Conceptual research on modelling and control integrative design methods for hypersonic waverider

Abstract

Due to the presence of shock wave in the hypersonic fight condition, it is essential to consider enough shock wave effect on modelling and control design process, especially in the initial or conceptual research stage. The focus of this article is on modelling and control integrative design research methods for hypersonic waverider, and inversion design method is applied to build the basic shape, and that some hypersonic aerodynamics theories such as oblique-shock theory are used to calculate the aerodynamic force, so that the differential equations of the hypersonic vehicle longitudinal model are established. Furthermore, the control systems are designed to ensure fixed dynamics pressure flight for hypersonic waverider. Simulation results demonstrate that the design methods are feasible to hypersonic waverider on the conceptual research stage.
