Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back CONTROL OF A GROUP OF LOW-FLYING VEHICLES NEAR THE WAVED SEA SURFACE FOR MINIMIZE THEIR ALTITUDE A.Y. Knyazhsky, A.V. Nebylov, V.A. Nebylov The paper deals with a method of control control for a group of fl ying vehicles to minimize their mean altitudes when in motion near the surface of rough sea. Using a method of mathematical simulation, effectiveness of minimizing these altitudes is defi ned, and, when surface-effects vehicles are controlled, fuel consumption is specifi ed. This control method involves laying out vehicles’ trajectories along wave troughs so as to avoid their being bumped into each other. The results of simulation have demonstrated rationales for using this method in real control systems by low flying vehicles. Keywords: Confused sea, WIG, motion control system, low altitude fly, altitude minimization.
