Description

The laser of band vector spray advances aircraft
Technical field
The present invention relates to aerospace laser and advance the field, the incoherent laser of particularly a kind of beam direction and thrust direction advances aircraft.
Background technology
It is to utilize the antagonistic force of the HTHP plasma flow of superlaser and the generation of working medium mutual action to promote the new ideas Push Technology that aircraft advances that laser advances.Compare with traditional chemical propulsion system, laser propulsion system has three characteristics: at first aircraft need not self-contained energy supplyystem, and aircraft institute energy requirement can be provided by the superlaser that long-distance transmissions is come; Secondly, the energy that laser emission provided has been broken through the restriction of combustion temperature, and specific impulse is very high; At last, laser propulsion system requires low to working medium, can not adopt traditional chemical rocket propellant as working medium.
Only there is at present U.S. Myrabo to design complete laser and advances aircraft-bareboat, and it has been applied for patent (Myrabo L N, Laser propelled vehicle, US Patent 6488233B1,2002).Bareboat can mainly comprise parts such as front portion, rear portion and ring jacket with air-breathing mode and the work of rocket pattern.The front portion is dome-shaped, and its edge can be used as engine inlet port.The rear portion parabola that to be a parabola form around the straight line rotation that is parallel to axis of symmetry, but both reflector laser of parabola laser is focused on the loop wire, can be used as the gas expansion surface again, become the part of plug nozzle.The ring jacket and the rear portion paraboloid of revolution are formed plug nozzle jointly.Plug nozzle is the keystone configuration that produces thrust.The focus lamp and the jet pipe of bareboat are shared, have following shortcoming: (1) laser beam must overlap with the bareboat axis of symmetry, focuses on otherwise can influence laser; (2) high-velocity particles in the jet pipe fails to be convened for lack of a quorum and washes away jet pipe, destroys to focus on minute surface; (3) jet pipe and focus lamp are difficult to accomplish optimization in design, can attend to one thing and lose sight of another; (4) thrust is parallel with the bareboat axis of symmetry, does not possess the thrust vectoring control ability.
It is " clock " shape aircraft that another kind of simple laser advances aircraft.Aircraft propulsion mainly is made up of the bell jet pipe, and the jet pipe inside face is the face that a parabola forms along its axis of symmetry rotation.The jet pipe inside face is done polishing, with reflector laser.The jet pipe inside face will be parallel to the laser that nozzle axis injects and focus on the parabolic focus place, and working medium produces detonation wave to produce thrust in the jet pipe by puncturing.The shortcoming of this aircraft and the shortcoming of bareboat are similar.
People such as Russia Ageichik have proposed the notion of " empty day laser propelling motor " (ASLPE, Airspace Laser Propulsion Engine).The aircraft that constitutes by ASLPE make with function on the optical unit of propulsion system is separated with driving engine.Laser beam is injected rotational paraboloid mirror after through the light beam corrective system of being made up of two sheets of mirrors, and laser beam becomes the ring focused beam after reflection.Before light beam focuses on, there is an annular arrangement light deflector that light beam is focused on by ring and changes into point focusing, its focus is in engine nozzle.Aircraft thrust direction and beam direction are irrelevant, have the thrust vectoring control ability.But, opening being arranged to introduce laser on the jet pipe of ASLPE, this can bring two problems to aircraft: (1) working medium is overflowed from the jet pipe opening part, brings pollution for the aircraft miscellaneous part; (2) raising of jet pipe opening limited flight device thrust.
2006, Tang Zhiping proposed the separation type omnibearing take-over laser booster and has applied for patent (China national patent of invention, publication number CN 1970389A).The separation type omnibearing take-over laser booster comprises optical system, propellant tank, combustion chamber and jet pipe.One side of combustion chamber has transparent circular window, and laser beam converges and passes through window through optical system and gets into the combustion chamber center.Propellant in the combustion chamber is lighted the back by laser and is produced thrust forward from the jet pipe ejection.The major defect of this thruster is that the transparent circular window environment of living in of combustion chamber is abominable, should bear the calorific effect that light laser produces, and stand washing away and heat transfer of high-temperature fuel gas again, so window material damages easily.
