[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of, rather than all of, the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0039] The following describes some technologies related to the embodiments of the application to help understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, a person of ordinary skill in the art should appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the application. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of some well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0040] A target aircraft is a special powered unmanned aircraft, which can participate in various verification tests as an air mobile target. A target aircraft capable of flying at more than one Mach and less than one Mach is called a transonic target aircraft.

[0041] The tail rudder of the existing transonic target aircraft is a single control surface. When the elevator is used as the control surface of the transonic target aircraft, when the flight speed is greater than the critical Mach number, the elevator efficiency decreases seriously, the longitudinal static stability increases, and the elevator cannot meet the requirements of the target maneuverability; when the all-moving tail rudder is used as the control surface of the transonic target aircraft, when the flight speed is less than the critical Mach number, the all-moving tail rudder has too large an efficiency, which reduces the flight control accuracy and increases the stress on the control surface structure.

[0042] Therefore, an elevator and all-moving tail rudder integrated control method is urgently needed to solve the problem of reduced control accuracy of the subsonic all-moving tail rudder or insufficient maneuverability of the transonic elevator.

[0043] In this background, the present disclosure provides an elevator and all-moving tail rudder integrated control method, which can improve the flight control performance of the transonic target aircraft.

[0044] The execution subject of the elevator and all-moving tailplane integrated control method 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 capability; or the execution subject of the method can also be a processor (for example, a central processing unit (CPU)) in the above-mentioned electronic devices; or the execution subject of the method can also be an application (APP) installed in the above-mentioned electronic devices and capable of realizing the function of the method; or the execution subject of the method can also be a functional module or unit with the function of the method in the above-mentioned electronic devices. The execution subject of the method is not limited here.

[0045] The elevator and all-moving tailplane integrated control method will be exemplarily described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the elevator and all-moving tailplane integrated control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Wherein, Figure 1 This is only one execution sequence shown by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not represent the only execution sequence of the elevator and all-moving tailplane integrated control method, and as long as the final result can be achieved, Figure 1 The steps shown can be executed in parallel or in reverse. As Figure 1 The method can include S101 to S104, as shown in the figure.

[0047] S101, obtaining a critical Mach number, a first Mach number interval and a second Mach number interval of a target aircraft.

[0048] The first Mach number interval is a Mach number interval less than or equal to the critical Mach number, and the second Mach number interval is a Mach number interval greater than the critical Mach number.

[0049] Exemplarily, the critical Mach number can be determined according to the own structure shape and flight performance of the target aircraft, and the critical Mach number belongs to the common knowledge in the field, which will not be described here.

[0050] The first Mach number interval and the second Mach number interval 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 the method is not limited.

[0051] S102, obtaining a target elevator effectiveness ratio of the elevator and all-moving tailplane of the target aircraft in a preset Mach number range.

[0052] The preset Mach number range includes the first Mach number interval and the second Mach number interval.

[0053] Exemplarily, a ratio of the elevator control effectiveness to the all-moving tail control effectiveness of the target aircraft in the preset Mach number range can be calculated to obtain a plurality of ratio results, and the plurality of ratio results are directly determined as the target control effectiveness ratio.

[0054] It can be understood that the elevator control effectiveness and the all-moving tail control effectiveness of the target aircraft in the preset Mach number range can be obtained in advance, and the control effectiveness can be obtained by numerical simulation (such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation calculation) combined with a control effectiveness calculation formula; the control effectiveness calculation method of the elevator and the all-moving tail of the aircraft is a calculation method known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described here.

[0055] In some possible implementation manners, the target control effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tail of the target aircraft in the preset Mach number range is obtained, including S201 to S203.

[0056] S201, determining, according to the elevator control effectiveness and the all-moving tail control effectiveness of the target aircraft, a ratio of the elevator control effectiveness to the all-moving tail control effectiveness of the target aircraft in the preset Mach number range under a plurality of Mach numbers as an initial control effectiveness ratio.

