Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back CONVOLUTION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF THE AIRCRAFT IN THE COEFFICIENT OF EXCELLENCE V.B. Terentev The method of convolution of aircraft performance indicators into a coefficient of superiority is considered. This method is necessary for calculating the quality indicator, which generalizes the functional and operational-technical quality of the aircraft and determines the comparative superiority of the compared aircraft over the analogue. Many performance indicators are collapsed into a coefficient of excellence through a generalized frequency response. This characteristic takes into account the distribution of strikes that aviation inflicts on typical enemy targets. It also takes into account possible typical conditions for the combat use of an aircraft. Using the coefficient of superiority, the superiority (disadvantage) of the effectiveness of the combat use of the aircraft is determined by the total volume of typical combat missions performed. The volume of such tasks is a typical settlement grouping of typical goals. The selection of typical targets is based on a given tactical background for the use of aviation. It is necessary to cover all their possible diversity. The paper presents the structure of the quality indicator, which has an additive-multiplicative view. The main calculations of a practical example of convolution of indicators were performed using the Mathcad software environment.
