Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flight control technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, computer equipment, and medium for stabilizing and controlling an aircraft during assisted landing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, large civil aircraft are generally equipped with mature automatic landing systems, which can achieve fully automatic landing under Category III instrument landing conditions. However, for small and medium-sized fixed-wing aircraft or fixed-wing UAVs, fully automatic landing systems are expensive and not standard equipment. The control law logic of traditional flight control systems has not been optimized for the landing phase. During the landing process, the landing operation is usually completed manually by the pilot. Pilots of these aircraft face a huge workload during the landing phase, especially when the weather conditions are unstable or the pilots are inexperienced.

[0003] Existing technologies lack a low-cost, seamless landing assistance system that can help pilots complete the entire process from descent to level off and intelligently switch control laws according to the flight phase. Summary of the Invention

Based on the elevator gain, an elevator return-to-center command is generated, and based on the automatic trim gain, an automatic trim command for the horizontal stabilizer is generated. The aircraft is then controlled by the elevator return-to-center command and the automatic trim command for the horizontal stabilizer until the aircraft exits the glide phase, and the glide phase control law is exited. If the aircraft enters the pull-up phase from the glide phase, the pull-up phase control law is activated. Based on the control stick displacement and nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement, elevator control commands are generated. Based on the pedal displacement signal and nonlinear gain of the pedal displacement, rudder control commands are generated.

If the aircraft is in the glide phase, the glide phase control law is activated. Based on the elevator gain, the glide phase control law generates an elevator return-to-center command and an automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command based on the automatic trim gain. The aircraft is then controlled by the elevator return-to-center command and the automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command until the aircraft exits the glide phase and the glide phase control law is terminated. The pull-up phase control module is used to activate the leveling-out phase control law when the aircraft enters the pull-up phase from the glide phase.

[0012] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them.

It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, a method for stabilizing and controlling an aircraft during landing is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step S101: Determine whether the aircraft is in the glide phase based on the aircraft's flight parameters. If it is in the glide phase, activate the glide phase control law. Based on the elevator gain, generate an elevator return-to-center command and an automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command based on the automatic trim gain. Control the aircraft with the elevator return-to-center command and the automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command until the aircraft exits the glide phase and exits the glide phase control law. Step S102: If the aircraft enters the pull-up phase from the glide phase, the pull-up phase control law is activated. Based on the control stick displacement and the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement, an elevator control command is generated. Based on the pedal displacement signal and the nonlinear gain of the pedal displacement, a rudder control command is generated. The aircraft is controlled by the elevator control command and the rudder control command until the aircraft touches down.

[0014] In specific implementation, the following steps are used to determine whether the aircraft is in the glide phase. If it is in the glide phase, the glide phase control law is activated. Based on the elevator gain, an elevator centering command is generated, and based on the automatic trim gain, a horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command is generated to control the aircraft. After the pilot pushes the control stick forward, the system acquires the flap angle, radio altitude, normal overload, elevator angle, and airspeed signals received by the aircraft. The normal overload rate of change is calculated using the normal overload signal. If the radio altitude is greater than a set altitude, the normal overload rate of change is less than a set rate of change, the elevator angle is greater than or equal to an angle threshold, and the airspeed signal does not trigger an overspeed warning, the glide phase control law is activated. Through the automatic trim function activated by the glide phase control law, an elevator return-to-center command is generated based on the elevator gain, and a horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command is generated based on the automatic trim gain. The aircraft is then controlled using the elevator return-to-center command and the horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command.

[0015] In specific implementation, the automatic trim function through the activated glide phase control law is achieved through the following steps: generating elevator centering command based on elevator gain, and generating horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command based on automatic trim gain: The system acquires the elevator angle and airspeed signals of the aircraft; generates an elevator centering command based on the elevator angle and elevator gain; generates an automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command based on the airspeed signal and automatic trim gain; sends the elevator centering command to the elevator control system, which then controls the elevator to center; and sends the automatic horizontal stabilizer trim command to the horizontal stabilizer control system, which then controls the horizontal stabilizer trim.

[0016] In specific implementation, the following steps are used to generate automatic trim commands for the horizontal stabilizer based on the airspeed signal and the automatic trim gain: The system continuously acquires the current airspeed signal from the aircraft's air data system or pitot tube, queries a pre-stored gain scheduling table based on the airspeed signal to obtain the automatic trim gain value corresponding to the current airspeed, and generates the horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command based on the automatic trim gain value.

[0017] In specific implementation, the following steps are used to activate the leveling-out phase control law: Based on the control stick displacement and its nonlinear gain, the leveling-out phase control law generates elevator control commands; based on the pedal displacement signal and its nonlinear gain, it generates rudder control commands. After entering the trim phase control law, the current trim position is locked, the automatic trim function is disconnected, and the aircraft is controlled via elevator control commands. Using the trim phase control law, the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement and the nonlinear gain of the accelerator pedal displacement are set based on stability margins. Specifically, the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement within the mechanical dead zone is greater than that outside the mechanical dead zone, and the nonlinear gain of the accelerator pedal displacement within the mechanical dead zone is greater than that outside the mechanical dead zone. The aircraft control system receives the accelerator pedal displacement and control stick displacement output by the pilot. Based on the control stick displacement and its nonlinear gain, elevator control commands are generated, and based on the accelerator pedal displacement signal and its nonlinear gain, rudder control commands are generated. The aircraft is operated using these elevator and rudder control commands.

