[0093] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0094] The first aspect of this application provides a method for optimizing the horizontal stabilizer area based on takeoff control capability requirements, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes:

[0095] Step S1: Based on the model used to ensure the safety of aircraft takeoff, determine the minimum horizontal stabilizer area corresponding to the initial value of the forward center of gravity position, and the initial iterative horizontal stabilizer area corresponding to the current value of the center of gravity position.

[0096] Step S2: Calculate the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel based on the initial iterative horizontal tail area;

[0097] Step S3: When the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel is greater than zero, the initial iterative horizontal tail area is reduced by a set ratio until the new pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel is less than zero.

[0098] Step S4: Based on the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel when it is less than zero and the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel in the previous iteration, interpolate the new horizontal tail area as the final horizontal tail area.

[0099] To ensure operational safety and eliminate the influence of speed on pitch control performance, based on design standards, the nose wheel lift-off speed of the model is taken as the stall speed of the aircraft in takeoff configuration. The calculation method consists of the following three parts.

[0100] First, calculate the flat tail area through step S1.

[0101] Second, calculate the front wheel pitching moment coefficient through step S2;

[0102] Third, in steps S3 and S4, adjust the horizontal stabilizer area according to the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel.

[0103] In step S1, the horizontal stabilizer's controllability primarily depends on the ratio of the horizontal stabilizer area to the wing reference area, the ratio of the horizontal stabilizer tail arm length to the wing mean aerodynamic chord length, the horizontal stabilizer lift line slope, and the horizontal stabilizer stall angle of attack. Once the horizontal stabilizer's planar parameters and airfoil are determined, the horizontal stabilizer's lift line slope and stall angle of attack are also determined. Keeping the horizontal stabilizer tail arm length constant and only changing the horizontal stabilizer area is the simplest and most effective method to adjust the horizontal stabilizer's controllability. For a specific forward center of gravity position, a safe takeoff can be guaranteed when the horizontal stabilizer area satisfies the following formula:

[0117] Where W is the takeoff weight. To increase the speed pressure of the nose wheel during takeoff, This represents the initial value of the forward center of gravity position, which is the ratio of the aircraft's forward center of gravity x-axis coordinate to the mean aerodynamic chord. This represents the position of the aircraft's main landing gear along the x-axis.

[0118] ;

[0119] in, To increase the engine thrust at the point where the front wheels reach their speed point, For the number of engines, The height of the engine thrust line from the center of gravity;

[0120] ;

[0121] in, The coefficient of friction of the tire. The height of the aircraft's center of gravity above the ground;

[0122] ;

[0123] in, This is the damped aerodynamic derivative of the aircraft's pitch rate. The pitch rate of the aircraft at the point of zero load on the nose wheel. To increase the speed of the front wheels.

[0124] In this embodiment, the x-axis coordinate is defined as follows: the origin is the leading edge of the mean aerodynamic chord of the aircraft wing, the direction is the same as the fuselage axis, and the rearward direction is positive. Additionally, the lift coefficient available for the horizontal stabilizer is 90% of its maximum lift coefficient.

[0125] In some alternative implementations, in step S2, the front wheel pitching moment coefficient is calculated using the following formula. :

[0142] In some alternative implementations, in step S3, the ratio is set to 0.99-0.995.

[0143] In some alternative implementations, in step S3, the ratio is set to 0.992.

[0145] For example, the simulated aircraft is a high-wing transport aircraft with four turbofan engines mounted under the wings. The wing reference area is 300 m². 2 The mean aerodynamic chord length (Ca) is 6.4m. The engine thrust axis is 0.448m above the center of gravity, and the aircraft's center of gravity is 1.92m above the ground. Initial design: the nose center of gravity was 0.23Ca, and the main landing gear was 0.58Ca. The current nose center of gravity is 0.2Ca. The forward shift of the center of gravity results in insufficient takeoff nose wheel control torque, necessitating an increase in the horizontal stabilizer area.

[0146] Calculation conditions: Takeoff weight 180t, engine thrust 120kN. The calculation process for the horizontal stabilizer area adjustment of the example aircraft is as follows:

[0147] The lifting moment coefficient is calculated using the formula mentioned above. , and ;

[0149] Current value of the center of gravity position before calculation Corresponding flat tail area ;

[0150] Calculate the pitching moment coefficient of the front wheel after the first round of horizontal stabilizer area adjustment;

[0151] The area of ​​the flat tail calculated above The calculated value is too high because the effect of the increased horizontal stabilizer area causing a rearward shift in the aircraft's center of gravity on the pitching moment coefficient is not considered. Based on this, the tail area was gradually reduced by 0.8%. In the third round of calculations, the tail area was reduced to 56.81m². 2 The pitching moment with the front wheel raised is less than 0, as shown in Table 1. Then, in step S4, interpolation is performed based on the second and third calculation results in Table 1. After interpolation, the horizontal stabilizer area corresponding to zero pitching moment is 57.03 m². 2 The aircraft's forward center of gravity is 0.2059, and the aircraft's weight increases to 180.29t.
