Abstract:

To resolve the problem that engine out standard instrument departure (EOSID) is only designed manually by engineers, a sparse A* search (SAS) algorithm based on shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) data is proposed to optimize three-dimensional engine failure takeoff paths. The path planning is divided into two stages: planning space determination and path search. In planning space, SRTM grid terrain data is used, and relevant regulations of EOSID are considered to deal with search space. In path search, SAS algorithm is used to search the departure path. The takeoff performance constraints are added into traditional A* algorithm. Meanwhile, terrain and threat avoidance is finished by using terrain elevation data to produce a three-dimensional instead of a two-dimensional trajectory. The planned departure trajectory is then smoothed by the cubic B-spline curve, and obstacle clearance verification is being conducted. Simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can be used to optimize a viable EOSID three-dimensional tracking automatically.
