flight speed is less than the critical Mach number, the effectiveness of the full-movable tail fin is too large, resulting in a decrease in flight control accuracy and an increase in the force on the control surface structure.

Specific embodiments
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0027] The following explanations are made for some technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application to facilitate understanding. It should be considered that they are only exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described here without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the descriptions of some well-known functions and structures are omitted below.
[0028] A target drone is a special powered unmanned aerial vehicle that can participate in various verification tests as an air mobile target. A target drone capable of flying above Mach 1 and below Mach 1 is called a transonic target drone.
[0029] The tail fins of existing transonic target drones are all single control surfaces. When the elevator is used as the control surface of a transonic target drone, when the flight speed is greater than the critical Mach number, the elevator control effectiveness drops severely, and the longitudinal static stability increases, which will cause the elevator to fail to meet the maneuverability requirements for target supply. When the all-moving tail fin is used as the control surface of a transonic target drone, when the flight speed is less than the critical Mach number, the all-moving tail fin control effectiveness is too large, resulting in a reduction in flight control accuracy and an increase in the force on the control surface structure.
[0030] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated control method for the elevator and all-moving tail fin to solve the problems of reduced control accuracy of the all-moving tail fin at subsonic speeds or insufficient maneuverability of the elevator at transonic speeds.
[0031] In this background art, the present disclosure provides an integrated control method for the elevator and all-moving tail fin, which can improve the flight control performance of a transonic target drone.
[0032] The execution subject of the integrated control method of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be a computer or a server, or can also be other electronic devices with data processing capabilities; or, the execution subject of the method can also be a processor in the above-mentioned electronic device (such as a central processing unit (CPU)); or, the execution subject of the method can also be an application (APP) installed in the above-mentioned electronic device that can implement the functions of the method; or, the execution subject of the method can also be a functional module or unit with the functions of the method in the above-mentioned electronic device, etc. No limitation is imposed on the execution subject of the method herein.
[0033] The integrated control method of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane will be described exemplarily below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the integrated control method of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane provided by the embodiments of the present application. Among them, Figure 1 It is only an execution order shown in the embodiments of the present application, and does not represent the only execution order of the integrated control method of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane. Under the condition that the final result can be achieved, Figure 1 the steps shown can be executed in parallel or reversed. As Figure 1 shown, the method may include S101 to S104.
[0035] S101. Obtain the critical Mach number, the first Mach number range, and the second Mach number range of the target aircraft.
[0036] Among them, the first Mach number range is the Mach number range less than or equal to the critical Mach number, and the second Mach number range is the Mach number range greater than the critical Mach number.
[0037] Exemplarily, the critical Mach number can be determined according to the self-structural shape and flight performance of the target aircraft. The critical Mach number belongs to the common knowledge in the art and will not be elaborated herein.
[0038] The first Mach number range and the second Mach number range can be directly preset according to the critical Mach number, or can be selected according to the relationship curve between the aerodynamic coefficient of the target aircraft and the Mach number in combination with the critical Mach number, and no limitation is imposed thereon.
[0039] S102. Obtain the target rudder effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane of the target aircraft within the preset Mach number range.
[0040] Among them, the preset Mach number range includes the first Mach number range and the second Mach number range.
[0041] Exemplarily, the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tailplane effectiveness of the target aircraft within a preset Mach number range can be calculated to obtain multiple ratio results, and these multiple ratio results can be directly determined as the target effectiveness ratio.
[0042] It can be understood that the elevator effectiveness and the all-moving tailplane effectiveness of the target aircraft within a preset Mach number range can be obtained in advance. The effectiveness can be obtained through numerical simulation (such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation calculation) combined with the effectiveness calculation formula; the calculation methods for the elevator and all-moving tailplane effectiveness of the aircraft are well-known calculation methods to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
[0043] In some possible implementation manners, obtaining the target effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane of the target aircraft within a preset Mach number range includes S201 to S203.