Summary of the invention
The technical matters that the present invention will solve is; Defective to the prior art existence; For the flight of space launch and proximity space provides a kind of thrust direction uncorrelated with beam direction, driving engine is pollution-free, the laser propelling aircraft low to the laser incidence window performance requriements of thrust chamber.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: said laser advances aircraft to comprise capacity weight and control instrument cabin 1, propellant tank 2, plane mirror 3, concave paraboloid catadioptre 4, convex paraboloid catadioptre 5, high-transmission rate plate glass 6, laser propelling motor 7.Capacity weight and control instrument cabin 1 are positioned at the head of aircraft, and propellant tank 2 is positioned at the aircraft middle part, and is adjacent with capacity weight and control instrument cabin 1.Concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 is positioned at the position after the aircraft belly leans on, both coaxial lines and focus with convex paraboloid catadioptre 5.Be high-transmission rate flat glass 6 below convex paraboloid catadioptre 5, be circular flat glass, diameter is more bigger than concave paraboloid catadioptre, is embedded in aircraft belly housing.At the top of concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 are plane mirrors 3.
High-transmission rate flat glass 6 can let superlaser through and prevent extraneous airflow influence concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 and convex paraboloid catadioptre 5.The laser propelling motor 7 that is positioned at the aircraft afterbody introduced laser by plane mirror 3.
Wherein, concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 is positioned at the aircraft belly with convex paraboloid catadioptre 5, and both coaxial lines and focus can be dwindled the hot spot along the straight beam of axis incident, but do not changed beam direction.The diameter of concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 is a bit larger tham the laser beam diameter of incident, and the diameter of convex paraboloid catadioptre 5 then can determine the beam diameter after narrow the contracting.In aircraft, concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 is a movable part with convex paraboloid catadioptre 5, and certain interval is arranged between the miscellaneous part.Concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 keeps relative position constant (coaxial confocal point) with convex paraboloid catadioptre 5 when rotating, the angle between its axis and high-transmission rate flat glass 6 normals can reach about 30 degree.In the aircraft flight process, concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 can constantly rotate to point to beam direction with convex paraboloid catadioptre 5.In order to let aircraft keep good aerodynamic configuration to shield the influence of outer gas stream simultaneously, high-transmission rate flat glass 6 is housed at the aircraft belly to the aircraft interior optics.
After the laser beam that sends from ground based laser converged through large diameter concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 and convex paraboloid catadioptre 5, shortening narrow laser into spot diameter was tens of centimetres light beam.Plane mirror 3 can change the direction of the narrow light beam that contracts, and makes light beam get into laser propelling motor 7.Light beam gets into the engine thrust chamber through the planar lens 8 at driving engine top, has taper parabolic reflector 9 and convex surface light deflector 10 that laser is focused in the thrust chamber.Propellant is formed plasma by laser breakdown near engine nozzle throat.Propellant through LASER HEATING advances along jet pipe ejection generation thrust promotion aircraft.
Plane mirror 3 can move along the axis of symmetry of laser propelling motor 7 aiming at the narrow beam and focus that contracts, and can adjust attitude with the narrow beam reflection that contracts to the engine thrust chamber.In concave paraboloid catadioptre 4 and convex paraboloid catadioptre 5 rotation processes, can let the position of laser propelling motor 7 remain unchanged through the position and the angle of regulating plane mirror 5.When thrust direction need change with the control of realization thrust vectoring, can realize through rotational plane catadioptre 5 and laser propelling motor 7.During rotation, the axis of laser propelling motor 7 and plane mirror 5 are positioned at straight line all the time, and the angle between the axis of laser propelling motor 7 and the aircraft longitudinal axis reaches 10 to 15 degree.The somewhat larger in diameter of plane mirror 3 and planar lens 8 is in laser facula, and the power density of laser is less than the damage threshold of planar lens 8.
The propulsion system of aircraft can adopt monomotor propulsion system or twin-engined propulsion system.In twin-engined propulsion systems, the narrow laser beam that contracts at first is divided into two bundle laser by wedge spectroscope 11, introduces laser propelling motor 7 through plane mirror 3 respectively then.
The advantage of this aircraft is: the big I of (1) minute surface is decided according to the size and the power of laser beam; To the laser incidence window performance requriements low (2) of thrust chamber with thrust vectoring direction and beam direction decoupling zero; Eliminated the restriction of beam direction, realized thrust vectoring control thrust vectoring; (3) aircraft has good aerodynamic configuration; (4) comformability is strong, and the also available pulse laser of both available continuous wave laser is that aircraft provides energy.
