Nowadays, it becomes a hot research topic for autonomous flight of Quadrotor in the complex environment and the realization of fully autonomous flight is still a big challenge. The path planning of unmanned aerial vehicle is a key problem for its autonomous flight. For the path planning of Quadrotor, using the quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm, and made a lot of simulation and actual flight experiments. The results of simulation and actual flight experiment show that the using of QPSO for the path planning of Quadrotor is able to obtain a satisfactory result.
The Multi-signal Flow Graph (MFG) is a simple and effective system modeling methodology, widely used in testability analysis and fault diagnosis field. In order to shorten the maintenance time and reduce the influence of human factors, the MFG method was introduced, and it was used to set up the testability model of aircraft Audio Management Unit (AMU) and found the fault-testability dependency matrix and the fault-fault dependency matrix. Based on dependency matrix and real unit fault message, the trapezoidal fuzzy number algorithm was introduced, thus the new fault diagnosis method was generated. Finally, an example proves that the fault diagnosis algorithm can not only locate the fault more accurately, but also improve the maintenance efficiency.
The avionics system is a core component of the civil aircraft. To reduce the risk and cost of developing avionics system, shorten the development cycle, through the development process of avionics systems, variety of simulation and verification must be done. The bus excitation signals need to be provided for each avionics unit and the signals from each avionics unit need to be received and processed. The multilayer abstract model and organizational structure model of the bus excitation system was established. And a complete bus excitation system was designed. In this system, the ARINC429 bus signals and discrete signals for communication and navigation equipments were provided, and the signals from the equipments were received and processed. This system has been tested, and one practical application example of the system was given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
