Wing-In-Ground Flight Automatic Control Principles, Systems and Application Advantages

Abstract

Seaplanes and WIG-craft are supposed to take the significant part of air cargo increase without constructing new air-strips. But trouble-free flight at low altitude over disturbed sea surface and also marine landing require the application of the special methods and means of navigation and motion control which capable to solve the corresponding specific problems. Probable areas of the most effective application of vehicles with such an equipment are indicated, the criteria for control systems improving are described. The system developed for measuring flight parameters and parameters of sea-way for motion control applications is considered.
