[46] The present invention is further described below in conjunction. with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[47] To adapt to the demands of operational scenarios in modernized wars in the future, the supersonic aircraft in the present invention needs to have the capability of dealing with a multimission mode as far as possible, so as to realize the completion of different operational missions at different cruise heights, and therefore, the supersonic aircraft needs to have the capability of planning a ballistic trajectory curve of a changed cruise height; the supersonic aircraft has the characteristic of high flight speed, so that the time requirements for the online generation of a height variation trajectory for the supersonic aircraft are quite demanding. Accordingly, the present invention provides a trajectory design method for online height adjustment of a cruise section of a supersonic aircraft in order to solve the problem that a supersonic aircraft can rapidly plan a ballistic trajectory for arriving at a new cruise height state online in the cruise section.
[48] The main idea of the method is to: design a ballistic trajectory instruction for a supersonic aircraft using the target cruise height set with equally spaced heights (such as 500 m) as a flight profile in accordance with the cruise height range of the supersonic aircraft, and a trajectory database covering the entire flight height is formed. Normalization processing is performed on the target cruise height under each flight profile in the trajectory database, and the flight profile data under the nonnormalized target cruise height are reselected to obtain a new trajectory database under the normalized height. When a target cruise height instruction is received, the new trajectory database is called, the instruction data of the ballistic trajectory instruction at the normalized height at this target cruise height are obtained, ther1 a height variation factor is obtained. using a weight relationship between. the target cruise height to be achieved and two adjacent cruise heights in the trajectory database, and the normalized height is restored to the actual trajectory height instruction, so as to achieve the rapid generation of the ballistic trajectory instruction for the flight profile of any target cruise height.
[49] The present invention is an online rapid. planning method for a variable height trajectory of a supersonic aircraft, where an optimal trajectory curve for flight to a target cruise height of spaced heights is designed on the ground at first; then normalization processing is performed on the height for the target cruise height trajectory of these spaced heights, and a new trajectory database of the normalized. height h is obtained. under different target cruise heights; when the aircraft receives the target cruise height instruction & in the flight process, the new trajectory database is called, and the remaining ballistic trajectory instructions in addition to the height when flying to this cruise height @ are calculated using the weight relationship between the received target cruise height @ and the two adjacent cruise heights % and % ( ha<hh) 1J1 the new trajectory database; then the height variation factor K4 is calculated according to the target cruise heights hg under the target cruise height instruction & and the initial cruise height % and normalized height instruction, the normalized height instruction hg in the database is restored to the actual trajectory height instruction hf to obtain all the ballistic trajectory instructions under the cruise height he, so as to realize rapid generation of the ballistic trajectory instruction of the flight profile at any cruise height within the cruise height range of the supersonic aircraft.
[50] Based on the above principle, an online fast planning method for a variable height trajectory of a supersonic aircraft includes the following steps, as shown in FIG. 1:
[51] In S1, the cruise height is divided into a climbing height section and a descending height section according to the cruise height variation range of the supersonic aircraft; when the target cruise height he received by the aircraft is greater than an initial cruise height ho, the cruise height is categorized as the climbing height section, and conversely, the cruise height is categorized as the descending height section; according to the upper and lower height limits of the height section, a plurality of set heights are obtained in accordance with equal height steps, and a ballistic trajectory instruction of the flight profile is planned offline for each set height in accordance with the flight voyage, including the ballistic actual height instruction hf , the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction & and.the attack angle instruction ac obtained by linear interpolation of the flight voyage Â; and the flight profile ballistic trajectory instructions at all set heights are arranged. in the height sequence to form. a trajectory database.
[52] In one embodiment of the present invention, a full process is divided into two parts: offline trajectory planning processing and online trajectory generation. The first part is the offline trajectory planning processing part: assuming that the initial cruise height of the supersonic aircraft is 25 km, the cruise height is divided into a climbing height section 25.527.5 km and a descending height section 2324.5 km according to the cruise height variation range of the supersonic aircraft; when the target cruise height % received by the aircraft is greater than the initial cruise height, the cruise height is set as the climbing height section, and conversely, the cruise height is set as the descending height section; according to the upper and lower height limits of the height section, five set heights of the climbing height section and four set heights of the descending height section are obtained in accordance with an equally spaced height of 500 m, and a ballistic trajectory instruction of the flight profile is planned offline for each set height in accordance with the flight voyage, including the ballistic actual height instruction hf , the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction & and.the attack angle instruction ac obtained by linear interpolation of the flight voyage ÄÏ; the flight profile ballistic trajectory instructions at all set heights are arranged in the height sequence to form an original trajectory database, as shown in FIGs. 24.