[0057] The elevator control effectiveness and the all-moving tail control effectiveness corresponding to the plurality of Mach numbers can be obtained under a certain angle of attack, and then the ratio of the elevator control effectiveness to the all-moving tail control effectiveness under the plurality of Mach numbers is taken as the initial control effectiveness ratio.

[0058] Although the influence of the angle of attack on the control effectiveness is small, the influence of this factor can not be considered in the calculation, and in a specific application scenario, the slight difference brought by this factor can also be considered to further improve the control accuracy.

[0059] For example, under a plurality of Mach numbers and a plurality of angles of attack, the elevator control effectiveness is shown in Table 1, and the all-moving tail control effectiveness is shown in Table 2. The ratio of the elevator control effectiveness to the all-moving tail control effectiveness under the same Mach number and the same angle of attack can be calculated, until all Mach numbers and all angles of attack are traversed, to obtain the initial control effectiveness ratio as shown in Table 3.

[0060] Table 1. Elevator control effectiveness

[0061]

[0062] Table 2. All-moving tail control effectiveness

[0063]

[0064] Table 3. Initial control effectiveness ratio

[0065]

[0066] S202, determine a first ratio result based on the initial effectiveness ratio.

[0067] For example, the initial effectiveness ratio can be directly determined as the first ratio result, or the initial effectiveness ratio can be processed in a certain value to obtain the first ratio result.

[0068] In some possible implementation manners, the first ratio result is determined based on the initial effectiveness ratio, including:

[0069] The initial effectiveness ratios corresponding to different angles of attack at each Mach number are obtained, and an average value of the initial effectiveness ratios corresponding to different angles of attack at the same Mach number is determined; the average value is taken as the effectiveness ratio corresponding to different angles of attack at the same Mach number, to obtain the first ratio result.

[0070] For example, continuing with the above example, the average value of the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tail effectiveness at Mach number 0.2 can be calculated according to Table 3, and the average value is taken as the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tail effectiveness at Mach number 0.2 (i.e., the effectiveness ratio); the same processing is performed on the ratio of the elevator effectiveness to the all-moving tail effectiveness at other Mach numbers, and the first ratio result shown in Table 4 can be obtained.

[0071] Table 4 First ratio result

[0072]

[0073] It can be understood that the first ratio result can also be directly determined as the target effectiveness ratio.

[0074] S203, the first ratio result corresponding to the first Mach number interval is increased by a first preset proportion, the first ratio result corresponding to the second Mach number interval is decreased by a second preset proportion, to obtain a second ratio result, and the second ratio result is taken as the target effectiveness ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tail.

[0075] For example, the first preset proportions corresponding to different Mach numbers can be the same or different, the first preset proportions corresponding to different Mach numbers can be the same or different, and the first preset proportion and the second preset proportion can be the same or different, which are not limited.

[0076] For example, the first preset proportions and the second preset proportions corresponding to different Mach numbers can be determined according to the actual situation of the target aircraft, and the sizes of the first preset proportion and the second preset proportion are not limited.

[0077] For example, the target effectiveness ratio (i.e., the second ratio result) obtained by increasing the first ratio result corresponding to the first Mach number interval by the first preset proportion and decreasing the first ratio result corresponding to the second Mach number interval by the second preset proportion is shown in Table 5.

[0078] Table 5 Target Rudder Efficiency Ratio

[0079]

[0080] Therefore, on the basis of the first ratio result, a certain margin is preset to obtain a second ratio result, and the second ratio result is taken as the target rudder efficiency ratio of the elevator and the all-moving tail, so as to ensure that the rudder efficiency of the elevator and the all-moving tail after switching is not less than the rudder efficiency before switching.

[0081] In S103, when the target aircraft speed is located in the first Mach number interval and in the elevator control state, the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle is determined based on the target rudder efficiency ratio; and when the target aircraft speed is located in the second Mach number interval and in the all-moving tail control state, the elevator target rudder deflection angle is determined based on the target rudder efficiency ratio.

