Flight Performance and Maneuverability Enhancement of a Twin Engine Fighter Aircraft Using Integrated Thrust-Vector and Aerodynamic controls, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saghafi, Fariborz (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, maneuverability enhancement of a given twin engine fighter aircraft with integrated thrust-vector and conventional aerodynamic control surfaces havebeen studied. For this purpose a nonlinear 6DOF simulation program base on a near exact mathematical model has been prepared for the aircraft, and then a thrust vectoring system for producing moments about three body axes, like that used in F/A-18, has been added to the simulation. The control method that is employed to control the aircraft in simulation environment is based on Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI). Finally the Velocity Vector Roll (VVR) maneuver has been considered as an example tostudymaneuverability enhacement. It...
