Low-Order GAM Admire System in Landing Preparation Phase

Abstract

In this paper the symbolic and numeric computations for the simplified GAM (Generic Aerodynamic Model) Admire system are presented . The numeric computations were performed into the MatLab environment with the aim of presenting to the reader the details of the preparation for landing of the airplane generic model. Regarding the symbolic computations that have been made it's worth to mention here the fact that they concerned the issues of stability in the manner that the trim point for the low order non-linear system was computed and an analysis of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix associated to the system, which has been evaluated in the trim point, was performed. The case of the stable longitudinal level descending flight and the case of transition to a state appropriate for the touch-down are presented. It is shown the fact that the plane can regain stability if the real moment for touch-down is missed by reentering into the stable longitudinal level descending flight (by usage of the control e).
