Abstract
This article described project of fuzzy logic controller witch control the scope of opening cowl flaps in Piper Seneca V engines. This allows to maintain optimum engine temperature by varying the amount of air flow through the engine compartment. The main task of controller is to reduce pilot workload during the entire flight, as well as to maintain optimum engine operating parameters in order to increase its service life. The designed fuzzy controller generates a cowl flaps control signal according to the three most important input parameters: Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT), Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI), Manifold Pressure (MP). The project uses Matlab and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox software. The authors presented the performance of the system based on twenty samples for research, which simulate position flaps. This articles presented also control surfaces, due to which it is possible to analyze controller performance. At the end showed the simulation process in the Simulink software package with the preset input values.
Highlights
Piloting the aircraft is an activity that requires extensive knowledge, skills, and high focus to techniques fly an airplane, monitoring flight data and operation of the motor, procedures and communication with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) and passing a large number of exams for pilot license
This is important in the singlepilot operations, where the amount of information that goes to the pilot and must be processed is very large and the possibility of error is large
Increasing number of membership functions give an expert more possibilities to adapt the controller to the work task
Summary
Piloting the aircraft is an activity that requires extensive knowledge, skills, and high focus to techniques fly an airplane, monitoring flight data and operation of the motor, procedures and communication with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) and passing a large number of exams for pilot license All this is in order to maximize the safety of operations [3, 7]. A preliminary draft Cowl Flaps fuzzy controller for the Piper Seneca V, which main task is to reduce pilot workload during the entire flight, as well as to maintain optimum engine operating parameters in order to increase its service life. For this purpose the parameters of the motor and flight are used. The controller is based on fuzzy logic which is successfully used in many other technical branches [4],[5][10],[16]-[20] as well as nontechnical [11]-[14]
