An
automatic landing control method for a large-scale fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises: dividing a landing phase of an unmanned aerial vehicle into an approach
level flight phase, a final approach glide slope phase, a first landing
flare phase, a second landing
flare phase and a landing rollout phase; in the approach
level flight phase, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain a
target level flight speed and a target approach
level flight altitude, and to align a
lateral offset and a track angle with a
runway extended centerline and track the
runway extended centerline; in the final approach glide slope phase, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain a target glide speed and a target glide angle; in the first landing
flare phase, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain a target vertical speed and an
airspeed; in the second landing flare phase, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain the target vertical speed and the
airspeed; and in the landing rollout phase, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to decelerate to 0, and at the same time, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain a target
lateral offset and a target heading angle and keep same on a
runway centerline. The control method enables precise control over the
automatic landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle, thereby greatly improving the robustness and safety of the
automatic landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
