Study on experiment platform for flight control system of general aircraft

Abstract

Currently, the development of general aircraft is a new hotspot in the field of domestic civil aviation. But the development of general aircraft R & D is relatively lag comparing to the military and commercial transport aircraft, and lack of validation and experiment platform for flight control system. Based on the necessity, basic design principles of the experiment platform and the test items of general aircraft, a design scheme of the general platform was proposed. The scheme was composed of the human-aircraft interface subsystem, hardware construction environment subsystem, aircraft motion simulation subsystem, signal acquisition/processing subsystem and so on. At the same time, the flight simulation and test of man-in-loop are realized. This platform is used to test the flight control system characteristics of an electric general aircraft. The test results demonstrated that the platform is stable and reliable, and can resolve the problem of general aircraft fight control system testing effectively.
