Integrated online identification of aerodynamic and thrust parameters for air-breathing aircraft

Abstract A method for integrated online identification of aerodynamic and thrust parameters has been proposed. Firstly, a motion model of an aircraft powered by a solid rocket ramjet engine was established in the longitudinal plane. Secondly, polynomial models of aerodynamic and thrust coefficients were established for the horizontal flight segment. Then, an integrated online identification simulation of aerodynamic and thrust parameters was carried out using the unscented Kalman filter method. The results indicate that the proposed method has high identification accuracy and efficiency.