[53] In S2, the height instruction of one of the flight profiles in the ballistic trajectory height instruction h ballistic trajectory" dip angle instruction Q: and. attack angle instruction ac arranged in the flight height sequence is taken as the normalized height instruction kg, the ballistic trajectory instruction of the normalized height instruction h? at different target cruise heights in the remaining' flight. profiles is obtained, a new trajectory database is created for this, and at this time, the offline planning mission on the ground is completed.
[54] For these ballistic trajectory instructions, i.e., the height instruction he, the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction & and the attack angle instruction ac, which are arranged in the sequence of flight heights, a height in the climbing height section of 2527.5 km is selected as a normalized height in the climbing section, a height in the descending' height section. of 2523 km. is selected. as a normalized height in the descending section, the ballistic trajectory instruction at the normalized height at different target cruise heights is obtained, a new trajectory database is created for this, as shown in FIGs. 57, and the offline planning processing mission on the ground is completed once the above steps are completed.
[55] In S3, when the aircraft receives a target cruise height instruction he in the process of cruise flight, a new trajectory database is called, and a ballistic trajectory voyage XT, a ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction a and an attack angle instruction. ac obtained by linear interpolation according to the normalized height instruction h? under the target cruise height instruction % are obtained in accordance with the target cruise height instruction & and a linear interpolation between the two adjacent target cruise heights h and hb in the database.
[56] In the process of cruise flight, assuming that the aircraft receives a target cruise height instruction he=2625bn, i.e., after the aircraft is required to climb from a cruise height of 25 km to a cruise height of 26.25 km, a new trajectory database is called, a ballistic trajectory instruction of the normalized height h? with the aircraft climbing to a height of 26.25 km through a linear interpolation performed between 26.25 km and two adjacent target cruise heights in the new trajectory database, as well as a ballistic trajectory voyage AY, a. ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction 5% and. an attack angle instruction ac obtained. by linear interpolation in accordance with the normalized height h? are obtained, so as to obtain the variations in the voyage ÄÏ, the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction & and the attack angle instruction ac with the normalized height h under the new trajectory database, as shown in FIGs. 810.
[57] In. S4, a height variation factor 5% is calculated according to the target cruise height hq the initial cruise height % and the target cruise height @? under the normalized height instruction:
[58] he_h0
[59] where h? is the target cruise height instruction received by the aircraft, hg is the normalized height stored in the new trajectory database, and ho is the initial cruise height.
[60] At the initial cruise height hOZZSbn, the target cruise height instruction he=2625bn, the normalized cruise height h? of the climbing section and the initial cruise height h0=25bn , the height variation factor K4 is calculated:
[61] C 0 ' .
[62] In 85, the normalized height instruction h is restored to the actual ballistic trajectory height instruction hz based on the target cruise height he and the height variation factor K4; hz =+h0
[63] Kh .
[64] In S6, all the ballistic trajectory instructions for flight to a flight profile corresponding to the target cruise height he are obtained from the ballistic trajectory height instruction % restored from S5, together with the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction &? and the attack angle instruction ac obtained in S3.
[65] Curves of the attack angle instruction ac vs. actual height @ variation, the voyage ÄÏ vs. actual height @ variation, and the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction Q: vs. actual height hz variation under the flight profile corresponding to the flight to the target cruise height he=2625bn are obtained 1J1 this embodiment. The results are shown in FIGs. 1113, and the generated curves of the attack angle instruction ac vs. voyage variation, the height instruction hz vs. Voyage variation, and the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction @ vs. voyage variation are shown in FIGs. 1416.
[66] To verify the consistency of the height instruction and the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction generated online through the trajectory database with the height and ballistic trajectory dip angle curves simulated. by the attack angle instruction generated online, simulation and verification. are performed. by bringing' the attack angle instruction generated online into a threedegreesof freedom kinematic model, and the simulation result of the height ballistic curve and the ballistic trajectory dip angle curve is shown in FIGs. 1718, which reveals that: there is a good consistency of the generated. ballistic trajectory height instruction and the ballistic trajectory dip angle instruction with the height and the ballistic trajectory dip angle simulated. by the kinematic model. Therefore, it is possible to achieve offline planning of ballistic trajectory" data at some of the target cruise heights on the ground by using the method for online rapid generation of a ballistic trajectory of the present invention.
