Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of aircraft technology, in particular to a method and device for modeling an aerodynamic model of a variable-wing aircraft. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing large-aspect-ratio aircraft is often used to perform long-haul tasks based on the advantage of the wing aspect ratio of the aircraft itself. However, due to the large wingspan, the aircraft is extremely susceptible to the troposphere and adverse weather, which may cause the aircraft to malfunction or even crash, especially during the take-off and landing stages of the aircraft. At the same time, due to the large wingspan of the large-aspect-ratio aircraft, higher requirements are placed on the airport runway, further limiting the portability of the large-aspect-ratio aircraft.

[0003] In order to improve the above problems, the prior art proposes a variable-wing aircraft. The variable-wing aircraft has three forms, namely a single-wing form with a large aspect ratio, a double-wing form with upper and lower wings, and a variable-wing form between the single-wing form and the double-wing form. The aircraft adopts the double-wing form during the take-off and landing stages, thereby reducing the wing span of the aircraft, enhancing the resistance to the troposphere and adverse weather, and reducing the width requirement of the airport runway. When the variable-wing aircraft is in the variable-wing form, how to reliably, safely and stably complete the switching between the single-wing form and the double-wing form is an important technical problem of the aircraft. Directly performing related experiments in the air may bring great safety hazards, so the variable-body simulation verification work must be performed in advance before the flight test during the design of the aircraft. Since the driving force of the variable body of the variable-wing aircraft is derived from the rudder surface of the deflected movable wing, the lift of the movable wing and the rolling aerodynamic moment change, how to obtain accurate aerodynamic force and aerodynamic moment during the variable body process of the variable-wing aircraft to perform motion simulation of the variable-wing aircraft becomes a problem to be solved.

[0053] It is to be understood that the terms first, second, third, etc. can be adopted herein only to differentiate among different information, which should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, the first information can also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information can also be referred to as the first information, without departing from the scope of the present application. Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted as meaning "when" or "upon determination" or "in response to a determination".

[0054] The method provided by the present application is applied to a variable wing aircraft, the structural diagram of which is shown in Figure 1 The variable wing aircraft includes an aircraft body composed of fixedly connected components, a movable wing, and a connecting rod connecting the aircraft body and the movable wing; the aircraft body includes a fixed wing, a fuselage, a wing platform, a ventral fin, and a delta "▽" tail.

[0055] The movable wing and the connecting rod are movably connected via a first hinge, and the connecting rod is movably connected to the aircraft body via a second hinge. The movable wing changes its wing shape, position, and attitude through the connecting rod, the first hinge, and the second hinge, thereby changing the configuration of the variable-wing aircraft. For example, different configurations of the variable-wing aircraft are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0056] Reliably, safely, and stably switching between monoplane and biplane configurations is a critical technical challenge for variable-wing aircraft. Conducting related experiments directly in the air poses significant safety risks; therefore, variant simulation verification must be performed before flight testing during the aircraft design process. Since the driving force for the variable-wing variant originates from the deflection of the control surfaces of the movable wing, causing changes in lift and roll aerodynamic torque, simulating the variable-wing aircraft and obtaining accurate aerodynamic forces and torques for the movable wing section are urgent problems to be solved.

[0057] The aerodynamic modeling method and apparatus for variable-wing aircraft provided in this application, after obtaining the operating state information of the variable-wing aircraft in the previous time period and the control surface deflection angle information in the current time period, can determine the full-aircraft aerodynamic model of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period based on the aerodynamic modeling equations constructed by the variable-wing aircraft, thereby completing the force analysis of the variable-wing aircraft under the current operating state information. Furthermore, the operating state information of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period can be determined based on the full-aircraft aerodynamic model of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period. In this way, aerodynamic modeling of the variable-wing aircraft in different time periods can be provided to calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments of the movable wing at different positions, realizing the force analysis of the variable-wing aircraft's transformation process.

