The George Washington University NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia USA 23681 2199 Abstract Nomenclature numerator transfer function coefficients A, B, C Improved aerodynamic mathematical models, for a, bl indicial function parameters use in aircraft simulation or flight control design, are required when representing nonlinear unsteady mean aerodynamic chord, m aerodynamics. A key limitation of conventional lift coefficient CL aerodynamic models is the inability to map frequency Cm pitching moment coefficient and amplitude dependent data into the equations of J cost function motion directly. In an effort to obtain a more general k non-dimensional frequency, k= ml/V formulation of the aerodynamic model, researchers l have been led to a parallel requirement for more characteristic length, I = _-/2 general testing methods. Testing for a more N number of frequencies comprehensive model can lead to a very time PSD power spectral density consuming number of tests especially if traditional q pitch rate, rad/sec single frequency harmonic testing is attempted. This S Laplace transform variable paper presents an alternative to traditional single- t time, sec frequency forced-oscillation testing by utilizing V Schroeder sweeps to efficiently obtain the frequency airspeed, m/sec response of the unsteady aerodynamic model.

For angle of attack, rid comparison, experimental results using the traditional unknown parameter vector single-frequency inputs are also considered. A method o-2 variance for data analysis to determine an adequate tmsteady aerodynamic model is presented.

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for a more comprehensive model can lead to a very Introduction large number of tests, especially if traditional single frequency harmonic testing is attempted. This paper Conventional aerodynamic math models for use in offers an alternative to traditional single-frequency aircraft simulation or flight control design have become testing by utilizing Schroeder 8 sweeps to obtain the increasingly deficient as aircraft maneuvering unsteady aerodynamic model. Schroeder inputs capabilities have extended the flight envelope beyond provide signals with a fiat power spectrum over a conventional boundaries. In these new flight regimes, specified frequency band with low peak-to-peak input especially cases where aircraft maneuver at high amplitudes. Amplitudes are controlled by properly angular rate or high angle of attack (c¢), nonlinear phasing each harmonic.

unsteady aerodynamic effects associated with rigid body responses have been well documented. The need The modeling of aircraft aerodynamics in planar to improve the aerodynamic mathematical model in one degree-of-freedom motion in pitch is identical to these cases is generally acknowledged 15. Although the that in Refs. [12] and [13]. For data analysis the least aerodynamic modeling problem is readily identified squares and maximum likelihood estimates were used.

and large amplitude oscillatory data in Ref. [13].

The deficiency in most aircraft simulations and Modeling and Identification models used in control design is the use of a traditional Results from wind tunnel forced-oscillation tests formulation for the aerodynamic model 6. This formulation assumes that the aerodynamic forces and for given amplitude and mean angle of attack show that moments can be represented by a differentiable the resulting combination of stability derivatives function and therefore expanded in a Taylor Series depends on the frequency of the oscillations. This expansion with only first order terms (stability and dependency contradicts the basic assumption that control derivatives) retained. Although this stability derivatives are time invariant. The effect of mathematical structure is adequate for benign portions frequency on the aerodynamic parameters was explained by Goman 9' 10 et al., at TsAGI, and by of the flight envelope, it is completely incapable of Klein11, 12 et al., at NASA LaRC, by formulating the modeling aircraft responses when nonlinear unsteady effects occur.

As an example, lift is considered in the form A key limitation of the conventional model t structure is inability to map frequency and amplitude C a (t) = C a (0) + fCL_ (t - r)c_(r)dr dependent dynamic data into the equations of motion (1) directly. In addition, this formulation only t accommodates the measurement of combined stability derivatives during wind tunnel oscillatory tests preventing separate estimates of damping and unsteady terms. Because the conventional combined terms are where Cc_ (t) and Cc_ (t) are the indicial functions, frequency, amplitude, and angle of attack dependent, simulation engineers are forced to find ad hoc methods C L (0) is the initial value of CL, I is the characteristic to incorporate unsteady effects into the equations of length, and V is the airspeed. Two assumptions were motion 5.

For the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics analysis, time histories of c_and the longitudinal Figure 5 presents estimates of unknown aerodynamic coefficients were transformed to the parameters in model Eq.

This algorithm allowed the unsteady information in the measurement data. This transform to be performed over the frequency range of identifiability issue is corroborated in Figure 4, where 0 to 2 Hz.

The estimation method used in this study is In Figure 6, for c_ < 45 degrees, estimates different from that used in References [11-13] because of C,,_ (oo) show very good agreement with estimates it provides estimates of all unknown parameters at obtained from simple finite difference calculations on different values of cc The previous methods in the static data. Increasing error bounds for estimates in References [11] and [12] assumed that the time the high and low c_ranges occur as before due to low constant, l/b1, did not change with cc In Reference [13] information content. Poor signal-to-noise ratio in the it was assumed that initial estimates of CLq (o_) were pitching moment channel also contributed to poor available from small-amplitude oscillation data to identifiability, particularly in the high c_range.

This problem was aggravated by the limited amplitude forced-oscillation data. The method was only capability of the dynamic rig to follow low-amplitude applied to cases in the range of angle of attack between oscillation commands.

The general structure proposed degrees case, estimates of C,,_ (_) match very well for the aerodynamic model has the form with values given in Ref. [13] and the 2-sigma botmds were relatively small.

In addition, parameter a tended to be very c L =-b(a)c_ + a(a)a small in the low and high c_ranges making the estimation more difficult. Estimates of bl show a trend Similar equations can be written for drag and pitching moment equations. This structure allows easy toward zero or small values for c_above 45 degrees, interpretation of the model parameters by retaining thus indicating a trend toward neutral stability. With conventional stability and control derivatives for static parameter a reduced the tmsteady effect in Cm is limited and dynamic terms. Unsteady terms are obtained by for c_ greater than 45 degrees. As mentioned previously, the estimates of bl from Ref.

This approach offers a dependence on cc Estimates of the same parameters in straightforward model for estimation and simulation.

Ref. [13] didn't reveal any dependencies on cc Below 45 degrees, estimates of bl were in the same range as Modeling unsteady aerodynamics demands estimates from both Refs. [12] and [13].

An identifiability issue of concern for the transfer The methodology in this study compared well function model structure given in Eq.

Both present and past techniques separated the static, rotary, zero shown as a diamond in the upper plot is relatively and unsteady terms and both modeled the unsteady large and has a wide frequency separation from the term as an indicial function. However, the previous other transfer function roots in the lower angle of attack techniques made different assumptions about a priori range. The pole and 1 st zero are fairly close in information. The previous methods assumed that some magnitude and become almost equal at very low angle of the parameters were known. The present approach of attack.

The previous techniques only used conventional As the pole and 1 st zero values approach equality the single-harmonic, constant-amplitude inputs requiring a model structure in Eq. (10) becomes inadequate and the substantially larger number of tests. This study estimation algorithm fails.