[0082] For example, when the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle is determined, the corresponding rudder efficiency ratio can be determined from the target rudder efficiency ratio according to the current Mach number of the target aircraft, and then the product of the current elevator rudder deflection angle and the rudder efficiency ratio is calculated to obtain the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle; similarly, when the elevator target rudder deflection angle is determined, the corresponding rudder efficiency ratio can be determined from the target rudder efficiency ratio according to the current Mach number of the target aircraft, and then the ratio of the current all-moving tail rudder deflection angle and the rudder efficiency ratio is calculated to obtain the elevator target rudder deflection angle.

[0083] It can be understood that the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle is used for subsequent switching of the elevator control to the all-moving tail control based on the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle, and the elevator target rudder deflection angle is used for subsequent switching of the all-moving tail control to the elevator control based on the elevator target rudder deflection angle.

[0084] Specifically, when the target aircraft speed is located in the first Mach number interval and in the elevator control state, the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle is determined based on the target rudder efficiency ratio, including:

[0085] When the target aircraft speed is located in the first Mach number interval and in the elevator control state, the target aircraft is adjusted to a level flight attitude based on the switching instruction; a first rudder efficiency ratio corresponding to the current Mach number is determined based on the current Mach number and the target rudder efficiency ratio; a first rudder deflection angle ratio of the all-moving tail to the elevator at the same rudder efficiency is determined based on the first rudder efficiency ratio; and the all-moving tail target rudder deflection angle is determined based on the first rudder deflection angle ratio and the current elevator rudder deflection angle.

[0086] For example, taking the target aircraft's current speed as 0.85 Mach and the target rudder effectiveness ratio as Table 5, the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail is determined as follows. First, the target aircraft is adjusted to the level flight attitude so that the target aircraft is in stable flight, and the current elevator deflection angle is 1 degree. Then, the first rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to the Mach number of 0.85 Mach is calculated by interpolation as 1 / 2+((1 / 2-1 / 2)×(0.85-0.8)) / (0.9-0.8)=1 / 2. The first rudder effectiveness ratio is taken as the ratio of the first rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail to the elevator (i.e., the first rudder deflection angle ratio is determined as 1 / 2). Then, the product of the current elevator deflection angle (i.e., 1 degree) and the first rudder deflection angle ratio (i.e., 1 / 2) is calculated to obtain the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail as 0.5 degrees.

[0087] When the target aircraft's speed is in the second Mach number interval and the target aircraft is in the all-moving tail control state, the target elevator deflection angle is determined based on the target rudder effectiveness ratio, including:

[0088] When the target aircraft's speed is in the second Mach number interval and the target aircraft is in the all-moving tail control state, the target aircraft is adjusted to the level flight attitude based on the switching instruction. The second rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to the current Mach number is determined based on the current Mach number and the target rudder effectiveness ratio. The second rudder deflection angle ratio of the all-moving tail to the elevator in the equal rudder effectiveness is determined based on the second rudder effectiveness ratio. The target elevator deflection angle is determined based on the second rudder deflection angle ratio and the current all-moving tail deflection angle.

[0089] For example, taking the target aircraft's current speed as 0.95 Mach and the multiple target rudder effectiveness ratios as Table 5, the target elevator deflection angle is determined as follows. First, the target aircraft is adjusted to the level flight attitude so that the target aircraft is in stable flight, and the current all-moving tail deflection angle is 1 degree. Then, the second rudder effectiveness ratio corresponding to the Mach number of 0.95 Mach is calculated by interpolation as 1 / 2+((4 / 9-1 / 2)×(0.95-0.9)) / (1.05-0.9)=13 / 27. The second rudder effectiveness ratio is taken as the second rudder deflection angle ratio of the all-moving tail to the elevator (i.e., the second rudder deflection angle ratio is determined as 13 / 27). Then, the ratio of the current all-moving tail deflection angle (i.e., 1 degree) to the second rudder deflection angle ratio (i.e., 13 / 27) is calculated to obtain the target elevator deflection angle as 2.077 degrees.

