Analysis of the current research on the flying-wing aircraft
The development trajectory of the flying-wing aircraft was sorted out,encompassing the early evolutionary history to the current state of research,along with contemplation and forecasts regarding future directions.Meanwhile,several key control challenges associated with flying-wing aircraft were discussed,including attitude control in a wide-speed domain under nonlinear conditions,high-precision autonomous take off and landing control under multiple effect coupling,robust control issues with approximate aerodynamic models and under strong disturbances,as well as control allocation problems arising from multi-surface redundancy.Moreover,the discussion on flow control issues that were currently a focal point in flying-wing aircraft research were discussed in depth.The following research trend of active flow control technology was expounded.
