Direct Lift Control of Carrier-Based Aircraft Based on Thrust Vector

When the carrier-based aircraft in the landing stage, it will be affected by the complex sea conditions and ship wake disturbances, the accident rate at this stage is higher than ever. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft needs to quickly track the glide path command, and stabilize the angle of attack to maintain lift. Aiming at this problem, this paper designs a direct lift control method based on thrust vector. By modeling the vector engine, the physical quantities of the thrust vector acting on the aircraft are deduced, and then the direct lift landing control law of the carrier aircraft is designed. Based on MATLAB software simulation verification, the results show that the direct lift control method based on the thrust vector can better track the glide path command, realize the safe and accurate landing of the carrier-based aircraft.