[0090] In this way, the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail or the target elevator deflection angle can be determined when the target aircraft is in the level flight attitude, so that the target aircraft is more stable in the subsequent switching between the elevator control and the all-moving tail control, and the flight safety of the target aircraft is ensured.

[0091] S104, according to the target rudder deflection angle of the all-moving tail or the target elevator deflection angle, the target aircraft is controlled to switch between the elevator control and the all-moving tail control.

[0092] For example, after obtaining the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron, the target aircraft can be controlled to switch from the elevator control to the full-aileron control, the elevator is rotated back to the zero position, and the full-aileron is rotated to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron. After obtaining the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, the target aircraft can be controlled to switch from the full-aileron control to the elevator control, the full-aileron is rotated back to the zero position, and the elevator is rotated to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, thereby completing the switching of the control surface of the target unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0093] In some possible implementation manners, when the target aircraft is controlled to switch between the elevator control and the full-aileron control according to the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron or the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, the elevator and the full-aileron are rotated at a uniform speed. In this way, the safety risk of the target aircraft during the switching of the control surface can be reduced as much as possible.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, the critical Mach number, the first Mach number interval and the second Mach number interval of the target aircraft are obtained, the target rudder efficiency ratio of the elevator and the full-aileron of the target aircraft in a preset Mach number range is obtained, the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron is determined based on the target rudder efficiency ratio when the speed of the target aircraft is located in the first Mach number interval and the target aircraft is in the elevator control state, the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator is determined based on the target rudder efficiency ratio when the speed of the target aircraft is located in the second Mach number interval and the target aircraft is in the full-aileron control state, and the target aircraft is controlled to switch between the elevator control and the full-aileron control according to the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron or the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator, so that the target aircraft can be stably switched from the elevator control to the full-aileron control at subsonic speed and can be stably switched from the full-aileron control to the elevator control at transonic speed. The problem of reduced control accuracy of the full-aileron at subsonic speed or insufficient controllability of the elevator at transonic speed in the prior art is solved, and the flight control performance of the aircraft is improved.

[0095] In some possible implementation manners, when switching from the elevator control to the full-aileron control, the full-aileron is rotated to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the full-aileron for a time shorter than that of the elevator being rotated back to the zero position; and when switching from the full-aileron control to the elevator control, the elevator is rotated to the position corresponding to the target rudder deflection angle of the elevator for a time shorter than that of the full-aileron being rotated back to the zero position.

[0096] It should be noted that, considering that the elevator and the full-aileron are deflected and adjusted at the same time, the deflection of the full-aileron will weaken the rudder efficiency of the elevator. Therefore, the time for the full-aileron to rotate to the expected position is shorter than that for the elevator to rotate back to the zero position, so that the weakening of the rudder efficiency of the elevator can be reduced; and the time for the elevator to rotate to the expected position is shorter than that for the full-aileron to rotate back to the zero position, so that the weakening of the rudder efficiency of the elevator can be reduced.

[0097] In some embodiments, the method can further include:

[0098] When the control is switched from the elevator to the all-moving tail plane, a first target deflection rate of the all-moving tail plane is determined according to a first preset deflection rate of the elevator, a current elevator deflection angle and a target all-moving tail plane deflection angle; the elevator is rotated back to the zero position at the first preset deflection rate, and the all-moving tail plane is rotated to a position corresponding to the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle at the first target deflection rate.

[0099] When the control is switched from the all-moving tail plane to the elevator, a second target deflection rate of the elevator is determined according to a second preset deflection rate of the all-moving tail plane, a current all-moving tail plane deflection angle and a target elevator deflection angle; the all-moving tail plane is rotated back to the zero position at the second preset deflection rate, and the elevator is rotated to a position corresponding to the target elevator deflection angle at the second target deflection rate.

