A method for controlling flying of a tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter in a transition section is characterized in that the optimal preview control is adopted, and by fusing
system motion equation constraints, a preview ideal state and the optimal
performance index constraint information, the flying of the tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter in the transition section is controlled; specifically, the method comprises the steps that firstly, a
nonlinear model is set up for the transition section of the tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter, and then a liner equation for
state space description is obtained in the mode that trimming and
linearization at different
nacelle dip angles are achieved; secondly, based on the
linear model, the optimal preview controller is designed, and the flying speed, the
flying height and the flying attitude angle in the transition process are controlled; finally,
inertia delay desalted equipment is designed for achieving smooth transition of the tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter between different
nacelle dip angles. According to the method for controlling flying of the tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter in the transition section, by fusing a predicable expected speed, a height, an attitude angle and other information, safe switching between
modes of the tilt-rotor unmanned helicopter is achieved.