[0044] S201. Determine the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tailplane effectiveness of the target aircraft at multiple Mach numbers within a preset Mach number range as the initial effectiveness ratio according to the elevator effectiveness and the all-moving tailplane effectiveness of the target aircraft.
[0045] The elevator effectiveness and the all-moving tailplane effectiveness corresponding to multiple Mach numbers can be obtained at a certain angle of attack, and then the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tailplane effectiveness at multiple Mach numbers can be used as the initial effectiveness ratio.
[0046] Although the angle of attack has little influence on the effectiveness, this factor can be ignored during calculation. In specific application scenarios, if higher control accuracy is required, the slight differences brought by this factor can also be considered.
[0047] For example, at multiple Mach numbers and multiple angles of attack, the elevator effectiveness is shown in Table 1, and the all-moving tailplane effectiveness is shown in Table 2. The ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tailplane effectiveness at the same Mach number and the same angle of attack can be calculated until all Mach numbers and all angles of attack are traversed, and the initial effectiveness ratio shown in Table 3 is obtained.
[0048] Table 1 Elevator Effectiveness
[0049] Table 2 All-Moving Tailplane Effectiveness
[0050] Table 3 Initial Effectiveness Ratio
[0051] S202. Determine the first ratio result based on the initial effectiveness ratio.
[0052] Exemplarily, the initial rudder effectiveness ratio can be directly determined as the first ratio result, or the initial rudder effectiveness ratio can be numerically processed to obtain the first ratio result.
[0053] In some possible implementation manners, determining the first ratio result based on the initial rudder effectiveness ratio includes: Obtaining the initial rudder effectiveness ratios corresponding to different angles of attack at each Mach number, and determining the average value of the initial rudder effectiveness ratios corresponding to different angles of attack at the same Mach number; using the average value as the rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to different angles of attack at the same Mach number to obtain the first ratio result.
[0054] Exemplarily, continuing with the above example, the average value of the ratios of the elevator rudder effectiveness to the full-movable tail rudder effectiveness corresponding to different angles of attack at a Mach number of 0.2 can be calculated according to Table 3 first, and this average value is used as the ratio of the elevator rudder effectiveness to the full-movable tail rudder effectiveness corresponding to different angles of attack at a Mach number of 0.2 (i.e., the rudder effectiveness ratio); after performing the same processing on the ratios of the elevator rudder effectiveness to the full-movable tail rudder effectiveness corresponding to different angles of attack at other Mach numbers, the first ratio result as shown in Table 4 can be obtained.
[0055] Table 4 First ratio result
[0056] It can be understood that the first ratio result can also be directly determined as the target rudder effectiveness ratio.
[0057] S203. Raise the first ratio result corresponding to the first Mach number range by a first preset ratio, lower the first ratio result corresponding to the second Mach number range by a second preset ratio to obtain a second ratio result, and use the second ratio result as the target rudder effectiveness ratio of the elevator to the full-movable tail.
[0058] Exemplarily, the first preset ratios corresponding to different Mach numbers can be the same or different, the first preset ratios corresponding to different Mach numbers can be the same or different, the first preset ratio and the second preset ratio can be the same or different, and no restrictions are imposed on this.
[0059] Exemplarily, the magnitudes of the first preset ratio and the second preset ratio corresponding to different Mach numbers can be determined according to the actual situation of the target aircraft, and no restrictions are imposed on the magnitudes of the first preset ratio and the second preset ratio either.
[0060] For example, raising the first ratio result corresponding to the first Mach number range by a first preset ratio and lowering the first ratio result corresponding to the second Mach number range by a second preset ratio, the obtained target rudder effectiveness ratio (i.e., the second ratio result) is as shown in Table 5.
[0061] Table 5 Target rudder effectiveness ratio
[0062] Thus, a certain margin is preset based on the first ratio result to obtain a second ratio result, and the second ratio result is used as the target rudder effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the fully movable tail fin, which can ensure that the rudder effectiveness after the switch of the elevator and the fully movable tail fin is not less than that before the switch.
