Aircraft’s basic transfer function relates the aircraft’s pitch rate, q, to the
tailplane/elevator angular movement, η, from the trimmed position
Speed.
Two types of motion in the response.
Pitch Response Assuming Constant Forward Speed:
➢The transfer function relating pitch rate and wing incidence to tail
plane(or elevator ) angle, that is q/η and α/ η are derived with the
assumptions of constant forward speed and small perturbations from
steady straight and level trimmed flight.
➢Body axis system, OX, OY, OZ moving with the aircraft with the
centre O at the CG of the aircrft is used to define the aircraft motion.
➢These axes are often referred to as ‘stability axes’ and enable some
simplification to be achieved in the equations of motion.
Pitch Response Assuming Constant Forward Speed
It should be noted that the signs of the derivatives
have been indicated at the summation points in the
block diagram. Mq is negative and an aerodynamically
stable aircraft is assumed so that Mα is also negative.
when A and φ are constants determined from the initial conditions (value of ˙q dot
and q at time t = 0).
SOLUTION:
Lateral Control
Movement of the rudder creates both a lateral force and a yawing
moment. The control action exerted by the rudder is thus used to:
➢The improved damping and stability about all three axes can be
achieved by an auto-stabilisation system, or, as it is sometimes referred
to, a stability augmentation system.
➢In the case of military aircraft, the yaw damper system may be essential
to give a steady weapon aiming platform as the pilot is generally unable
to control the short period yawing motion.
`
➢A yaw damper system is an essential system in most civil jet
aircraft as the undamped short period motion could cause
considerable passenger discomfort.
➢The wings, tailplane (or foreplane) and rudder have structural (flexural
and torsional) vibration modes of their own which couple with the aircraft
structure.
➢The FCS sensors which sense the aircraft motion also sense the
structural deflections and hence couple the structure modes into the
control loops.The location of the motion sensors with respect to the nodes
and anti-nodes of these structural modes is important.
➢The carriage of external stores and the fuel state produces significant
changes in the modal frequencies and must be taken into account in the
notch filter and FCS loop design.
➢Most simple, limited authority yaw dampers feed the
angular rate sensor signal to the stability augmentation
actuator through a ‘band pass filter’ with a high frequency
cut-off.
For example:
K = 87
T2 = 0.67 sec
ωo = 6 rad/sec & δ = 0.2
Let ω0 stab and ζstab denote the undamped natural frequency and damping
ratio of the quadratic factor in the transfer function q/δi of the aircraft with
pitch stability augmentation.
The q/δi transfer function with stability augmentation is thus
