Carrier-based aircraft ski-jump take-off control system and visual simulation

This paper addresses the ski-jump take-off control problem of the carrier-based aircraft. A nonlinear model of the carrier-based aircraft is established. PID control method is used to design the longitudinal controllers and the lateral controllers of the ski-jump take-off control system. The longitudinal controllers include the vertical speed controller, longitudinal stabilization system and velocity controller. The lateral controllers include the roll angle controller, yaw angle controller and lateral deviation controller. The influence of the flight deck movement on the take-off process is investigated. The ski-jump take-off process is simulated by Matlab/Simulink and the take-off flight control system is verified. Three dimensional visual simulation is carried out to improve the demonstration effect of the ski-jump take-off process.
