SDRE Based Guidance and Flight Control of Aircraft Formations

2015-01-05
In this paper, a nonlinear guidance algorithm to control unmanned aircraft formationsis presented. This algorithm is based on State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) ap-proach. Guidance equations are developed for leader-follower formation configurations.Flight control algorithms use SDRE based controllers as well, in the longitudinal and lat-eral dynamic channels of the aircraft. Leader aircraft follows the given speed, heading andaltitude commands and follower aircraft follows the leader using the commands generatedby SDRE based guidance algorithm. The effectiveness of the algorithms are demonstratedthrough simulations

Numerical simulation of lateral jets in supersonic crossflow of missiles using computational fluid dynamics
Dağlı, Efe Can; Aksel, M. Haluk.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, numerical simulation method for modelling lateral jet in supersonic crossflow is presented. Lateral jet control provides high maneuverability to the missile at difficult flow conditions. Besides, jet in a crossflow case has a highly complicated flow domain which should be examined using numerical or experimental methods. In this study, numerical methods are used. The thesis consists of two main sections. In the first section, a validation study is conducted for numerical simulation method us...

Feedback motion planning of a novel fully actuated unmanned surface vehicle via sequential composition of random elliptical funnels
Özdemir, Oğuz; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27)
This thesis proposes and analyzes a motion planning and control schema for unmanned surface vehicles that fuses sampling-based approaches’ probabilistic completeness with closed-loop approaches’ robustness. The Proposed schema is based on the sequential composition of elliptical funnels, and it consists of two stages: tree generation and motion control. For validation of the approach, we carried out experiments using both simulation and physical setup besides the mathematical analysis. In order to have a co...

Nonlinear aeroservoelastic modelling and analysis of aircraft with control surface freeplay
Yurtsever, Utku; Şahin, Melin; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-11-24)
In this study, nonlinear aeroservoelastic analysis of aircraft with control surface freeplay is performed using the fictitious mass approach. For the demonstration of the nonlinear aeroservoelastic analysis methodology, an available very light aircraft (VLA) design configuration is selected. The aeroelastic model of the aircraft is obtained by combining the structural and aerodynamic models of the aircraft, which are prepared by the finite element modelling and analysis tool MSC.Patran/MSC.Nastran and the a...