[0063] S103. When the speed of the target aircraft is within the first Mach number range and in the elevator control state, determine the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio; when the speed of the target aircraft is within the second Mach number range and in the fully movable tail fin control state, determine the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio.
[0064] Exemplarily, when determining the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin, the corresponding rudder effectiveness ratio can be determined from the target rudder effectiveness ratio according to the current Mach number of the target aircraft, and then the product of the current elevator rudder deflection angle and this rudder effectiveness ratio is calculated to obtain the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin; similarly, when determining the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, the corresponding rudder effectiveness ratio can be determined from the target rudder effectiveness ratio according to the current Mach number of the target aircraft, and then the ratio of the current fully movable tail fin rudder deflection angle and this rudder effectiveness ratio is calculated to obtain the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator.
[0065] It can be understood that the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin is used to subsequently switch the elevator control to the fully movable tail fin control based on the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin, and the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator is used to subsequently switch the fully movable tail fin control to the elevator control based on the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator.
[0066] Specifically, when the speed of the target aircraft is within the first Mach number range and in the elevator control state, determining the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio includes: When the speed of the target aircraft is within the first Mach number range and in the elevator control state, adjust the target aircraft to a level flight attitude based on the switching instruction; determine the first rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to the current Mach number based on the current Mach number and the target rudder effectiveness ratio; determine the first ratio of the rudder deflection angles of the fully movable tail fin and the elevator at equal rudder effectiveness based on the first rudder effectiveness ratio; determine the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin based on the first ratio of the rudder deflection angles and the current elevator rudder deflection angle.
[0067] For example, taking the target rudder effectiveness ratio as shown in Table 5 and the current speed of the target aircraft being 0.85 Mach as an example, when determining the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin, the target aircraft can first be adjusted to a level flight attitude so that the target aircraft is in stable flight. The current elevator deflection angle is 1 degree. Then, using the interpolation method, the first rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to a Mach number of 0.85 Mach is calculated as 1 / 2 + ((1 / 2 - 1 / 2) × (0.85 - 0.8)) / (0.9 - 0.8) = 1 / 2. The first rudder effectiveness ratio is used as the ratio of the first deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin to the elevator at equal rudder effectiveness (i.e., the first deflection angle ratio is determined to be 1 / 2). Then, calculate the product of the current elevator deflection angle (i.e., 1 degree) and the first deflection angle ratio (i.e., 1 / 2), and the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin is obtained as 0.5 degrees.
[0068] When the speed of the target aircraft is in the second Mach number range and in the all-moving tail fin control state, determining the target deflection angle of the elevator based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio includes: When the speed of the target aircraft is in the second Mach number range and in the all-moving tail fin control state, adjust the target aircraft to a level flight attitude based on the switching instruction; determine the second rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to the current Mach number based on the current Mach number and the target rudder effectiveness ratio; determine the ratio of the second deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin to the elevator at equal rudder effectiveness based on the second rudder effectiveness ratio; determine the target deflection angle of the elevator based on the ratio of the second deflection angles and the current deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin.
[0069] For example, taking multiple target rudder effectiveness ratios as shown in Table 5 and the current speed of the target aircraft being 0.95 Mach as an example, when determining the target deflection angle of the elevator, the target aircraft can first be adjusted to a level flight attitude so that the target aircraft is in stable flight. The current deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin is 1 degree. Then, using the interpolation method, the second rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to a Mach number of 0.95 Mach is calculated as 1 / 2 + ((4 / 9 - 1 / 2) × (0.95 - 0.9)) / (1.05 - 0.9) = 13 / 27. The second rudder effectiveness ratio is used as the ratio of the second deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin to the elevator at equal rudder effectiveness (i.e., the ratio of the second deflection angles is determined to be 13 / 27). Then, calculate the ratio of the current deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin (i.e., 1 degree) to the second deflection angle ratio (i.e., 13 / 27), and the target deflection angle of the elevator is obtained as 2.077 degrees.
