The application relates to a method for realizing variable-rate rotary motion of a tethered support
airplane model, belonging to the technical field of wind tunnel testing. First, an 8-tether redundant constraint tethered support
airplane model is adopted; second, in a three-dimensional rotary space, a relationship between a roll angle velocity and a
pitch angle velocity is established, so that a
angle of attack change rate is zero; third, a relationship between the roll angle velocity and a
yaw angle velocity is further established, so that a side
slip angle change rate is zero; subsequently, given an initial
angle of attack and an initial side
slip angle, a three-rotary-degree-of-freedom fixed
coupling ratio motion is completed; then, three rotary angle velocity components around the
body axis are synthesized to obtain a total rotary angle velocity, that is, an angle velocity of variable-rate rotation around a velocity axis; finally, according to a kinematic relationship, inverse solution of the
airplane model position is obtained to obtain a tether length, which is used for
motion control, so as to realize variable-rate rotary motion of the airplane model around the velocity axis. The method can realize rotary motion of the tethered support airplane model.