[0018] In practice, the following steps are used to increase the lateral overload feedback gain in the control law, thereby improving directional static stability while reducing the Dutch rolling damping ratio: The flight control system acquires the lateral overload signal of the aircraft; based on the lateral overload signal and the lateral overload feedback gain, a rudder stabilization command is generated; the rudder stabilization command is sent to the rudder control system, which then controls the rudder movement.

[0019] In specific implementation, the following steps are used to generate elevator control commands based on the control stick displacement and its nonlinear gain, and to generate rudder control commands based on the pedal displacement signal and its nonlinear gain: The elevator amplitude is obtained by multiplying the control stick displacement by the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement, and an elevator command is generated based on the elevator amplitude. The sideslip angle and yaw rate of the aircraft are obtained. A first value is obtained by multiplying the accelerator pedal displacement signal by the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement. A sideslip correction gain is set, and a second value is obtained by multiplying the sideslip angle by the sideslip correction gain. A yaw rate gain is set, and a third value is obtained by multiplying the yaw rate by the yaw rate gain. The first value, the second value, and the third value are added together to obtain the rudder amplitude, and a rudder command is generated based on the rudder amplitude.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for stabilizing and controlling an aircraft during assisted landing includes the following steps: 1) After the aircraft has intercepted the glide path and the pilot pushes the control stick forward to control the elevator to make the aircraft pitch down, the aircraft receives flap angle, radio altitude, normal overload, elevator angle and airspeed signals to make a comprehensive judgment. When the elevator angle is greater than the activation threshold of 1°, the glide phase control law is activated. The glide phase control law is stopped when the radio altitude is less than 100m or the automatic trim conditions are not met.

[0021] Assisted landing is divided into a glide phase and a pull-up phase, such as... Figure 2 As shown. The main function of the glide phase is to safely maneuver the aircraft to the predetermined trajectory over the airport and establish and stabilize the aircraft's descent rate. The main function of the pull-up phase is to avoid abrupt changes in the rate of altitude change, reduce the aircraft's descent rate, and ensure that the aircraft eventually touches down at a suitable descent rate.

[0022] 2) Under the control law during the glide phase, automatic trim is used first to stabilize the aircraft on the glide path, maintaining a constant airspeed and a stable rate of descent; when the radio altitude approaches 100m, the aircraft smoothly transitions to the control law during the flare phase within 2 seconds.

[0023] After the pilot pushes the control stick forward to control the elevator and pitches the aircraft down, the aircraft receives signals from the flap angle, radio altitude, normal overload, elevator angle, and airspeed to make a comprehensive judgment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, automatic trim begins when the elevator angle is greater than the activation threshold of 1° and the corresponding conditions are met. Automatic trim stops when the radio altitude is less than 100m, the elevator angle is less than 1°, or the automatic trim conditions are not met. Once the automatic trim conditions are met, the horizontal stabilizer automatic trim command is executed to return the elevator to center, allowing the aircraft to maintain its attitude and stable descent rate even after the pilot releases the control stick. This also provides greater maneuverability to handle emergencies such as go-arounds, significantly reducing the pilot's control load.

[0024] 3) such as Figure 4 As shown, upon entering the trim phase control law, the current trim position is immediately locked, the automatic trim function is disengaged, and elevator control commands are switched to control the rate of descent. Under the trim phase control law, the pilot primarily relies on aircraft control. Within the allowable stability margin, the nonlinear gains of the elevator and rudder are set. That is, after the flight control computer receives the stick and rudder displacement signals, the elevator and rudder deflect in advance. Within the mechanical dead zone, the pilot begins to issue control commands to the longitudinal and directional channels, and the elevator and rudder begin to move according to the pilot's commands. Beyond the dead zone, the nonlinear gains of the stick and rudder are reduced, weakening the pilot's control commands and allowing for precise aircraft control. Simultaneously, in the directional channel, the lateral overload feedback gain in the control law is appropriately increased to improve directional static stability while reducing the Dutch rolling damping ratio.

[0025] Within the allowable stability margin, the nonlinear gains of the elevator and rudder are set. This means that after the flight control computer receives signals of stick and rudder displacement, the elevator and rudder deflect in advance. Within the mechanical dead zone, the pilot begins issuing control commands to the longitudinal and directional channels, and the elevator and rudder begin to move accordingly. Beyond the dead zone, the nonlinear gains of the stick and rudder are reduced to lessen the impact of pilot commands, allowing for more precise aircraft control. Simultaneously, in the directional channel, the lateral overload feedback gain in the control law is appropriately increased to improve directional static stability while reducing the Dutch rolling damping ratio.

[0026] In this embodiment, a computer device is provided, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes a memory 501, a processor 502, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor.

[0036] In one embodiment, the pull-up phase control module includes: Disconnect the automatic trim unit to lock the current trim position after entering the trim phase control law, disconnect the automatic trim function, and control the aircraft through elevator control commands. A nonlinear gain unit is set up to use the flattening stage control law to set the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement and the nonlinear gain of the pedal displacement based on the stability margin. The nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement within the mechanical dead zone is greater than the nonlinear gain of the control stick displacement outside the mechanical dead zone, and the nonlinear gain of the pedal displacement within the mechanical dead zone is greater than the nonlinear gain of the pedal displacement outside the mechanical dead zone.

To this end, an innovative phased landing assistance control law design method for fixed-wing aircraft is presented. During the descent phase, this method primarily relies on automatic trim to effectively reduce the pilot's control burden and ensure the stability of the aircraft's flight trajectory. During the leveling off phase, it automatically switches to a precision control mode to assist the pilot in smoothly reducing the descent rate and successfully completing the landing maneuver. This not only significantly improves the quality and safety of the landing process but also achieves higher operational efficiency and reliability by optimizing control logic and reducing human error.