[0070] In this way, the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin or the target deflection angle of the elevator can be determined when the target aircraft is in a level flight attitude, making the subsequent switching between elevator control and all-moving tail fin control of the target aircraft more stable and ensuring the flight safety of the target aircraft.
[0071] S104. Control the target aircraft to switch between elevator control and all-moving tail fin control according to the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin or the target deflection angle of the elevator.
[0072] Exemplarily, after obtaining the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin, the target aircraft can be controlled to switch from elevator control to all-moving tail fin control, rotate the elevator back to the zero position, and rotate the all-moving tail fin to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin; after obtaining the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, the target aircraft can be controlled to switch from all-moving tail fin control to elevator control, rotate the all-moving tail fin back to the zero position, and rotate the elevator to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, thus completing the switching of the control surfaces of the target UAV.
[0073] In some possible implementation manners, when controlling the target aircraft to switch between elevator control and all-moving tail fin control according to the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin or the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, both the elevator and the all-moving tail fin rotate at a constant speed. This can reduce the safety risk of the target aircraft as much as possible when the control surfaces are switched.
[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, by obtaining the critical Mach number, the first Mach number range, and the second Mach number range of the target aircraft, and obtaining the target rudder effectiveness ratio between the elevator and the all-moving tail fin within the preset Mach number range, when the speed of the target aircraft is within the first Mach number range and in the elevator control state, the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin is determined based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio; when the speed of the target aircraft is within the second Mach number range and in the all-moving tail fin control state, the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator is determined based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio; and according to the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin or the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, the target aircraft is controlled to switch between elevator control and all-moving tail fin control, so that the target aircraft can be stably switched from elevator control to all-moving tail fin control at subsonic speed and can be stably switched from all-moving tail fin control to elevator control at transonic speed, solving the problems of reduced control accuracy of the all-moving tail fin at subsonic speed or insufficient maneuverability of the elevator at transonic speed in the prior art, and improving the flight control performance of the aircraft.
[0075] In some possible implementation manners, when switching from elevator control to all-moving tail fin control, the time taken for the all-moving tail fin to rotate to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail fin is less than the time taken for the elevator to rotate back to the zero position; when switching from all-moving tail fin control to elevator control, the time taken for the elevator to rotate to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator is less than the time taken for the all-moving tail fin to rotate back to the zero position.
[0076] It should be noted that considering that the elevator and the all-moving tail fin are deflected and adjusted simultaneously, the rudder effectiveness of the elevator will be weakened when the all-moving tail fin is deflected. Therefore, making the time taken for the all-moving tail fin to rotate to the expected position less than the time taken for the elevator to rotate back to the zero position can reduce the weakening of the rudder effectiveness of the elevator; making the time taken for the elevator to rotate to the expected position less than the time taken for the all-moving tail fin to rotate back to the zero position can reduce the weakening of the rudder effectiveness of the elevator.
[0077] In some embodiments, the method may further include: When switching from elevator control to full - moving tail - wing control, determine the first target deflection rate of the full - moving tail - wing according to the first preset deflection rate of the elevator, the current elevator deflection angle, and the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle; rotate the elevator back to the zero position at the first preset deflection rate, and rotate the full - moving tail - wing to the position corresponding to the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle at the first target deflection rate.
[0078] When switching from elevator control to full - moving tail - wing control, determine the second target deflection rate of the elevator according to the second preset deflection rate of the full - moving tail - wing, the current full - moving tail - wing deflection angle, and the elevator target deflection angle; rotate the full - moving tail - wing back to the zero position at the second preset deflection rate, and rotate the elevator to the position corresponding to the elevator target deflection angle at the second target deflection rate.
[0079] Exemplarily, first calculate the ratio of the current elevator deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate, and then calculate the ratio of the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle to this ratio to obtain the first target deflection rate.
