This paper solves the problem of automatic taxiing direction control of carrier-based aircraft. On modern aircraft carriers, taxiing aircraft either propel themselves using their own engines or are towed by specialised tugs, which requires dedicated personnel and assets. The automatization of this process would simultaneously increase aircraft flow and decrease the number of personnel and assets required. The key challenge in the automatization of this type of process is the development of an automatic control system capable of performing the requisite tasks, which our researchers managed to do. First, the specific conditions of taxiing on-board carriers were analysed and modelled. The model of a fixed-wing aircraft best suited to this purpose was identified and the proper method of automatic control – ADRC – chosen. The algorithm used in the methodto facilitate effective direction control of a taxiing aircraft was formulated and extensively tested. The results of automatic taxiing simulation for F/A-18 aircraft have been presented. The conclusion is that the ADRC type control algorithm can ensure effective automatic control of taxiing aircraft.

Electrification is the rising trend within the sector of transportation. It is happening not solely within the automotive business as it conjointly spreads wide into alternative industry. The airline business is a different field that is targeted underneath fast change into electrification stage. In the mere future there will be marketed new systems for ground maneuvering of aircrafts. Main reason why these new devices are to maximize the effort to decrease prices and environmental impacts of aviation. Airline operations mainly ground operation is one among the important source of emissions within the airports as taxing is performed by using jet engines inefficient idle thrust. Standard aircraft transportation consumes nearly to some percentage of the world’s complete fossil fuels, that equals to nearly 13% of the whole usage of fuel for transportation. Particularly in the billowing increment from evolving countries, the consumption rate of fuel is anticipated to extend quickly. Our approach of solving this problem is by implementing electrical motors which will be integrated within the main landing gears to alter electrical drive of the airplane to perform ground operations whereas they are off main engines throughout the taxiing method thereby increasing aircraft potency, decreasing fuel consumption, value reduction, reducing emission and reduced noise.

“…Therefore, the development of an automatic system for controlling the aircraft moving on the ground makes it possible to streamline this process, the effect of which should be an improvement of both efficiency and safety of the carriedout operation. Such a system should essentially consist of a layer responsible for creating a plan of taxiing and a low-level layer (Zajdel et al, 2017), the role of which would be its implementation occurring by controlling the aircraft direction and movement speed, in line with a predetermined time sequence of the performed manoeuvre. The paper will present an initial solution concept of one of the mentioned issues -related to a problem of automatic control of the aircraft movement direction in the taxiing phase.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present a concept of an automatic directional control system of remotely piloted aerial system (RPAS) during the taxiing phase. In particular, it shows the initial stages of the control laws synthesis-mathematical model and simulation of taxiing aircraft. Several reasons have emerged in recent years that make the automation of taxiing an important design challenge including decreased safety, performance and pilot workload. Design/methodology/approach The adapted methodology follows the model-based design approach in which the control system and the aircraft are mathematically modelled to allow control laws synthesis. The computer simulations are carried out to analyse the model behaviour. Findings Chosen methodology and modelling technique, especially tire-ground contact model, resulted in a taxiing aircraft model that can be used for directional control law synthesis. Aerodynamic forces and moments were identified in the wind tunnel tests for the full range of the slip angle. Simulations allowed to compute the critical speeds for different taxiway conditions in a 90° turn. Practical implications The results can be used for the taxi directional control law synthesis and simulation of the control system. The computed critical speeds can be treated as a safety limits. Originality/value The taxi directional control system has not been introduced to the RPAS yet. Therefore, the model of taxiing aircraft including aerodynamic characteristics for the full range of the slip angle has a big value in the process of design and implementation of the future auto taxi systems. Moreover, computed speed safety limits can be used by designers and standards creators.
