Specifically: S21, real-time calculation to determine the lateral error corridor.

[0046] Before performing lateral deviation determination, the boundary of the lateral error corridor must be calculated in real time based on the current remaining range. The lateral error corridor is defined as: the acceptable lateral deviation range of the aircraft's ground projection point relative to the nominal heading; the lateral error corridor consists of two curves symmetrical about the nominal heading, and its half-width...

[0048] based on The lateral error corridor is determined. The lateral error corridor is defined by the line-of-sight direction from the aircraft's current position to the target point, and is bounded by its left and right boundaries; the left boundary refers to the leftward shift of the line-of-sight direction. The right boundary refers to the rightward shift of the line of sight. ,like Figure 3 As shown.

[0049] The lateral error corridor is independent of the longitudinal DV constraint corridor, but it is triggered when lateral adjustments are made (i.e., the predicted trajectory exceeds the limit). At that time, the system will calculate the longitudinal adjustment amount. This enables longitudinal and lateral coupling control.

[0050] S22 performs trajectory prediction based on the current flight status.

[0063] S3, according to and Generate resultant drag acceleration command .

[0064] In this embodiment, The flight control system can track the aircraft by adjusting its angle of attack and roll angle. Among them, the angle of attack mainly affects the longitudinal direction, which is used to change the drag coefficient and directly control the energy consumption rate of the aircraft. At the same time, the larger the angle of attack, the more severe the aerodynamic heating and the higher the heat flux density. The roll angle affects the lateral direction by generating lateral forces to change the flight direction, and also affects the longitudinal direction through quasi-equilibrium gliding conditions. Thus, while controlling the flight direction, it also enables fine-tuning of the aircraft's energy consumption and heat flux density.

[0066] In this embodiment, the online rolling planning cycle is triggered once every 10 seconds or every 0.5km descent. Through the online rolling planning cycle (planning-execution-feedback-replanning) in steps S1 to S4 above, the aircraft continuously adjusts its angle of attack and roll angle in real time based on its current position, velocity, attitude information, landing site coordinates, and path constraint thresholds throughout the reentry process. This allows for precise tracking or replanning of the flight trajectory, ultimately achieving precise and reliable maneuvering to the predetermined landing site while ensuring strict compliance with thermal flux, dynamic pressure, and overload constraints.

[0067] In this embodiment, the online trajectory planning and lateral adjustment method for the reentry process further includes: throughout steps S1 to S3, real-time monitoring and determination of whether heat flux density, dynamic pressure, overload, and lateral deviation exceed limits; if any one of these parameters exceeds the limit, the current cycle is immediately interrupted, and an emergency replanning mode is initiated.

This represents the overload prediction time domain, typically taken as 3 seconds. This represents the overload warning factor, typically taken as 0.9. 0.95.

[0070] (4) Monitor and determine whether the lateral deviation exceeds the limit by means of the following: The current lateral deviation is calculated in real time. Determine emergency corridors : ;like If the deviation exceeds the limit, the lateral deviation is considered to be out of bounds; otherwise, the lateral deviation is considered not to have exceeded the limit. Indicates the emergency response coefficient. .

[0071] If any of the aforementioned critical parameters is detected to be about to exceed the limit, the current loop is immediately interrupted, and an emergency replanning mode is initiated. This emergency replanning mode is a special planning mode with the primary objective of preserving the aircraft. This mode prioritizes lateral control, generating a conservative flight profile that strictly satisfies all path constraints and directly conforms to the lower boundary of the thermal flow constraint to reduce thermal load. Then, based on this conservative profile, a feasible trajectory capable of reaching the landing site is recalculated. If the current trajectory cannot safely reach the original landing site, it is automatically replanned to a pre-stored alternate landing site.