[0080] For example, taking the current elevator deflection angle as 1 degree, the first preset deflection rate as 1 degree / second, and the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle as 0.5 degree as an example, calculate the ratio of the current elevator deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate as 1 / 1 = 1 second, and calculate the ratio of the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle to this ratio as 0.5 / 1 = 0.5 degree / second, which is the first target deflection rate.
[0081] Exemplarily, first calculate the ratio of the current full - moving tail - wing deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate, and then calculate the ratio of the elevator target deflection angle to this ratio to obtain the second target deflection rate.
[0082] For example, taking the current full - moving tail - wing deflection angle as 1 degree, the second preset deflection rate as 1 degree / second, and the elevator target deflection angle as 2.077 degrees as an example, calculate the ratio of the current full - moving tail - wing deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate as 1 / 1 = 1 second, and calculate the ratio of the elevator target deflection angle to this ratio as 2.077 / 1 = 2.077 degrees / second, which is the second target deflection rate.
[0083] In this way, the synchronization of the elevator and the full - moving tail - wing can be accurately achieved to reach the expected position.
[0084] Further, determining the first target deflection rate of the full - moving tail - wing according to the first preset deflection rate of the elevator, the current elevator deflection angle, and the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle includes: Determine the first target deflection rate according to the first preset deflection rate, the current elevator deflection angle, the first preset adjustment coefficient, and the full - moving tail - wing target deflection angle.
[0085] Determining the second target deflection rate of the elevator based on the second preset deflection rate of the fully movable tail fin, the current rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin, and the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator includes: Determine the second target deflection rate according to the second preset deflection rate, the current rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin, the second preset adjustment coefficient, and the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator.
[0086] Exemplarily, the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient may be the same or different, and there is no limitation on this.
[0087] It should be noted that considering that the elevator and the fully movable tail fin are deflected and adjusted simultaneously, the deflection of the fully movable tail fin will weaken the rudder effect of the elevator. Therefore, setting the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient can increase the deflection rate of the fully movable tail fin when switching from elevator control to fully movable tail fin control, and increase the deflection rate of the elevator when switching from fully movable tail fin control to elevator control, thereby reducing the weakening of the rudder effect of the elevator.
[0088] Exemplarily, the ratio of the current rudder deflection angle of the elevator to the first preset deflection rate can be calculated first, then the product of the ratio and the first preset adjustment coefficient can be calculated, and then the ratio of the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin to the product can be calculated to obtain the first target deflection rate.
[0089] For example, taking the current rudder deflection angle of the elevator as 1 degree, the first preset deflection rate as 1 degree / second, the first preset adjustment coefficient as 0.9, and the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin as 0.5 degree as an example, the ratio of the current rudder deflection angle of the elevator to the first preset deflection rate can be calculated as 1 / 1 = 1 second, then the product of the ratio and the first preset adjustment coefficient can be calculated as 1×0.9 = 0.9 second, and then the ratio of the target rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin to the product can be calculated as 0.5 / 0.9 = 0.556 degree / second, which is the first target deflection rate.
[0090] Exemplarily, the ratio of the current rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin to the second preset deflection rate can be calculated first, then the product of the ratio and the second preset adjustment coefficient can be calculated, and then the ratio of the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator to the product can be calculated to obtain the second target deflection rate.
[0091] For example, taking the current rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin as 1 degree, the second preset deflection rate as 1 degree / second, the second preset adjustment coefficient as 0.9, and the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator as 2.077 degrees as an example, the ratio of the current rudder deflection angle of the fully movable tail fin to the second preset deflection rate can be calculated as 1 / 1 = 1 second, then the product of the ratio and the second preset adjustment coefficient can be calculated as 1×0.9 = 0.9 second, and then the ratio of the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator to the product can be calculated as 2.077 / 0.9 = 2.308 degree / second, which is the second target deflection rate.