[0058] The aerodynamic modeling method for variable-wing aircraft provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. See also Figure 3 The flowchart shown is a method for aerodynamic modeling of a variable-wing aircraft provided in an embodiment of this application, including the following steps:

[0059] S301, obtaining working state information of the variable wing aircraft in a previous time period and rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in a current time period; the working state information comprises first state information related to the aircraft body and second state information related to the movable wing and the connecting rod, and the second state information comprises revolution angle information representing an included angle between the connecting rod and the fixed wing of the aircraft body.

[0060] S302, determining a full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period by means of an aerodynamic modeling equation constructed for the variable wing aircraft based on the working state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period; wherein the aerodynamic modeling equation is used to characterize the influence of the revolution angle and the rudder deflection angle on the force of the variable wing aircraft.

[0061] S303, determining the working state information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period based on the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period.

[0062] The following is a detailed description of the above steps.

[0063] For S301,

[0064] The working state information can be used to represent the working state of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period. Optionally, the working state information can include first state information related to the aircraft body and second state information related to the movable wing and the connecting rod. The movable wing and the connecting rod can be referred to as variable parts.

[0065] The first state information may, for example, include displacement of the aircraft body along three coordinate axes, velocity along three coordinate axes, angle along three coordinate axes, angular velocity along three coordinate axes, and airspeed, angle of attack and sideslip angle of the aircraft body in the body coordinate system.

[0066] The second state information may, for example, include displacement of the movable wing along three coordinate axes, velocity along three coordinate axes, angle along three coordinate axes, angular velocity along three coordinate axes, and airspeed, angle of attack and sideslip angle of the movable wing in the body coordinate system, and include revolution angles on the left and right sides.

[0067] The revolution angle is the included angle between the connecting rod and the fixed wing of the aircraft body, as shown in the example. Figure 1

[0068] ​In a possible implementation, part of the information in the first state information (such as speed, displacement, angular velocity, etc.) can be detected by sensors deployed on the aircraft body, and part of the information in the second state information (such as speed, displacement, angular velocity, etc.) can be detected by sensors deployed on the left and right movable wings.

[0069] The rudder deflection angle information can be the rudder deflection angle expected by the controller of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period, and the rudder deflection angle information can include the deflection angles of a plurality of rudders, such as the first angle information for characterizing the rudder deflection angle of the movable wing, the second angle information for characterizing the rudder deflection angle of the right movable wing, and the rudder deflection angle information of the rudders of the aircraft body; the plurality of rudders are exemplarily as Figure 4 as shown, Figure 4 As shown, the right half of the variable-wing aircraft is shown, A and B rudders are the rudder of the flaps and ailerons on the fixed wings of the aircraft body, C, D, and E rudders are the rudders of the ailerons on the movable wings, F and G rudders are the rudders of the elevators on the aircraft body, and H rudder is the rudder of the rudder on the aircraft body. It should be noted that the rudder deflection angle information can include the deflection angles of the A and B rudders on the left and right fixed wings of the aircraft body, and the deflection angles of the C, D, and E rudders on the ailerons of the left and right movable wings.

[0070] For S302 and S303,

[0071] In a possible implementation, different components of the variable-wing aircraft can be modeled respectively, for example, the full-aircraft aerodynamic model can include a first sub-aerodynamic model corresponding to the aircraft body, a second sub-aerodynamic model corresponding to the movable wing, and a third sub-aerodynamic model corresponding to the connecting rod. The above aerodynamic model can be understood as a mathematical model, which will be described below.

[0072] Optionally, the aerodynamic modeling equation includes a first aerodynamic modeling equation constructed for the aircraft body, a second aerodynamic modeling equation constructed for the movable wing, and a third aerodynamic modeling equation constructed for the connecting rod.

[0073] Based on the working state information of the variable-wing aircraft in the previous time period and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period, the full-aircraft aerodynamic model of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period is determined by the aerodynamic modeling equation constructed for the variable-wing aircraft, which can be determined by the following steps:

[0074] Step a1, determining the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment of the aircraft body in the current time period based on the first state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, the revolution angle information and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period through the first aerodynamic modeling equation, to obtain the first sub-aerodynamic model;

[0075] Step a2, determining the second aerodynamic force and the second aerodynamic moment of the movable wing in the current time period based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period through the second aerodynamic modeling equation, to obtain the second sub-aerodynamic model;

[0076] Step a3, determining the third aerodynamic force of the connecting rod in the current time period based on the revolution angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period through the third aerodynamic modeling equation, to obtain the third sub-aerodynamic model;

[0077] Step a4, determining the target aerodynamic force of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period based on the first aerodynamic force, the second aerodynamic force and the third aerodynamic force, and determining the target aerodynamic moment of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period based on the first aerodynamic moment and the second aerodynamic moment.

