Flight Profile Modeling and Study of Algorithms for Control of Fuel System Units of an Advanced Light Helicopter

Abstract

The paper presents a method of building a simulation model of a light helicopter flight, in order to study the dynamics of changes in the input parameters that have a significant effect on the fuel system. The simulation model allows to simulate the flight of a helicopter in the entire operational range of heights and speeds, and can also be adapted to vehicles of other categories with different dynamics. Mathematical models of the system units are created based on the characteristics of real prototypes: pumps, engines, valves, flexible hoses, etc. The article also considers general algorithms for controlling the fuel system units, which provide the fuel supply to the engines with the specified characteristics.
