First of all, this is a static instability aircraft (CoM behind CoL ) , based on Pigpen. Thanks for funky tree, we can easily manipulate it now.
This aircraft without thrust vector control, but it can accomplish some post stall maneuver
Falling leaf
Cobra maneuver
Maintain 60° AOA
Reverse flight
Maintain AOA while pull rod
In the previous version, I tried PID control:
PID(Pitch,AngleOfAttack,X,X,X)
But the results were not so good.
Now I'm going to use a simpler one:
AngleOfAttack+PitchRate+Pitch
And then add the corresponding parameters and we're done.
The current canard code:
clamp(Trim1.5/180+(GS/(GS+1))(-AngleOfAttack/180+Pitch(clamp((TAS20/(-178)+20),0,20)+(Pitch>0?-10:0)+(AngleOfAttack>0?-AngleOfAttack:0)+20-(Pitch<0)VerticalG(1.27+(TAS>290)clamp(TAS0.0044-1.19,0.1,0.5)))/180-PitchRate/(clamp(TAS,70,700)2))+(GS/(GS+1))clamp01(abs(RollRate)-10)clamp(RollRate/(TAS3),-10/180,10/180)+Roll(20+(TAS>312?-(8/135TAS-18.49):0))/180,-15/180,65/180)
During the flight, flight control will limit the maximum G force to about 10G.
For the traditional layout of the aircraft like F16, I haven't succeeded yet.
Omg, you got a pfp!
WOW!
Are you back?
@WNP78 im gonna be beating a dead horse here, but I think the cause of the violent vibration is when the AngleOfAttack approaches 0, in my case it starts at -0.5. How do I solve this?
I had no idea you had been on this recently. Will you ever make another legend such as the P-51?
wow!
@hfusiwjf29 you could try multiplying the output of a PID by a function of the airspeed to reduce sensitivity at higher speeds.
@TheKraken3 Atleast they works right?
sigh I wanna make a cool flight control system for a future supermaneuverable plane but then they have to be complex like THIS
@Bob9998 This is the rocket trails.
@WNP78 I noticed that PID are more stable, but at high speeds they can be accompanied by violent vibrations.
Is it possible to change the aerofoils for propellers if you can change the wings to the prop aerofoils? @WNP78
@WNP78 I've been trying to make a PID that does exactly that for a while now to no avail
I made this too, when I was bored, feel free to check it out and take inspiration. It acts on the principle of keeping canards pointing into airflow, and then adding the pitch movement to that. I have a few PID integrated variants without the makebelieve aerofoil too. Edit: here
Holy cow! It works so well! This is SUPER awesome!
quite impressive!!
That’s pretty cool