[0078] Step a5, obtaining the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period based on the target aerodynamic force and the target aerodynamic moment of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period.

[0079] Wherein, the execution of steps a1-a3 is not in order. The aerodynamic modeling equation describes the process of how to calculate the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment. The aerodynamic modeling equation can include multiple equations. The process of substituting independent variables (i.e. working state information and rudder deflection angle information) into the aerodynamic modeling equation to calculate the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment can be understood as the process of constructing the aerodynamic model. After the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment are calculated, it can be considered that the aerodynamic model is constructed.

[0080] Optionally, in step a1, when determining the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment of the aircraft body in the current time period based on the first state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, the revolution angle information and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period through the first aerodynamic modeling equation, the first state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, the revolution angle information and the rudder deflection angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period can be substituted into the first aerodynamic modeling equation to perform the following operations:

[0081] determine a first aerodynamic coefficient of the aircraft body based on the first aerodynamic derivative, the orbit angle information and the rudder deflection angle information; determine the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment based on the first aerodynamic coefficient.

[0082] The first aerodynamic coefficient includes a lift coefficient, a drag coefficient, a side force coefficient, a rolling aerodynamic moment coefficient, a pitching aerodynamic moment coefficient and a yawing aerodynamic moment coefficient of the aircraft body. The first aerodynamic derivative is used to represent a mapping relationship between the first aerodynamic coefficient of the aircraft body and the orbit angle information and the rudder deflection angle information. Optionally, the first aerodynamic derivative of the aircraft body can be calculated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

[0083] For example, the first aerodynamic modeling equation can be used to calculate the first aerodynamic coefficient of the aircraft body by the following formula (1):

[0084]

[0085] wherein C D_fix , C L_fix , C Y_fix , C l_fix , C m_fix and C n_fix are the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient, the side force coefficient, the rolling aerodynamic moment coefficient, the pitching aerodynamic moment coefficient and the yawing aerodynamic moment coefficient of the aircraft body, i.e. the first aerodynamic coefficient; θ revo_R and θ revo_L are the orbit angles of the left and right movable wings; δ fix and δ fix are the angle of attack increment and the sideslip angle increment of the aircraft body; δ R , δ R represent the deflection angles of the A and B rudders of the right fixed wing of the aircraft body, δ L and δ L represent the deflection angles of the A and B rudders of the left fixed wing of the aircraft body, δ R represents the deflection angle of the elevator F rudder of the aircraft body, δ L represents the deflection angle of the right G rudder of the elevator of the aircraft body, δ R represents the deflection angle of the left G rudder of the elevator of the aircraft body, δ L represents the deflection angle of the right H rudder of the aircraft body, δ fix represents the deflection angle of the left H rudder of the aircraft body, δ fix, δr fix respectively represent the roll angle velocity increment, the pitch angle velocity increment and the yaw angle velocity increment of the aircraft body.

[0086] In the above formula, θ revo_R and θ revo_L are contained in the revolution angle information, δa fix , δβ fix , δp fix , δq fix , δr fix are contained in the first state information, δa R , δb R , δa L , δb L , δf, δg R , δg L , δh R , δh L are contained in the rudder deflection angle information, and the 16 parameters constitute the independent variables of the first aerodynamic coefficient calculation formula.

