Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back INFLUENCE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SEA WAVES ON THE QUALITY OF EKRANOPLANE FLIGHT CONTROL IN THE MODE OF BENDING AROUND BIG WAVES A.Y. Knyazhsky, A.V. Nebylov, V.A. Nebylov The article is a continuation of two previous articles devoted to the method of bending around large sea waves at a low-altitude fl ight in order to minimize the true altitude of the vehicle. The results of the investigation of the dependences of the flight altitude minimization efficiency on the characteristics of sea waves are presented, the trajectories of the controlled vehicle under different fl ight conditions are analyzed, the feasibility of performing a controlled fl ight in the direction of the minimum gradient of the underlying surface is shown, under certain driving conditions. Key words: WIG, ground effect, automatic control systems, trajectory optimization, altitude minimization, confused sea, advanced transport.
