Abstract

Aiming at the difficulty of post-stall maneuvering control modeling and control of advanced aircraft under unsteady aerodynamics, a control method with high control accuracy and fast computation speed is proposed based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) network with minimum parameters learning (MPL) and dynamic surface control (DSC) method. Firstly, the aerodynamic characteristics of post-stall maneuvers are analyzed based on the experimental data of large-scale oscillation wind tunnels, and the key factors affecting the unsteady aerodynamic forces are obtained. Then, an accurate unsteady aerodynamic model is established based on the improved extreme learning machine (ELM) method. Secondly, the influence of unsteady aerodynamic forces on the control of post-stall maneuvers is considered. For the uncertainty of advanced aircraft model, high angle of attack flight control laws based on RBF-DSC are designed. In order to improve the calculation speed of the above control law and optimize the parameters, a post-stall maneuver control law method based on MPL-RBF-DSC is designed, and the stability of the method is proved. The coordinated allocation of the conventional aerodynamic surfaces and thrust vectors is realized based on the daisy chain method. Finally, the typical maneuver simulation of 'Cobra' is carried out, which highlights the advantages of the design method in this paper, such as high control accuracy, short calculation time and strong robustness.