[0087] In the above formula, the 6*16 matrix is the first aerodynamic derivative, which represents the mapping relationship between each independent variable and the first aerodynamic coefficient on the left side of the equal sign. When calculating, the value of C D_fix , which is shown in the following formula:

[0088] C D_fix = C Drevo_R * θ revo_R + C Drevo_L * θ revo_L + C Dα * δa fix + C Dβ * δβ fix +... + C Dr * δr fix

[0089] The value of each C represents a mapping relationship, for example, C Drevo_R represents the mapping relationship between θ revo_R and C D_fix , which reflects the influence of θ revo_R on C Drevo_R , C Dα represents the mapping relationship between δa fix and C D_fix , which reflects the influence of δa fix on C Drevo_R . Similarly, each value in the 6*16 matrix in the above formula represents a mapping relationship.

[0090] It should be noted that the δ sign in the above formula represents an increment. Although the first state information includes angle of attack, sideslip angle, roll rate, pitch rate, and yaw rate, these values ​​are represented here as increments, such as δα. fix The value of δα is the angle of attack value in the first state information minus zero. fix The value of is the same as the value of the angle of attack in the first state information. The increments of the sideslip angle, roll rate, pitch rate and yaw rate are also represented in the same way.

[0091] In the above formula, the revolution angle (i.e., θ) of the left and right movable wings revo_R and θ revo_L The values ​​are not represented as increments, but rather as baseline values. This is because during the variable-wing process, each revolution and rotation angle corresponds to a completely new aircraft configuration (e.g., the overall aerodynamic layout differs significantly depending on the position of the movable wing). By setting baseline values ​​(which can be understood as the aerodynamic parameter baseline for a specific configuration), the complex aerodynamic characteristics description of the entire configuration range can be transformed into a "baseline value + increment" form, avoiding independent and complete modeling for each configuration and significantly reducing computational complexity.

[0092] Furthermore, once the baseline values ​​are determined, the influence of parameters such as angle of attack, sideslip angle, control surface deflection angle, and angular velocity on the aerodynamic coefficients can be calculated separately in an incremental manner (e.g., angle of attack increment, sideslip angle increment, etc.). This method can clearly distinguish the contribution of different parameters to aerodynamic forces and aerodynamic moments, facilitating the accurate quantification of aerodynamic effects when a single parameter or multiple parameters are coupled, and improving the analytical accuracy of the model.

[0093] Furthermore, during the wing-changing process, the position (revolution angle and rotation angle) of the movable wing continuously changes, and the aerodynamic characteristics change dynamically accordingly. The baseline value provides a reference point for each instantaneous configuration. Combined with the real-time changing incremental parameters, the aerodynamic coefficients at the corresponding moment can be quickly calculated, meeting the real-time and continuous simulation requirements during the wing-changing process and ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the simulation.

[0094] In one possible implementation, when determining the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic torque based on the first aerodynamic coefficient, the calculation can be performed using the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] In the above formula, ρ represents air density, V represents the airspeed of the aircraft, and S... aircraft ρ and S represent the projected area of ​​the aircraft. aircraft All can be considered as known values, and V is a parameter in the first state information. These represent aerodynamic coefficients, including lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and side force coefficient. denote aerodynamic moment coefficients, including rolling, pitching and yawing aerodynamic moment coefficients. The first aerodynamic coefficients calculated by equation (1) are substituted into equation (2) to obtain the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment.

[0097] The first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment can be described by the following equations:

[0098]

[0099] wherein, denotes the first aerodynamic force, denotes the first aerodynamic moment, L fix , D fix , Y fix denote the lift, drag and side force of the aircraft body, l fix , m fix , n fix denote the rolling, pitching and yawing aerodynamic moments of the aircraft body.

[0100] Optionally, in step a2, the variable-wing aircraft comprises left and right movable wings, and thus the calculation of the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment of the left and right movable wings can be separated.

[0101] Specifically, the rudder deflection angle information of the variable-wing aircraft in the current time period includes first angle information for representing the rudder deflection angle of the left movable wing in the current time period and second angle information for representing the rudder deflection angle of the right movable wing in the current time period; the revolution angle information includes a first revolution angle on the left side and a second revolution angle on the right side; the second aerodynamic force of the movable wing in the current time period includes a first sub-aerodynamic force of the left movable wing in the current time period and a second sub-aerodynamic force of the right movable wing in the current time period, and the second aerodynamic moment of the movable wing in the current time period includes a first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period and a second sub-aerodynamic moment of the right movable wing in the current time period; the second sub-aerodynamic model includes a left movable wing aerodynamic model and a right movable wing aerodynamic model; and the second aerodynamic modeling equation includes a left wing modeling equation corresponding to the left movable wing and a right wing modeling equation corresponding to the right movable wing.

