Abstract
Aiming at the problem of lateral deviation of large-scale long-endurance solar-powered UAVs relative to the runway during takeoff or landing, a UAV ground motion control structure based on the combination of engine differential and rudder was proposed. According to the structural characteristics of large-scale long-endurance solar-powered UAVs, a ground motion model of a three-point layout UAV including landing gear was established, and the ground rolling dynamics and modal characteristics were analyzed. In order to accurately correct the trajectory error, the outer loop designs a trajectory correction control law and gives the inner loop desired control instructions. In order to solve the problem of environmental disturbance and small heading damping, the inner loop adopts the adaptive back-stepping control method. The disturbance signal is estimated through the adaptive law and compensated into the control system to achieve balanced control of speed and rolling correction. Finally, medium-speed and high-speed sliding tests were designed to verify the rationality of the proposed control scheme and control structure, as well as the efficiency of the control law design method adopted.
