Abstract:
An optimal trajectory for flight through Microburst wind shears is designed which minimizes the maximum deviation from desired trajectory With respect to optimal control methods. The suitable performance of airplane retrieval in abort landing and landing phases at microburst encounter is achieved by influence of mentioned design in worse case of wind fluctuation and variation. 3D Vicroy microburst model is selected to investigate its effects on 6 DOF jet engine aircraft EOMs. Above optimal control problem is solved using gradient method of SD . Furthermore, sensitivity of optimal trajectory to lateral and longitudinal location of microburst, microburst parameters, throttle setting and initial flight conditions is analyzed too