[0102] In the process of determining the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period through the left wing modeling equation based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information, the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information can be substituted into the left wing modeling equation to determine the second aerodynamic derivative of the movable wing based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, and then determine the second aerodynamic coefficient of the left movable wing based on the second aerodynamic derivative, the first revolution angle in the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information, and finally determine the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period based on the second aerodynamic coefficient.

[0103] In the process of determining the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period through the left wing modeling equation based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information, and in the process of determining the second sub-aerodynamic force and the second sub-aerodynamic moment of the right movable wing in the current time period through the right wing modeling equation based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the second angle information, the processes are similar to the process of determining the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period.

[0104] For example, in the process of determining the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period through the left wing modeling equation based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information, the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information can be substituted into the left wing modeling equation to determine the second aerodynamic derivative of the movable wing based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, and then determine the second aerodynamic coefficient of the left movable wing based on the second aerodynamic derivative, the first revolution angle in the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period and the first angle information, and finally determine the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing in the current time period based on the second aerodynamic coefficient.

[0105] For example, the left wing modeling equation can be used to calculate the second aerodynamic coefficient through the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] wherein C D_mov_L , C L_mov_L , C Y_mov_L , C l_mov_L , C m_mov_L and C n_mov_L are the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient, the side force coefficient, the roll aerodynamic moment coefficient, the pitch aerodynamic moment coefficient and the yaw aerodynamic moment coefficient of the left movable wing respectively; δα mov_L and δβ mov_L are the angle of attack increment and the sideslip angle increment of the left movable wing respectively; δc L , δd L , δe L represent the deflection angles of the C, D, E control surfaces of the left movable wing respectively, δp mov_L , δq mov_L , δr mov_L represent the roll angular velocity increment, the pitch angular velocity increment and the yaw angular velocity increment of the left movable wing respectively. The 9*6 matrix above is a mapping matrix, each item of which has similar meaning to each item of the 6*16 mapping matrix in the above formula (1), such as C Drevo represents the mapping relationship between θ revo_L and C D_mov_L , C Dα represents the mapping relationship between δα mov_L and C D_mov_L , and the rest are similar, which will not be repeated here.

[0108] After the second aerodynamic coefficients are calculated based on the above formula, the calculated second aerodynamic coefficients can be substituted into the above formula (2), so that the first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment can be obtained.

[0109] The first sub-aerodynamic force and the first sub-aerodynamic moment can be represented as follows:

[0110]

[0111] wherein, represents the first sub-aerodynamic force, L mov_L , D mov_L , Y mov_L represent the lift, the drag and the side force of the left movable wing, represents the first sub-aerodynamic moment, l mov_L , m mov_L , n mov_L represent the roll aerodynamic moment, the pitch aerodynamic moment and the yaw aerodynamic moment of the left movable wing.

[0112] When determining the second sub-aerodynamic force and the second sub-aerodynamic moment of the right movable wing in the current time period based on the second state information and the second angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period using the right wing modeling equation, the second state information and the second angle information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period can be substituted into the right wing modeling equation, and the following operations can be performed: based on the second state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period, the third aerodynamic derivative of the movable wing is determined; then based on the third aerodynamic derivative, the second revolution angle and the second angle information in the second state information, the third aerodynamic coefficient of the right movable wing is determined; and then based on the third aerodynamic coefficient, the second sub-aerodynamic force and the second sub-aerodynamic moment of the right movable wing in the current time period are determined.

