Abstract

The aerodynamic characteristics in roll of the missile with strake wings are always complicated, which can easily cause the non-directive deviation and oscillation and may lead to losing control of flight and impairing target accuracy. Investigations using the virtual flight testing system in 2.4 m transonic wind tunnel are conducted to study the interplay of roll instability and the longitudinal closed-loop control, and numerical simulation is also performed using the integrative method by aerodynamic/motion/control coupling. The results show that both wind tunnel test and numerical simulation predict the non-directive rolling motion and the pitch/roll coupled motion and prove that the decoupled control method can effectively inhibit the rolling motion and maintain a steady flight.
