  • 基于可达性理论,推导出风速依赖的可飞行路径角范围
  • 在真实风场下验证了飞行速度始终被限制在安全区间
  • 适合需要高安全性的自主滑翔飞行任务

自主固定翼飞行正成为空中机器人的重要能力,适用于小型无人机与大型先进空中交通系统。在无动力飞行中,空速仅通过势能与动能转换调节,对引导指令极为敏感,尤其在有风条件下。本文提出一种基于可行性分析的空速保护机制,针对稳定风场下的地面参考引导,明确空速演化依赖于指令飞行路径角。利用Nagumo切线条件,推导出保证空速安全包络前向不变的闭式解,该解为风速相关。将这些约束嵌入离线二次规划框架,用于认证非爬升飞行的空速安全机动基元。使用高保真无动力固定翼模型,在由认证机动基元构成的滑翔轨迹上进行验证,证明空速严格受限。未来工作将拓展至非稳态风场和飞行实验。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous fixed-wing flight is becoming a key capability in aerial robotics, enabling sensing, mobility, and contingency operations across both small-scale Uncrewed Aircraft Systems and large-scale Advanced Air Mobility. During unpowered operation in fixed-wing platforms, airspeed is regulated solely through potential-kinetic energy exchange, making airspeed dynamics highly sensitive to guidance commands, particularly under wind. This paper presents a viability-based airspeed protection for ground-referenced guidance in steady wind, where airspeed evolution depends explicitly on the commanded flight path angle. Leveraging Nagumo's tangency condition, we derive a closed-form, wind-dependent characterization of admissible guidance commands that guarantees forward invariance of a safe airspeed envelope. These conditions are embedded within an offline quadratic programming framework to certify airspeed-safe maneuver primitives for non-ascending flight at the guidance level. The approach is validated using a high-fidelity unpowered fixed-wing aircraft model on gliding trajectories formed by concatenating certified maneuver primitives, demonstrating strict airspeed boundedness. Future work will address unsteady wind fields and flight experiments.
