A mathematical simulation and evaluation method for the flight control systems

Abstract

To provide a reference for how to evaluate the flight control systems (FCSs) mathematically, a mathematical simulation and evaluation method for the flight control systems was proposed in this paper. Firstly, a brief description of the FCS was given. Secondly, the dynamic and kinematic parameters of aircraft were introduced. Thirdly, mathematical simulation structure for the evaluation of FCS was proposed to basically show how to mathematically simulate the aircraft and the FCS. Then, based on the dynamic, kinematic parameters and the simulation structure, mathematical simulation models were built, including the hardware model, the dynamic and kinematic models, and the aircraft disturbance model. Finally, an evaluation method of mathematical simulation for the FCS was proposed to illustrate how to evaluate FCS performances with the built mathematical simulation models.
