空中加油已经成熟应用超过半个世纪，但其建模与控制技术仍是航空界的研究热点与难点之一。综合大量文献，回顾了空中加油的发展历程和战略价值所在，比较研究了2种加油方式各自的优劣，总结了近年开展的系统建模和控制相关的研究成果。基于硬式加油与软式加油的功能互补之效，提出了借助研制大型运输机的契机发展硬式加油技术的观点。通过研究国内已经开展的相关工作及其不足之处，论证了开展系统建模与控制专项研究的必要性与积极意义。结合硬式加油系统的特点，提出了建模时应该综合考虑系统多刚体、多构型、强扰动与不确定性、受弹性形变与弹性振荡影响等特点，并提出了与之对应的伸缩管姿态控制、对接状态应力自动补偿、对接过程协同控制、抑制弹性振荡影响、半物理实验平台开发等关键问题。

Although aerial refueling has been applied in war for more than half century, research of system modeling and control issues is still a hot area of aeronautical technologies. Based on a large amount of literature, the value and the development history of aerial refueling, advantages and disadvantages of two main refueling methods, and achievements of system modeling and control technologies during the past few years are reviewed. A viewpoint that boom refueling should be developed with the development of tanker aircraft is proposed, considering the advantages that hose-and-drogue refueling does not have. Domestic research on boom refueling and its shortcomings are summarized, and then the necessity and significance of system modeling and control research are discussed. According to the characteristics of boom refueling system, it is proposed that features such as multi-rigid-body, multi-structure, system uncertainty, influence of strong disturbance, influence of elastic oscillation and elastic deformation, should be considered during modeling. Finally, several control problems, such as boom attitude control, boom load alleviation, cooperative control of docking process, suppression of elastic oscillation and development of hardware-in-loop testing platform are discussed.