[0092] In this way, by setting the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient, the deflection rate of the all-moving tail fin can be increased when the control surface switches from the elevator to the all-moving tail fin, and the deflection rate of the elevator can be increased when the control surface switches from the all-moving tail fin to the elevator, reducing the weakening of the elevator effectiveness when the all-moving tail fin deflects.
[0093] In some possible implementation manners, obtaining the critical Mach number, the first Mach number interval, and the second Mach number interval of the target aircraft includes: Based on numerical simulation, obtain the lift-Mach number curve, drag-Mach number curve, and pitch moment coefficient-Mach number curve of the target aircraft; respectively obtain multiple sub-critical Mach numbers, multiple first Mach number sub-intervals, and multiple second Mach number sub-intervals based on the slopes of the respective curves; take the minimum value among the multiple sub-critical Mach numbers as the critical Mach number of the target aircraft; determine the first Mach number interval based on the union of the multiple first Mach number sub-intervals and the critical Mach number; determine the second Mach number interval based on the union of the multiple second Mach number sub-intervals and the critical Mach number.
[0094] Exemplarily, the numerical simulation can be a CFD simulation.
[0095] Exemplarily, the aerodynamic coefficients of the target aircraft can include lift coefficient, drag coefficient, pitch moment coefficient, yaw moment coefficient, roll moment coefficient, etc., which can be calculated based on the reference length, reference area, and reference center of gravity position of the target aircraft. The calculation method is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here. The relationship curve between the aerodynamic coefficients of the target aircraft and the Mach number can be calculated through CFD simulation. The calculation method is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here either.
[0096] Exemplarily, the intersection of the union of the multiple first Mach number sub-intervals and the Mach number range less than or equal to the critical Mach number can be determined as the first Mach number interval; the intersection of the union of the multiple second Mach number sub-intervals and the Mach number range greater than the critical Mach number can be determined as the second Mach number interval.
[0097] In this way, the critical Mach number, the first Mach number interval, and the second Mach number interval can be accurately determined.
[0098] In some possible embodiments, after obtaining the target effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tail fin of the target aircraft within the preset Mach number range, the method further includes: Using the elevator as the control surface, within the range where the Mach number is less than the critical Mach number, the flight quality of the target aircraft is evaluated to obtain the first flight quality evaluation result; using the full-moving tailplane as the control surface, within the range where the Mach number is greater than the critical Mach number, the flight quality of the target aircraft is evaluated to obtain the second flight quality evaluation result; it is determined that both the first flight quality evaluation result and the second flight quality evaluation result meet the flight quality requirements.
[0099] It can be understood that using the elevator as the control surface means that the target aircraft is under elevator control; using the full-moving tailplane as the control surface means that the target aircraft is under full-moving tailplane control.
[0100] Exemplarily, according to the design speed range of the target aircraft, multiple Mach numbers can be selected, and numerical simulation is carried out with the elevator or the full-moving tailplane as the control surface respectively to determine the calculation results of the short-period mode and the long-period mode of the target aircraft.
[0101] It should be noted that the calculation methods of the short-period mode and the long-period mode are well-known prior arts to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
[0102] When the Mach number of the target aircraft is less than the critical Mach number, the elevator is used as the control surface, the full-moving tailplane returns to its original position and is locked, and the elevator is used for force and moment trimming. The calculation results of the short-period mode and the long-period mode of the target aircraft are shown in Table 6 and Table 7 below.
[0103] Table 6 Short-period mode under elevator control
[0104] Table 7 Long-period mode under elevator control
[0105] When the Mach number of the target aircraft is greater than the critical Mach number, the full-moving tailplane is used as the control surface, the elevator returns to its original position and is locked, and the full-moving tailplane is used for force and moment trimming. The calculation results of the short-period mode and the long-period mode of the target aircraft are shown in Table 8 and Table 9 below.
