Detailed Description
The present invention is described in further detail at below.
The invention relates to a verification method for takeoff performance of a seaplane, which is used for accelerating the seaplane from a static state to a water leaving speed V when a sectional test is carried out for flyingGWWhen the water craft is in use, the pull rod raises to keep the attitude of the water craft within a stable range, and the soaring speed V is achievedLOFWWhen the airplane completely leaves the water but flies close to the water surface, the speed reaches VEFWTime critical start-stop, then accelerate to decision speed V1WAnd continuously accelerates to the head-up speed VRWWhen the pull rod is raised, the airplane climbs to a safe height, and the flying speed is not less than the safe speed V at the moment2And then continue climbing. By the verification method, the takeoff safety of the seaplane can be effectively guaranteed, and a basis is provided for airplane design.
The method for verifying the takeoff performance of the seaplane comprises the following steps of dividing each phase and determining each characteristic speed in the method for verifying the takeoff performance of the seaplane, wherein the division of each phase and the determination of each characteristic speed are not absolutely or artificially and subjectively selected, but are determined by combining aviation flight safety standard requirements through flight tests and aerodynamic requirements according to the actual flight condition of the seaplane strictly, so that the requirements are as follows:
1) the segmentation must be well defined and there must be clearly discernable changes in form, power (thrust) and speed;
2) the weight, shape, power (thrust) of the aircraft must remain constant in each segment and must correspond to the most critical conditions prevailing in that segment;
3) flight path must be based on aircraft performance without ground effects;
4) the takeoff trajectory data must be checked for several consecutive demonstrative takeoffs (until the aircraft departs from the ground effect and its speed reaches a stable point) to ensure that the piecewise synthetic trajectory is conservative with respect to the consecutive trajectory.
5) The slope of the aerial portion of the water surface takeoff track must be positive at each point to ensure that the altitude is rising during each takeoff phase.
In a certain embodiment, the verified object is a water amphibious aircraft with a takeoff weight of 50 tons, and in specific implementation, referring to fig. 1, the method for determining the takeoff speed of the water aircraft gives a water surface takeoff flight path in a segmented form, and the specific process is as follows:
