This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated trajectory/control analysis algorithm has been used to generate trajectories and desired control strategies for two different hypersonic air-breathing vehicle models and orbit targets. Both models used cubic spline curve fit tabulated winged-cone accelerator vehicle representations. Near-fuel-optimal, horizontal takeoff trajectories, imposing a dynamic pressure limit of 1000 psf, were developed. The first model analysis case involved a polar orbit and included the dynamic effects of using elevons to maintain longitudinal trim. Analysis results indicated problems with the adequacy of the propulsion model and highlighted dynamic pressure/altitude instabilities when using vehicle angle of attack as a control variable. Also, the magnitude of computed elevon deflections to maintain trim suggested a need for alternative pitch moment management strategies. The second analysis case was reformulated to use vehicle pitch attitude relative to the local vertical as the control variable. A new, more realistic, air-breathing propulsion model was incorporated. Pitch trim calculations were dropped and an equatorial orbit was specified. Changes in flight characteristics due to the new propulsion model have been identified. Flight regimes demanding rapid attitude changes have been noted. Also, some issues that would affect design of closed-loop controllers were ascertained. Hattis, Philip D. and Malchow, Harvey L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace vehicles are by their very nature a crucial environment for safety-critical systems. By virtue of an effective safety control system, the aerospace vehicle can maintain high performance despite the risk of component malfunction and multiple disturbances, thereby enhancing aircraft safety and the probability of success for a mission. Autonomous Safety Control of Flight Vehicles presents a systematic methodology for improving the safety of aerospace vehicles in the face of the following occurrences: a loss of control effectiveness of actuators and control surface impairments; the disturbance of observer-based control against multiple disturbances; actuator faults and model uncertainties in hypersonic gliding vehicles; and faults arising from actuator faults and sensor faults. Several fundamental issues related to safety are explicitly analyzed according to aerospace engineering system characteristics; while focusing on these safety issues, the safety control design problems of aircraft are studied and elaborated on in detail using systematic design methods. The research results illustrate the superiority of the safety control approaches put forward.

These marvels of engineering, capable of exceeding Mach 5, shatter the boundaries of conventional weaponry, offering unparalleled speed, maneuverability, and destructive power. Their emergence has ignited a global arms race, as nations scramble to develop and deploy these formidable weapons systems. This comprehensive exploration of hypersonic missile technology embarks on a journey through the fascinating realm of hypersonic flight. From its origins in science fiction to its current status as a critical component of modern military arsenals, we delve into the intricate physics, propulsion concepts, and guidance systems that propel these marvels of engineering. Along the way, we encounter the challenges and opportunities presented by hypersonic weapons, exploring their impact on global security and the prospects for arms control. A Glimpse into the Future of Warfare As hypersonic missiles continue to evolve, their implications for warfare grow ever more profound. Their ability to penetrate hardened defenses, attack with unprecedented precision, and evade traditional missile defense systems poses a significant threat to the strategic balance of power. Moreover, their potential applications extend beyond traditional warfare, raising concerns about their use in asymmetric conflicts and the disruption of international stability. Navigating the Ethical Landscape The development and deployment of hypersonic weapons raise complex ethical and legal considerations. The potential for devastating civilian casualties, the erosion of arms control agreements, and the increased risk of escalation demand careful consideration and responsible stewardship of this revolutionary technology. Seeking Cooperation in a New Era In the face of these challenges, international cooperation is essential to mitigate the risks associated with hypersonic weapons. Fostering dialogue and finding common ground on arms control measures can help prevent the proliferation of these destabilizing technologies and promote global security. A Call for Responsible Innovation As we explore the frontiers of hypersonic missile technology, we must remain mindful of its potential impact on the world we inhabit. Responsible innovation demands a commitment to transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of peace. It is our collective responsibility to harness the power of technology for the betterment of humanity, not for its destruction. Join us on this journey as we unravel the mysteries of hypersonic missile technology, unraveling its potential for both destruction and innovation. Together, we can shape the future of warfare and ensure that the pursuit of progress does not come at the cost of humanity's safety and security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the successful 1st CEAS (Council of European Aerospace Societies) Specialist Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control (CEAS EuroGNC) held in Munich, Germany in 2011, Delft University of Technology happily accepted the invitation of organizing the 2nd CEAS EuroGNC in Delft, The Netherlands in 2013. The goal of the conference is to promote new advances in aerospace GNC theory and technologies for enhancing safety, survivability, efficiency, performance, autonomy and intelligence of aerospace systems using on-board sensing, computing and systems. A great push for new developments in GNC are the ever higher safety and sustainability requirements in aviation. Impressive progress was made in new research fields such as sensor and actuator fault detection and diagnosis, reconfigurable and fault tolerant flight control, online safe flight envelop prediction and protection, online global aerodynamic model identification, online global optimization and flight upset recovery. All of these challenges depend on new online solutions from on-board computing systems. Scientists and engineers in GNC have been developing model based, sensor based as well as knowledge based approaches aiming for highly robust, adaptive, nonlinear, intelligent and autonomous GNC systems. Although the papers presented at the conference and selected in this book could not possibly cover all of the present challenges in the GNC field, many of them have indeed been addressed and a wealth of new ideas, solutions and results were proposed and presented. For the 2nd CEAS Specialist Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control the International Program Committee conducted a formal review process. Each paper was reviewed in compliance with good journal practice by at least two independent and anonymous reviewers. The papers published in this book were selected from the conference proceedings based on the results and recommendations from the reviewers.