[0106] Table 8 Short-period mode under full-moving tailplane control
[0107] Table 9 Long-period mode under full-moving tailplane control
[0108] As can be seen from the above, when the elevator and the all-moving tailplane of the target aircraft are integrated on the same tailplane, within the designed speed range, the short-period mode flight quality level is above level 2, and the long-period mode flight quality level is above level 1, indicating that the target aircraft can meet the flight quality requirements.
[0109] In this embodiment, by separately evaluating the flight quality of the elevator and the all-moving tailplane, it is determined that the target aircraft meets the flight quality requirements, which can ensure the accuracy of subsequent calculations.
[0110] Simulation Verification 1 When the current speed of the target aircraft is in the first Mach number range (taking 0.8 - 0.9 as an example) and the current control surface is the elevator, the control surface needs to be switched from the elevator to the all-moving tailplane. First, keep the target aircraft in a level flight attitude at the current speed and fly stably (i.e., the speed, altitude, and pitch angle curves no longer fluctuate). According to the current elevator deflection angle of 1.3 degrees, the target control effectiveness ratio is as shown in Table 6. The current speed of the target aircraft is 0.87 Mach, and the current angle of attack of the target aircraft is 2.2 degrees. It can be determined that the target deflection angle of the all-moving tailplane is 1.3×1 / 2 = 0.65 degrees; the first preset deflection rate is 1.5 degrees / second, and the first preset adjustment coefficient is 0.9. Rotate the elevator back to the zero position at the first preset deflection rate, and rotate the all-moving tailplane to the position corresponding to the target deflection angle of the all-moving tailplane at the first target deflection rate.
[0111] During the control surface switching process, the changes of the pitch angle, angle of attack, elevator deflection angle, and all-moving tailplane deflection angle of the target aircraft with time are respectively as Figures 2 to 5 shown. The unit of the vertical axis is degrees, and the unit of the horizontal axis is milliseconds.
[0112] Reference Figures 2 to 3 , it can be seen that during the process of switching the control surface from the elevator to the all-moving tailplane, the pitch angle and angle of attack of the target aircraft will fluctuate within a controllable range in the middle and early stages, and then the target aircraft can be in a stable level flight state.
[0113] Simulation Verification 2 When the current speed of the target aircraft is in the second Mach number range (taking 1.05 - 1.2 as an example) and the current control surface is the full - moving tail fin, the control surface needs to be switched from the full - moving tail fin to the elevator. First, keep the target aircraft in a level flight attitude at the current speed and fly stably (i.e., the curves of speed, altitude, and pitch angle no longer fluctuate). According to the current full - moving tail fin deflection angle of 1.5 degrees, the target rudder effectiveness ratio is as shown in Table 6, the current speed of the target aircraft is 1.1 Mach, and the current angle of attack of the target aircraft is 0.9 degrees. It can be determined that the target deflection angle of the elevator is 1.5 / (4 / 9) = 3.375 degrees; the second preset adjustment rate is 1.5 degrees / second, and the second preset adjustment coefficient is 0.9. The full - moving tail fin will be rotated back to the zero position at the second preset deflection rate, and the elevator will be rotated to the position corresponding to the target deflection angle of the elevator at the second target deflection rate.
[0114] During the control surface switching process, the changes of the pitch angle, angle of attack, full - moving tail fin deflection angle, and elevator deflection angle of the target aircraft with time are respectively as Figures 6 to 9 shown. The unit of the vertical axis is degrees, and the unit of the horizontal axis is milliseconds.
[0115] Refer to Figures 6 to 9 , it can be seen that during the process of switching the control surface from the full - moving tail fin to the elevator, the pitch angle and angle of attack of the target aircraft will have slight fluctuations within a controllable range, and then the target aircraft can be in a stable level flight state.
[0116] In summary, it can be seen that the integrated control method of the elevator and the full - moving tail fin of the present application can realize the mutual switching of the elevator and the full - moving tail fin on the basis of ensuring flight safety.
