The Optimal Aiming Maneuver Control of an Aerodynamic/Thrust Vector Control Aircraft

TVC,post-stall,target aiming,Pseudospectral Method

The optimal target aiming Maneuver of an aerodynamic/Thrust Vector Control(TVC) aircraft, which is a six-degree-of-freedom trajectory problem, is researched by a two-timescale Chebyshev pseudospectral optimal control method. This problem is transformed to nonlinear programming problem and solved by the toolbox SNOPT. The simulation shows that the TVC can decrease the time of the aiming maneuver significantly by improve the efficiency of elevator, and make the optimal control different from only aerodynamic control.