[0113] For example, the third aerodynamic coefficient can be calculated using the following formula in the modeling equations for the right wing:

[0114]

[0115] Among them, C D_mov_R C L_mov_R C Y_mov_R C l_mov_R C m_mov_R With C n_mov_R These are the lift coefficient, drag coefficient, side force coefficient, roll aerodynamic moment coefficient, pitch aerodynamic moment coefficient, and yaw aerodynamic moment coefficient of the right movable wing, respectively; δα mov_R With δβ mov_R These represent the increments of angle of attack and sideslip angle for the right movable wing, respectively; δc R δd R δe R δp represents the deflection angles of the right movable wing control surfaces C, D, and E, respectively. mov_R δq mov_R δr mov_R These represent the increments of the roll angular velocity, pitch angular velocity, and yaw angular velocity of the right movable wing, respectively.

[0116] After calculating the third aerodynamic coefficient based on the above formula, the calculated third aerodynamic coefficient can be substituted into the above formula (2) to obtain the second sub-aerodynamic force and the second sub-aerodynamic torque.

[0117] The second sub-aerodynamic force and the second sub-aerodynamic torque can be expressed as follows:

[0118]

[0119] in, L represents the second sub-aerodynamic force. mov_R D mov_R Y mov_Rdenote lift, drag and side force of the right movable wing, denote the second sub-aerodynamic moment, l mov_R , m mov_R , n mov_R denote roll, pitch and yaw aerodynamic moments of the right movable wing.

[0120] In the step a3, the connecting rod also needs to be modeled and analyzed respectively, and only the drag effect of the connecting rod can be considered.

[0121] The revolution angle information includes a first revolution angle of a left side and a second revolution angle of a right side; the third aerodynamic force of the connecting rod in the current time period includes a first drag of the left connecting rod in the current time period and a second drag of the right connecting rod in the current time period; in one possible implementation, when the third aerodynamic force of the connecting rod in the current time period is determined based on the revolution angle information through the third aerodynamic modeling equation, for any one of the first revolution angle and the second revolution angle, the revolution angle can be substituted into the third aerodynamic modeling equation to perform the following operations: determining a maximum drag coefficient of the connecting rod corresponding to the revolution angle based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD); determining a drag correction coefficient of the connecting rod after being shielded by the movable wing under the revolution angle; and determining the drag of the connecting rod corresponding to the revolution angle in the current time period based on the maximum drag coefficient and the drag correction coefficient.

[0122] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 illustrated, the connecting rod is completely buried in the lower surface of the movable wing when the variable wing aircraft is in a single wing mode, at which time the drag coefficient is considered to be 0, i.e., the connecting rod part does not provide additional drag; when the revolution angle is 90°, the connecting rod is completely exposed to the flow, at which time the drag coefficient is maximum. Therefore, the maximum drag coefficients of the left and right connecting rods completely exposed to the flow can be calculated through CFD, and are respectively defined as The correction coefficients of the left and right connecting rods shielded by the movable wing under different revolution angles are calculated through CFD and Then the drag coefficients are corrected through the correction coefficients. Wherein, θ represents the revolution angle, when θ = 0, it represents that the aircraft is in a single wing state, when θ = 90°, it represents that the aircraft is in a double wing state,

[0123] After the maximum drag coefficient is corrected based on the corrected drag coefficient, the drag coefficient of the connecting rod can be obtained, and then the drag of the connecting rod corresponding to the revolution angle can be determined based on the drag coefficient.

[0124] For example, the drag coefficient can be calculated through the following formula:

[0125]

[0126] wherein C D_rod_R represents the drag coefficient of the right connecting rod, C D_rod_L represents the drag coefficient of the left connecting rod.

[0127] After the drag coefficient of the connecting rod is calculated, it can be substituted into the above formula (2) to calculate the drag of the connecting rod.

[0128] The third aerodynamic force of the connecting rod can be represented as follows:

[0129] F rod_R = D rod_R Formula (13)

[0130] F rod_L = D rod_L Formula (14)

[0131] wherein F rod_R represents the third aerodynamic force of the right connecting rod, D rod_R represents the drag of the right connecting rod, F rod_L represents the third aerodynamic force of the left connecting rod, D rod_L represents the drag of the left connecting rod.

