Description

example

computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities(modelToAnalyze) calculates longitudinal flying qualities (short-period and phugoid mode) using the linear system state-space model selected in the input dialog window and compares the results against MIL-F-8785C requirements.

computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities(modelToAnalyze,linSys) calculates longitudinal flying qualities (short-period and phugoid mode) using the linear system state-space model selected in the input dialog window. The state-space model must have at least these four states:

  • U

  • w

  • q

  • theta

or all eight of these states:

  • U

  • w

  • q

  • theta

  • v

  • p

  • r

  • phi

To create a usable state-space model, use the linearizeAirframe function.

computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities(modelToAnalyze,linSys,generatePlots) calculates longitudinal flying qualities (short-period and phugoid mode) using linear system state-space model linSys.

Calculate longitudinal flying qualities of linSys, a state space model DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel This example starts the flight control analysis template using asbFlightControlAnalysis and trims the model around the opSpecDefault operating point specification object. It then linearizes the airframe model around the opTrim operating point and calculates the short- and long-period (phugoid) mode characteristics of linSys.

asbFlightControlAnalysis('3DOF', 'SkyHoggAnalysisModel');
opSpecDefault = SkyHogg3DOFOpSpec('SkyHoggAnalysisModel');
opTrim = trimAirframe('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', opSpecDefault);
linSys = linearizeAirframe('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', opTrim)
flyingQual = computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities('SkyHoggAnalysisModel', linSys)

Compare against MIL-F_8785C requirements.

Calculate longitudinal flying qualities for the model DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel and specify a state-space, linSys. 

asbFlightControlAnalysis('6DOF', 'DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel');
opSpecDefault = DehavillandBeaver6DOFOpSpec('DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel');
opTrim = trimAirframe('DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel', opSpecDefault);
linSys = linearizeAirframe('DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel', opTrim);
lonFlyingQual = computeLongitudinalFlyingQualities('DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel', linSys);
latFlyingQual = computeLateralDirectionalFlyingQualities('DehavillandBeaverAnalysisModel', linSys);

Get the list of longitudinal flying qualities for the model.
