Aerodynamic parameter estimation using flight test data Kutluay, Ümit; Platin, Bülent Emre; Mahmutyazıcıoğlu, Gökmen; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) This doctoral study aims to develop a methodology for use in determining aerodynamic models and parameters from actual flight test data for different types of autonomous flight vehicles. The stepwise regression method and equation error method are utilized for the aerodynamic model identification and parameter estimation. A closed loop aerodynamic parameter estimation approach is also applied in this study which can be used to fine tune the model parameters. Genetic algorithm is used as the optimization ker...
Flutter qualification of transport aircraft with store suspension Kayran, Altan (2004-01-01) The methodology backed by relevant analysis results, flutter flight test (FFT) results, and their interpretation is presented for the flutter qualification of a transport aircraft with wing mounted external store suspension. Before the flight tests, extensive flutter analyses are performed by MSC/Nastran for different weight and CG configurations to reduce the number of costly FFTs based on the results of flutter analysis and decide on the aircraft test configurations. Analysis results and test results indi...
Aircraft motion dynamics and lateral trajectory tracking algorithm design for the enhancement of flight safety Günhan, Cahide Yeliz; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) This thesis aspires to cover the fundamentals of an aircraft control for Flight Management System (FMS). FMS, trajectory tracking and performance requirements of a flight are the focal points of the thesis. In view of this, the thesis consists of the outlined components to achieve its goal; (i) generating paths - which denotes the creation of reference paths for trajectory by complying with the avionic performance standardizations, (ii) controlling the aircraft – which propagates the control commands by usi...
Aeroservoelastic Modelling and Analysis of a Missile Control Surface with a Nonlinear Electromechanical Actuator Mehmet Ozan, Nalcı; Kayran, Altan (null; 2014-06-16) In this study, aeroservoelastic modeling and analysis of a missile control surface which is operated and controlled by a power limited, nonlinear electromechanical actuator is performed. Linear models of the control fin structure and aerodynamics together with the nonlinear servo-actuation system are built and integrated. The resulting aeroservoelastic system is analyzed both in time and frequency domain. Structural model of the control fin is based on the finite element model of the fin. Aerodynamic model ...
Applying data mining techniques to detect abnormal flight characteristics ASLANER, H. Emre; UNAL, Cagri; İyigün, Cem (2016-04-20) This paper targets to highlight flight safety issues by applying data mining techniques to recorded flight data and proactively detecting abnormalities in certain flight phases. For this purpose, a result oriented method is offered which facilitates the process of post flight data analysis. In the first part of the study, a common time period of flight is defined and critical flight parameters are selected to be analyzed. Then the similarities of the flight parameters in time series basis are calculated for...
