1 AFRL MACCCS Review of the Generic Hypersonic Vehicle PI: Active- Laboratory Department of Mechanical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology September 19, 2012, MIT AACL 1/38

2 Our Team MIT Team PI:, Director, MIT Active Laboratory Daniel Wiese (MS Student) Spent the summer at AFRL as an intern Travis Gibson, Megumi Matsutani, Benjamin Jenkins, Heather Hussain, Max Qu (PhD students; not supported on this project) AFRL Team Dr. Mike Bolender (Team Lead) Dr. Jonathan Muse UM Team Prof. Jim Driscoll Sean Torrez, Derek Dalle Advisor Dr. Eugene Lavretsky, Senior Technical Fellow, Boeing Research & Technology Project started October 2011, biweekly telecons held with AFRL, MIT AACL 2/38

3 Advanced Architectures Goal Develop algorithms, methods, and models for the control of hypersonic vehicle configurations that include combinations of control surfaces, morphing and other configuration changes, response to uncertain or ambiguous environments, and recovery from subsystem failure., MIT AACL 3/38

4 Need for x-15 x-43 Limited wind tunnel data Harsh uncertain environments Poorly known physical models Actuator anomalies Largely varying operating conditions GHV From Doman s slides, MIT AACL 4/38

5 , MIT AACL 5/38

6 Execute desired maneuvers at various points on the flight envelope: Mach 4-8, q = psf High bank angle turns Large angle of attack climbs Nominal flight condition is Mach 6 at 80,000 ft altitude, MIT AACL 6/38

7 AFRL 6 DOF GHV (Generic Hypersonic Vehicle) Aircraft assumed to be rigid Earth centered, inertial reference frame Spherical, rotating Earth Aerodynamic forces and moments determined using look-up table Aerodynamic table values based on α, β, M, and control surface deflections Engine data tabulated as a function of M, α, ϕ, q Sideslip β not accounted for in thrust tables Data tables are interpolated over based on input for given flight condition, MIT AACL 7/38

8 State Space Representation The GHV has four aerodynamic control surfaces and throttle Left and right rudder Left and right elevon Input vector U accomplished by mixing effective elevator and aileron commands to generate right and left elevon deflections U = [ δ th δ elv δ ail δ rud ] T The GHV is maneuvered by commanding V T, φ, α Assuming small linearization error, the equations of motion when linearized about a trim point X eq and U eq are given by ẋ p = A p x p + B p u where x p and u are the perturbed state and input about trimmed flight condition, MIT AACL 8/38

9 Linear : Flight Modes An open-loop analysis of the linear equations about the nominal flight condition was performed, yielding the following modes of flight. Irregular Short Period (λ 1,3 ) - an unstable mode dominated by α and q. Fast, purely real poles, with λ 1,3 ±2. Rolling (λ 2 ) - a stable mode, dominated by β and p. Fast, purely real pole at λ 2 = 4.87 Dutch-Roll (λ 4,5 ) - an unstable mode, which is a combination of a rolling, pitching, and yawing motion in flight. Phugoid (λ 6,7 ) - a neutrally stable, slow phugoid mode. Velocity (λ 8 ) - neutrally stable. Spiral (λ 9 ) - a slow, but stable mode., MIT AACL 9/38