[0100] For example, the ratio of the current elevator deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate is calculated first, and then the ratio of the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle to the ratio is calculated to obtain the first target deflection rate.

[0101] For example, when the current elevator deflection angle is 1 degree, the first preset deflection rate is 1 degree per second, and the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle is 0.5 degree, the ratio of the current elevator deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate is 1 / 1=1 second, and the ratio of the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle to the ratio is 0.5 / 1=0.5 degree per second, which is the first target deflection rate.

[0102] For example, the ratio of the current all-moving tail plane deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate is calculated first, and then the ratio of the target elevator deflection angle to the ratio is calculated to obtain the second target deflection rate.

[0103] For example, when the current all-moving tail plane deflection angle is 1 degree, the second preset deflection rate is 1 degree per second, and the target elevator deflection angle is 2.077 degrees, the ratio of the current all-moving tail plane deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate is 1 / 1=1 second, and the ratio of the target elevator deflection angle to the ratio is 2.077 / 1=2.077 degrees per second, which is the second target deflection rate.

[0104] In this way, the elevator and the all-moving tail plane can be accurately synchronized to reach the desired position.

[0105] Further, the first target deflection rate of the all-moving tail plane is determined according to the first preset deflection rate of the elevator, the current elevator deflection angle and the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle, including:

[0106] The first target deflection rate is determined according to the first preset deflection rate, the current elevator deflection angle, a first preset adjustment coefficient and the target all-moving tail plane deflection angle.

[0107] According to the second preset deflection rate of the all-moving tail wing, the current all-moving tail wing rudder deflection angle and the elevator target rudder deflection angle, a second target deflection rate of the elevator is determined, comprising:

[0108] According to the second preset deflection rate, the current all-moving tail wing rudder deflection angle, the second preset adjustment coefficient and the elevator target rudder deflection angle, the second target deflection rate is determined.

[0109] Exemplarily, the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient can be the same or different, and no limitation is made thereto.

[0110] It should be noted that, considering that the elevator and the all-moving tail wing are deflected and adjusted at the same time, the all-moving tail wing will weaken the rudder effect of the elevator when deflected, therefore, by setting the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient, the deflection rate of the all-moving tail wing can be improved when switching from elevator control to all-moving tail wing control, and the deflection rate of the elevator can be improved when switching from all-moving tail wing control to elevator control, thereby reducing the weakening of the rudder effect of the elevator.

[0111] Exemplarily, the ratio of the current elevator rudder deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate can be calculated first, then the product of the ratio and the first preset adjustment coefficient is calculated, and then the ratio of the all-moving tail wing target rudder deflection angle to the product is calculated to obtain the first target deflection rate.

[0112] For example, taking the current elevator rudder deflection angle as 1 degree, the first preset deflection rate as 1 degree per second, the first preset adjustment coefficient as 0.9, and the all-moving tail wing target rudder deflection angle as 0.5 degrees, the ratio of the current elevator rudder deflection angle to the first preset deflection rate is 1 / 1=1 second, the product of the ratio and the first preset adjustment coefficient is 1x0.9=0.9 seconds, and the ratio of the all-moving tail wing target rudder deflection angle to the product is 0.5 / 0.9=0.556 degrees per second, which is the first target deflection rate.

[0113] Exemplarily, the ratio of the current all-moving tail wing rudder deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate can be calculated first, then the product of the ratio and the second preset adjustment coefficient is calculated, and then the ratio of the elevator target rudder deflection angle to the product is calculated to obtain the second target deflection rate.

