Abstract:

In order to comprehensively consider the global aerodynamic nonlinear characteristics of the aircraft and meet the requirements of efficient global aerodynamic parameter identification of the aircraft, an improved aerodynamic parameter identification method based on the angle of attack partition is proposed. The angle of attack partition method of the orthogonal decision tree is used to divide the angle of attack variables involving a large range into multiple intervals, and the recursive least squares are used to estimate the aerodynamic derivatives for each interval, realizing the identification of linear aerodynamic characteristics in each interval. By introducing the transition method of weighted function, the calculation criteria of local model transformation to global model are given to ensure the continuity of the whole model. Finally, the aerodynamic parameter identification and comparative analysis of the angle of attack subarea are carried out through a certain aircraft model. The results show that the angle of attack subarea identification is in good agreement and has higher computational efficiency compared with the traditional global identification method, which shows the effectiveness and advantages of the angle of attack subarea identification method.

Key words: angle of attack partition, identification of aerodynamic parameters, weighting function, global modeling