[0132] In step a4, after the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment, the second aerodynamic force and the second aerodynamic moment, and the third aerodynamic force are calculated, the sum of the first aerodynamic force, the second aerodynamic force and the third aerodynamic force is determined as the target aerodynamic force; the sum of the first aerodynamic moment and the second aerodynamic moment is determined as the target aerodynamic moment. Here, the target aerodynamic force can be understood as the aerodynamic force of the entire variable wing aircraft, and the target aerodynamic moment can be understood as the aerodynamic moment of the entire variable wing aircraft.

[0133] For example, it can be calculated by the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] wherein, represents the target aerodynamic force, represents the target aerodynamic moment.

[0136] In the above embodiment, after the target aerodynamic force and the target aerodynamic moment are calculated, it can be considered that the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft at the current time period is obtained; because the working state information and the rudder deflection angle information are different at different time periods, the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft at different time periods can be different.

[0137] It should be noted that before the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period is obtained, the state information involved in the above calculation process is the working state information of the variable wing aircraft in the previous time period.

[0138] In a possible implementation, after the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period is obtained, the working state information of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period can be determined based on the full machine aerodynamic model of the variable wing aircraft in the current time period.

[0139] For example, for the first aerodynamic force and the first aerodynamic moment of the current time period output by the aerodynamic model of the aircraft body, the displacement, velocity, angle, angular velocity and the like along the three coordinate axes in the body coordinate system of the body part in the current time period can be calculated through the multi-body dynamics model, and then the information output by the multi-body dynamics model is input to the data processing module, the data processing module calculates the angle of attack, the sideslip angle, the airspeed and the like of the aircraft body part in the current time period of the aircraft, so as to determine the first state information of the complete aircraft body in the current time period.

[0140] Similarly, for the second aerodynamic force, the second aerodynamic moment and the third aerodynamic force of the current time period output by the aerodynamic model of the aircraft variable part, they can be input to the multi-body dynamics model, and the multi-body dynamics model can output the displacement, velocity, angle, angular velocity and the like along the three coordinate axes in the body coordinate system of the variable part in the current time period, and then the information output by the multi-body dynamics model is input to the data processing module, and the output processing module can calculate the angle of attack, the displacement and the like of the variable part, so as to determine the second state information of the complete aircraft variable part.

[0141] The above method will be described briefly in combination with the overall framework of the variable wing aircraft.

[0142] Referring to Figure 6As shown, it is a schematic diagram of information flow in a variable wing aircraft provided by the present application, including a body flight controller of an aircraft body and a variant controller, the body flight controller is used to control the variable wing aircraft to fly according to the expected attitude, route, output control information such as throttle command, landing gear retraction command, rudder deflection command of the aircraft body, and the variant controller is used to control the variable wing aircraft to switch between the single wing mode and the double wing mode, output rudder deflection command of the movable wing. First, the variant aerodynamic model can obtain the second state information of the previous time period, the body aerodynamic model (included in the aerodynamic system) of the body flight controller can obtain the first state information of the previous time period, after calculation by the above method, the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment of the variant part and the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment of the aircraft body can be calculated. Then the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment of the body are calculated by the multi-body dynamics model 6DOF part to obtain the displacement, velocity, angle, angular velocity and other information along the three coordinate axes in the body coordinate system of the body part in the current time period (part of the information in the first state information), the aerodynamic force and the aerodynamic moment of the variant part are calculated by the multi-body dynamics model 4DOF part to obtain the displacement, velocity, angle, angular velocity and other information along the three coordinate axes in the movable wing body coordinate system of the variant part in the current time period (part of the information in the second state information), and the information such as the left and right revolution angle and the rotation angle obtained by the angle sensor. Then the information output by the multi-body dynamics model is input to the data processing module, the data processing module will calculate the angle of attack, sideslip angle, airspeed and other information of the aircraft body part and the angle of attack, sideslip angle, airspeed and other information of the movable wing part in the current period of the aircraft, while retaining all the information output by the multi-body dynamics model, the angle of attack, displacement and other information of the body part form the first state information, and the angle of attack, displacement and other information of the variant part form the second state information. The above first state information and second state information are re-input to the body flight controller and the variant controller respectively for calculation in the next time period, thereby forming the information flow closed loop of the simulation framework.
