Study Notes
Flying & Handling Qualities
- The title of the module is Flying & Handling Qualities.
Context
- Performance in terms of speed, range, and endurance is fundamental to the value of airplanes.
- Flying and Handling Quality standards are necessary to evaluate the airplane design.
- Aircraft should be safe, effective, and preferably easy to fly within their mission area.
Subjects in Flying & Handling Quality standards
- Flying Qualities (FQ)
- Handling Qualities (HQ)
- Pilot In the loop Oscillation (PIO)
Flying Qualities Definition
- Flying qualities encompass stability and control characteristics that significantly impact flight safety.
- Flying qualities effect the pilot's perception of how easy it is to fly the airplane in both steady flight and maneuvers.
Handling Qualities Definition
- Handling qualities define the attributes of an airplane that allow a pilot to perform necessary tasks with ease and precision.
- These tasks are determined by the aircraft's intended role.
Pilot In the Loop Oscillation Definition
- Pilot in the loop oscillation is an unintended, continuous, or unmanageable oscillation.
- It arises due to the pilot's efforts to control the aircraft
Qualities
- Flying qualities are task-related, while handling qualities are response-related.
Aircraft Stability
- Aircraft stability is the ability of an airplane to maintain or revert to its original flight path after a disruption.
Stability
- Stability is divided into static and dynamic stability.
Static Stability
- Static stability relates to an aircraft's initial response to a disturbance.
Positive Static Stability
- Positive static stability means the aircraft tends to revert back to its original attitude after a disturbance.
Negative Static Stability
- Negative static stability means the aircraft tends to deviate further from its original attitude after a disturbance.
Neutral Static Stability
- Neutral static stability means the aircraft tends to maintain its new attitude after a disturbance.
Aircraft Design and Stability
- Aircraft should be designed with positive static stability to design a safe aircraft.
- An aircraft's static stability is entirely dependent on the aircraft design
Longitudinal Static Stability
- Longitudinal Static Stability refers to the initial response of an aircraft after it is subject to a disturbance in Pitch.
- Stability is determined by the wing airfoil.
Center of Gravity vs Center of Pressure
- The horizontal stabiliser prevents aircraft nose diving
- This gives a positive longitudinal stability to keep level flight.
Lateral Static Stability
- Lateral Static Stability relates to an aircraft's movement in roll following a disturbance.
- Stability is provided by the vertical stabilizer and the wing structure.
Dynamic Stability
- Dynamic stability refers to an aircraft's reaction over a certain time period.
Positive Dynamic Stability
- Positive Dynamic Stability describes the aircraft returns to it's original flight path and has oscillations that diminish quickly
- For positive dynamic stability the C.P. should be behind the C.G., with a swept back wing design
Negative Dynamic Stability
- Negative Dynamic Stability describes the aircraft deviates even further from it's original flight path and has oscillations with increasing magnitude
Neutral Dynamic Stability
- Neutral Dynamic Stability describes the aircraft maintains the same oscillation after a disturbance.
Longitudinal Dynamic Stability
- Longitudinal Dynamic Stability is related to disturbances in pitch.
- It involves oscillations that are quickly damped
Types of Oscillations for Longitudinal Dynamic Stability
- Phugoid mode oscillation of flight airspeed and altitude are long & slow
- Short period oscillation of angle of attack and vertical velocity are short & fast
Lateral and Directional Dynamic Stability
- Lateral and Directional Dynamic Stability include Roll & Yaw that are interconnected
Rolling left
- For roll and yaw the lift vector moves sideways
Spiral Instability
- Spiral Instability is indicated by a bank angle where a plane's angle of Inclination increases.
Dutch Roll
- Dutch Roll is a combination of both roll and yaw where the aircraft tries to come back to it's original altitude.
Improving Dynamic Stability
- Positive Dynamic Stability is improved when the aircraft has Positive Static Stability.
- Also by sweeping the Wing Design back and including a tail section.
- Instigating positive inputs can elevate aircraft performance
Dynamics Stability & Flight
- Engineers and pilots concern any variation due to pilot command or weather
- This is due to Flight Airspeed and Altitude variations
Kinds of Dynamic Stability
- Longitudinal Dynamic Stability
- Lateral-Directional Dynamic Stability
Longitudinal Dynamic Stability
- Longitudinal Dynamic Stability can be expressed through Two types of oscillations
- Phugoid mode oscillation of flight airspeed and altitude -long & slow
- Short period oscillation of angle of attack and vertical velocity -short & fast
Lateral-Directional Dynamic Stability
- Lateral-Directional Dynamic Stability can be expressed through Three types of reaction
- Spiral mode
- Rolling mode
- Dutch Roll oscillation
Aircraft Stability Concretization
- Hardware concretization of aircraft Stability and Control is presented on board through two special devices:
- AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System)
- AP (Autopilot)
Aircraft Control Scheme
- The pilot controls the aircraft through a stick or yoke.
- This input goes to the AFCS.
- The AFCS interfaces with engines and atmospheric sensors
- The AFCS takes control surface data and delivers to actuators
- All information is available at cockpit, controlled via sensors
Study Approach of Aircraft Dynamic Stability
- To realize this:
- There is an Aircraft Reaction through time.
- It can be the Modelling & Simulation of aircraft system.
- It is based on Aircraft Equations of Motion
Aircraft parameters include
Forces: F (Thrust) δε (Elevator) δα(Ailerons) 𝛿r(Rudder)
- Wind: Wx Wy wz Moments: L M N Atmospheric conditions need to have 2nd equations of motion. 2nd equation of motions need 1st cinematic equations:
Aircraft has 6 degrees of freedom
- It has 3 translational, 3 rotational degrees
Deriving the Equations of Motion:
- STEP 1: Write Newton's 2nd Law (in inertial frame) 𝑑 Σ𝐹 = 𝑑𝑡(𝑚𝑣) 𝑀=
- STEP 2: -Re-formulate the Newton's nd law in Body frame" 𝑑𝑀 F=m—|+m(wXY) 𝑑𝑡 𝐻 M = +w+H — 𝑑𝑡
- STEP 3: -Identify and expand the external forces and moments
Assumptions so far:
Earth is fixed in space (ie, an inertial reference)
Airplane is a rigid body
Airplane mass and moments of inertia (ie. including mass distribution) are constant over the time of interest
X-Z plane is a plane-of-symmetry
Now let's reduce the 6-DoF equations into: ) 3-DoF Longitudinal EoM ) 3-DoF Lateral-Directional EoM DoF Longitudinal EoM- These equations are "non-linear" because they contain products of the motion variables—QW , RV .PR and PV
3DoF Lateral-Directional EoM
-
Lateral-Directional motion consists of a coupled roll and yaw rotation and a y-axis translation.
These equations are "non-linear" because they contain products of the motion variablesQR.PQ.RU and PW .... Linearization using Small Disturbance Theory
Let's linearize the equation of motion using small disturbance theory -4 Step process to Linearization
Step 1
Rewrite the EoM in terms of the steady state and perturbation variable.
Step 2
Apply the small angle assumption to the trig functions of perturbation angles.
accounted in Radians
Step 3
Assume Products of small perturbations are negligible
Step 4
Small Perturbation Assumption
𝐏 = 𝐏𝟎 + ∆𝐩
Subscript “ 0 “ for the steady state value and, small letter for
the perturbation value
𝑿 = 𝑿𝟎 + ∆𝑿 𝒀 = 𝒀𝟎 + ∆𝒀 𝒁 = 𝒁𝟎 + ∆𝒁
𝑳 = 𝑳𝟎 + ∆𝑳 𝑴 = 𝑴𝟎 + ∆𝑴 𝑵 = 𝑵𝟎 + ∆𝑵
𝜽 = 𝜽𝟎 + ∆𝜽 𝜹 = 𝜹𝟎 + ∆𝜹
For convenience, the reference flight condition is assumed to be symmetric flight, and the propulsive forces are assumed to remain constant. This implies that 𝑽𝟎 = 𝑷𝟎 = 𝑸𝟎 = 𝑹𝟎 = 𝝋𝟎 = 𝝍𝟎 = 𝟎 Furthermore, if we initially align the x axis so that it is along the direction of the airplane's velocity vector, then 𝑾𝟎 =0