[0114] For example, taking the current all-moving tail wing rudder deflection angle as 1 degree, the second preset deflection rate as 1 degree per second, the second preset adjustment coefficient as 0.9, and the elevator target rudder deflection angle as 2.077 degrees, the ratio of the current all-moving tail wing rudder deflection angle to the second preset deflection rate is 1 / 1=1 second, the product of the ratio and the second preset adjustment coefficient is 1x0.9=0.9 seconds, and the ratio of the elevator target rudder deflection angle to the product is 2.077 / 0.9=2.308 degrees per second, which is the second target deflection rate.

[0115] Therefore, by setting the first preset adjustment coefficient and the second preset adjustment coefficient, the deflection rate of the all-moving tail can be increased when the control surface is switched from the elevator to the all-moving tail, and the deflection rate of the elevator can be increased when the control surface is switched from the all-moving tail to the elevator, thereby reducing the weakening of the elevator efficiency when the all-moving tail is deflected.

[0116] In some possible embodiments, the critical Mach number, the first Mach number interval and the second Mach number interval of the target aircraft are obtained by:

[0117] The lift-Mach number curve, the drag-Mach number curve and the pitching moment coefficient-Mach number curve of the target aircraft are obtained based on numerical simulation; a plurality of sub-critical Mach numbers, a plurality of first Mach number sub-intervals and a plurality of second Mach number sub-intervals are obtained based on the slopes of the curves respectively; the minimum value of the plurality of sub-critical Mach numbers is taken as the critical Mach number of the target aircraft; the first Mach number interval is determined based on the union of the plurality of first Mach number sub-intervals and the critical Mach number; and the second Mach number interval is determined based on the union of the plurality of second Mach number sub-intervals and the critical Mach number.

[0118] Exemplarily, the numerical simulation can be a CFD simulation.

[0119] Exemplarily, the aerodynamic coefficients of the target aircraft can include lift coefficients, drag coefficients, pitching moment coefficients, yawing moment coefficients, rolling moment coefficients, etc., and can be calculated according to the reference length, the reference area and the reference center of gravity position of the target aircraft. The calculation method is a calculation method known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described here. The relationship curve between the aerodynamic coefficients of the target aircraft and the Mach number can be calculated by CFD simulation, and the calculation method is a calculation method known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described here.

[0120] Exemplarily, the union of the plurality of first Mach number sub-intervals and the intersection of the Mach number range less than or equal to the critical Mach number can be determined as the first Mach number interval; and the union of the plurality of second Mach number sub-intervals and the intersection of the Mach number range greater than the critical Mach number can be determined as the second Mach number interval.

[0121] Therefore, the critical Mach number, the first Mach number interval and the second Mach number interval can be accurately determined.

[0122] In some possible embodiments, after obtaining the target efficiency ratio of the elevator to the all-moving tail of the target aircraft in the preset Mach number range, the method further comprises:

[0123] The elevator is used as the control surface, flight quality evaluation is performed on the target aircraft in a range where the Mach number is less than the critical Mach number, and a first flight quality evaluation result is obtained; the all-moving tail is used as the control surface, flight quality evaluation is performed on the target aircraft in a range where the Mach number is greater than the critical Mach number, and a second flight quality evaluation result is obtained; and it is determined that the first flight quality evaluation result and the second flight quality evaluation result both satisfy the flight quality requirement.

[0124] It can be understood that the elevator is used as the control surface, i.e., the target aircraft is in elevator control; and the all-moving tail is used as the control surface, i.e., the target aircraft is in all-moving tail control.

[0125] Exemplarily, a plurality of Mach numbers can be selected according to the design speed range of the target aircraft, and numerical simulation is performed with the elevator or the all-moving tail as the control surface to determine the short-period mode and the long-period mode calculation results of the target aircraft.

[0126] It should be noted that the calculation methods of the short-period mode and the long-period mode are known to those skilled in the art and are not described herein.

[0127] When the Mach number of the target aircraft is less than the critical Mach number, the elevator is used as the control surface, the all-moving tail is returned to the original position and locked, force and moment trimming is performed by using the elevator, and the short-period mode and the long-period mode calculation results of the target aircraft are shown in Table 6 and Table 7.

