Based on tight integration of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS), the GNSS/INS ARAIM attracts wide attention for its high performance with no additional cost. However, both of GNSS alone ARAIM and GNSS/INS ARAIM have to compute fault-tolerant position solutions of a large number of subsets, which results in a huge computational load. In this paper, a no-subset method for GNSS/INS ARAIM is proposed to conduct the fault detection test and to obtain the integrity and accuracy performances by computing a tight upper bound of the fault detection statistics and a tight bound of standard deviations of position errors, instead of the fault detection statistics and standard deviation of each subset. The computational load of the proposed algorithm is about 1% of that of the current GNSS/INS ARAIM, which facilitates its application in the airborne navigation system. Moreover, the simulation results show that the integrity and accuracy performances of the proposed GNSS/INS ARAIM are able to meet the corresponding requirements of CATI with global coverage.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126523056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, a fault-tolerant trajectory tracking controller is presented to autoland a commercial aircraft. Firstly, the dynamics models of the aircraft with faults and winds are built. Secondly, the stable inversion based fault-tolerant autolanding control architecture is proposed. The stable inversion control is used to improve output tracking precision. The H_∞ control is applied for robust stability against uncertainties caused by wind disturbances and the faults. Compare with common fault-tolerant autolanding control, the stable inversion based fault-tolerant autolanding control has more robust capability including stabilizing the non-minimum phase system. Finally, two scenario simulations are carried out for automatic landing control of a large civil aircraft under winds and elevator failures. The results indicate that the proposed stable inversion based fault-tolerant autolanding controller has better tracking performances than those of the stable inversion control and fault-tolerant autolanding control, even in control surface faults and large winds.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131022842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increasing use has brought with significant challenges in respect to UAV flight management, however. As one of the liability-critical applications, UAV flight management requires precise knowledge of the real-time vehicle state in flight, as well as timely alerts to relevant users or entities before a risky event happens, such as intrusion into a no-fly zone. This paper, therefore, presents the user level, accuracy and integrity requirements for unmanned aerial vehicle flight management. We go on then to design a sensor fusion based positioning system to meet the aforementioned requirements. This uses a Kalman filter to integrate Global Positioning System (GPS) data with Inertial Navigation System (INS) data, based on the pseudorange measurements. In addition, an integrity monitoring algorithm is proposed based on a dual-mode fault detector and w test statistics, and real-time dynamic horizontal protection level computation. Onboard experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of delivering the accuracy and integrity requirements for precise UAV flight management.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114363296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall MAPE scale also reaches the standard of 10^(-3) and indicates that the average error is quite low.

Flutter analyses are conducted using the full aeroelastic equation of motion derived from the Lagrange's equation and Theodorsen's airfoil theory. UTM CAMAR UAV composite wings are selected as case studies in which the ribs are positioned across the wing span to obtain the optimized rib position. The natural frequencies for bending and torsion at each of the rib positions is obtained using the finite element analysis, conducted using the ABAQUS software. From the study, a pair of ribs located at 33% and 67% of wing span was found to give the maximum flutter speed at 264.62 m/s.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123134049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make controller design possible for a novel UAV design, dynamics modeling-a process of deriving a set of differential equations governing the motion of the aircraft-is essential. In this paper, we present a conceptual approach to obtain the parameterized dynamics equation based on application of Newton's second law and approximations of aerodynamics effects on the UAV. From there, two identification methods are introduced, one bases on maximum likelihood while the other employs linear regression to estimate the aircraft's dynamic parameters such as aerodynamic and control and stability derivatives through an example involving our new hybrid UAV developed from fixed wing aircraft and a tricopter. Wind tunnel tests for a one-third scaled model are carried out to receive outputs of the model, such as Euler angles and rotation rates, from prescribed input signals, which are rotors' speeds, then pitching parameters are identified. Estimated model would then be validated to another set of experiment to show the fitness, hence remarks regarding the accuracy of the dynamics model and the parameters themselves can be made. The articles show that for the derived mathematical model, the estimation results were well fitted, and cross-validation also indicates that the model was fine enough. The methods have strong implications about its generality that is applicable to other novel vehicle designs.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"12 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116929861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modified ventilator has the combined features of static and turbine ventilators, modified from the conventional ventilator where its top cover is removed and replaced by a low-pressure ventilation device. An open wind tunnel system is used for this study, which simulates the condition where the wind blows over the rooftop ventilator. The air extraction rate is determined by the air mean velocity at the open slot of a ventilation pipe connected to the ventilator. The studies include ventilator rotation speeds and air extraction rates with and without ventilator's rotating, under different wind speeds and heights of the low-pressure ventilation device. Results show that the modified ventilators exhibit better air extraction rates than the conventional one does at all of the test wind speeds, especially at low wind speeds and as the ventilator not rotating. Also, the air extraction rate is generally proportional to the total height of the low-pressure ventilation device.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127770471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
