Abstract
Modeling for a hypersonic vehicle is a great challenging task due to its tightly integrated airframe/propulsion system and flexible structure. A three-dimensional, six-degree-of-freedom, physics-based hypersonic vehicle model is being established that can capture the real physical characteristics for control studies. Flexible effects, aerodynamic loads and viscous effects are calculated using or combining variation method, shock/expansion theory and Eckert’s reference temperature method. Based on curve fit approximation of the forces and moments of the vehicle, a control-oriented six-degree-of-freedom model is then developed. The simulations illustrate that the surrogate model contain aerodynamic/structure/propulsion interactions of the vehicle, and can support designing of the model-based control.