[0128] Table 6 Short-period mode under elevator control

[0129]

[0130] Table 7 Long-period mode under elevator control

[0131]

[0132] When the Mach number of the target aircraft is greater than the critical Mach number, the all-moving tail is used as the control surface, the elevator is returned to the original position and locked, force and moment trimming is performed by using the all-moving tail, and the short-period mode and the long-period mode calculation results of the target aircraft are shown in Table 8 and Table 9.

[0133] Table 8 Short-period mode under all-moving tail control

[0134]

[0135] Table 9 Long-period mode under all-moving tail control

[0136]

[0137] It can be seen from the above that when the elevator and the all-moving tail are integrated in the same tail of the target aircraft, the short-period mode flight quality level is more than two levels and the long-period mode flight quality level is more than one level in the design speed range, which indicates that the target aircraft can meet the flight quality requirements.

[0138] The embodiment determines that the target aircraft meets the flight quality requirements by evaluating the flight qualities of the elevator and the all-moving tail respectively, and can ensure the accuracy of subsequent calculation.

[0139] Simulation verification 1

[0140] When the current speed of the target aircraft is in the first Mach number interval (for example, 0.8-0.9) and the current control surface is the elevator, the control surface needs to be switched from the elevator to the all-moving tail. First, the target aircraft is kept in a steady flight attitude at the current speed, and the flight is stabilized (i.e., the curves of speed, height, and pitch angle no longer fluctuate). According to the current elevator deflection angle of 1.3 degrees and the target control surface effectiveness 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, the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail can be determined as 1.3x1 / 2=0.65 degrees; the first preset deflection rate is 1.5 degrees per second, and the first preset adjustment coefficient is 0.9. The elevator is rotated back to zero position at the first preset deflection rate, and the all-moving tail is rotated to the position corresponding to the target deflection angle of the all-moving tail at the first target deflection rate.

[0141] The changes of the pitch angle, the angle of attack, the elevator deflection angle, and the all-moving tail deflection angle of the target aircraft with time during the control surface switching process are shown in FIGS. 1-4, respectively. The unit of the longitudinal axis is degree, and the unit of the horizontal axis is millisecond. Figures 2 to 5

[0142] 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 tail, the pitch angle and the angle of attack of the target aircraft in the early and middle stages will fluctuate within a controllable range, and then the target aircraft can be in a steady and level flight state.

[0143] Simulation verification 2

[0144] ​When the target aircraft's current speed is within the second Mach number range (using 1.05 to 1.2 as an example) and the current control surface is the full-stable tail, the control surface must be switched from the full-stable tail to the elevator. First, the target aircraft must maintain a level flight attitude at the current speed and achieve stable flight (i.e., the speed, altitude, and pitch angle curves no longer fluctuate). Based on the current full-stable tail rudder angle of 1.5 degrees and the target rudder effectiveness shown in Table 6, the target aircraft's current speed is Mach 1.1 and the current angle of attack is 0.9 degrees. The target elevator rudder angle can be determined to be 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-stable tail is rotated back to zero at the second preset deflection rate, and the elevator is rotated at the second target deflection rate to the position corresponding to the target elevator rudder angle.

[0145] During the control surface switching process, the target aircraft's pitch angle, angle of attack, all-moving tail rudder deflection angle, and elevator rudder deflection angle change with time as shown below: Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the vertical axis unit is degree, and the horizontal axis unit is millisecond.

[0146] refer to Figures 6 to 9 ,It can be seen that in the process of switching the control surface from the full-moving tail to the elevator, the pitch angle and angle of attack of the target aircraft will fluctuate slightly within the controllable range, and then the target aircraft can be in a stable level flight state.

[0147] In summary, it can be seen that the elevator and full-movable tail integrated control method of the present application can realize the mutual switching of the elevator and the full-movable tail while ensuring flight safety.
