Abstract

The present application belongs to the technical field of flight test, and particularly relates to a kind of troposphere manned airship fuel system hot climate test flight method. Including: S1: determining test flight condition;S2: make airship climb to the minimum safe height after stable flight first time, gradually increase the power of transmitter to maximum continuous power;S3: after speed stabilization, climb to maximum use height at maximum continuous power;S4: monitor fuel pressure, fuel flow and engine operation during climbing, monitor whether there is gas lock phenomenon caused by fuel overheating, which leads to unstable engine operation;S5: if there is no gas lock phenomenon caused by fuel overheating, which leads to unstable engine operation, airship climbs to maximum use height, returns and lands;S6: if fuel pressure is within normal range, fuel flow is within normal range, and engine does not work abnormally due to fuel interruption during test, then fuel system hot climate test flight is completed.
