    Abstract
  • Besides providing balancing moment for stable flight, control surface deflection will change the lift-drag ratio of the airplane, which affects the endurance performance of the airplane. Based on the traditional flight trajectory optimization which assumes that the airplane is a particle, the effects of lift-drag characteristic on aircraft endurance performance are analyzed. Increasing lift-drag ratio at climb segment, cruise segment and earlier descent segment, and decreasing lift-drag ratio at later descent segment will improve the endurance performance of the airplane. In order to obtain the optimum flight trajectory and range closer to the actual potential of airplane, a trajectory optimization method of aircraft endurance flight based upon control surface trimming is proposed. Through this method, the optimum combined trimming mode of control surfaces can be obtained for multi-control surface airplane. The optimization result of a type of aircraft indicates that, compared to single trimming modes of control surface, the optimum combined trimming mode increases the total range by 7.5% at most for the example airplane.
