Abstract
Flying wing aircraft adopts redundant multiple control surfaces configuration, especially the new type of drag based yaw control device is used in directional axis. Therefore, its command allocation problem has strong nonlinear and multi-axis coupling characteristics. According to the command allocation characteristics of flying wing aircraft, a multi-objective optimization based nonlinear programming method is used for command allocation, and the differences of the control surface command allocation results under different optimization targets is analyzed. The results are also carried out in the attitude tracking simulation based on flight control system designed with nonlinear dynamic inversion. It demonstrates that the different optimization targets have great and quite different impacts on flight states. It proves that the multi-objective optimization based control allocation method is a highly adaptable and flexible command allocation method for flying wing aircraft.
