民机自动飞行系统对降低飞行员工作负荷、提高飞行安全性具有重要作用。分析了自动飞行系统飞行模式设计的相关适航规范要求,研究了模式设计的基本方法和软件开发工具,以及适航符合性验证方法。开发了一种飞行模式设计与仿真平台,基于MATLAB/Stateflow设计飞行模式及其切换机制,采用MATLAB/GUI接收驾驶员操作输入,并调用飞行动力学模型进行实时仿真。形成一个集模式设计、仿真和验证一体化的闭环平台,可用于民机飞行模式的设计和适航性分析。
Automatic flight system plays an important role in reducing pilots workload and improving flight safety. The relative airworthiness specification was analyzed. The basic principle and software development tools were studied for flight mode design. Furthermore, the airworthiness compliance validation methods for flight mode were explored. A platform for flight modes design and simulation was developed, in which the flight modes and transition scheme could be designed by MATLAB/Stateflow, pilots control inputs were received by MATLAB/GUI, a flight dynamics model was used for real- time flight simulation. Consequent- ly, a closed- loop platform combined with flight mode design, simulation and validation was built up. It can be further applied for flight mode design and airworthiness analysis.
