System composition and longitudinal motion control simulation of vehicular towed autogyro

Abstract

The towed autogyro system is composed of a electric ground vehicle, a towrope and a small unmanned autogyro aircraft. The autogyro used for towed system is a modified Durafly Auto-G2 autogyro, mainly with added parts and avionics. Mathematical models of the rotor, fuselage, horizontal tail, vertical tail, and autogyro motion are established. In case of small external disturbances, the elasticity and mass of the towrope can be ignored; a massless rigid rod model is used for its dynamic model. PID controller is used to control the autogyro's pitch angle and altitude. Simulation results show that the aircraft exhibits good control performance, when the controller is applied.
