vehicle for control and navigation research after the recent expansion in the use of
unmanned aerial vehicles for data collection and deployment in hazardous environments.
The unmanned aerial vehicle purchased from the University of Sydney during the 1990's
is a Brumby MK I.[1] The Brumby Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) provides an ideal
platform for aircraft control and navigation research. The Brumby UAV has a delta wing
planform with twin vertical stabilizers, the contour of the fuselage is that of a cylinder
with a blunted ogive nose. This makes creating a Missile DATCOM model a relatively
straight forward task. The delta wing also contains the Ailevons (aileron and elevator
control on one control surface). The change in deflection angles create changes in the lift,
drag, roll, and pitch coefficients of the main lifting planform. This causes the angle-of-
attack and side-slip angle to be coupled with the deflection angles of the ailevons. This
creates a nonlinear aircraft model, that is an ideal system for a non-linear control research
platform.
1.2 Motivation
vehicle. Methods such as system identification require data to be taken while the vehicle
is operating over a predefined envelope. This method requires that a physical model be
constructed and operated in the environment for which the aerodynamic model is desired.
This can be costly and very time consuming. It may not be possible to fly the model over
all the desired flight envelopes. Other options such as wind tunnel data also require that a
model be built and tested. Traditionally, full sized aircraft must be scaled down to meet
21
the size constraints of the wind tunnel. Some unmanned UAV's are small enough to fit
inside the wind tunnel at full scale. Since the model is full sized and full functioning,
forces and moments as well as derivatives for control surface deflection angles may be
measured. All of these methods require that a new model be constructed, and retested for
environmental conditions without the cost or inconvenience associated with wind tunnel
testing. CFD prediction codes can generate aerodynamic coefficients in a shorter time
period and at a lower monetary cost. While computational fluid dynamic prediction codes
may not capture all the nonlinearities of the aerodynamics, the model is still valid and
useful.
aerodynamic forces and moments using computational fluid dynamics prediction codes.
These codes allow the user to create software models of the aircraft and generate the
forces and moments using only a computer. These mathematical models can then be used
to analyze the dynamic behavior of the aircraft. These models allow the control system
engineer to create compensation schemes that will cause the aircraft to have more
desirable dynamics. For example the aircraft may not respond to inputs fast enough, there
1.4 Objectives
The reader of this thesis will be able to generate aerodynamic force and moment
coefficient data using USAF Missile DATCOM. The reader will be exposed to the basic
definitions and terminology of USAF Missile DATCOM. This data will then be
integrated into a six degree-of-freedom Simulink simulation where the model will be
analyzed for static as well as dynamic stability. The reader should have an understanding
of the basic concepts required for modeling and simulation of an aircraft using
The control system engineer must create an accurate model of a mechanical system
aircraft typically requires a scale model of the aircraft be built and placed in a wind
tunnel where forces are measured. It may be difficult for researchers in aircraft control
system design to gain access to a wind tunnel or be able to fund the building of a scale
model. Computational fluid dynamics allows the researcher the ability to model the
aircraft without the trouble or expense of creating scale models or obtaining testing time
in a wind tunnel. This thesis will cover the topic of creating an aerodynamic model using
In order to use the CFD prediction code the user must understand the dimensions and
variables that are needed to create the model using USAF Missile DATCOM. The
physical dimensions of the aircraft are required, such as the lengths of the planforms, the
23
dimensions of the control surfaces, the location of the center-of-mass to name a few. This

Chapter 4. These equations describe the effect of the forces and moments on the aircraft.
The Missile DATCOM model of the Brumby UAV will be simulated, analyzed, and
subjected to perturbations from equilibrium in Chapter 5. The model will first be trimmed
for straight wings level flight. Wings level flight is typical of an aircraft that is traversing
between way points. The eigenvalues of the straight wings level flight trim condition will
be evaluated as well as an explanation of the dynamics of the aircraft. The model will
then be trimmed for a coordinated turn with a constant rate of climb. Finally, the Brumby
UAV model will be subjected to input perturbations and the aircraft dynamics will be
observed.

Overview
terminology and variables needed to create a model of the Brumby Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) in Chapter 3 will be discussed. The reader is directed to Reference [4]
for more information on other geometric possibilities or for an expanded list of options
User vehicle geometric configuration and flight condition specifications are input
to Missile DATCOM using a text file. Missile DATCOM parses the input file looking for
only a minimal number of Namelists be used to define the vehicle geometry. Over-
Missile DATCOM.[4] Missile DATCOM allows the user to set the units that will be
used for the calculations, as well as managing additional output data that can be
calculated through the use of control cards. Control cards are valid only in the case in
which they appear unless the user saves the current case using the SAVE control card.
This allows the user to use different control cards for different cases. A list of control
cards used when creating the model in Chapter 3 is given in Table 2.1. Missile DATCOM
will generate output data based on the commands in the input file that is used. The output
file will contain aerodynamic coefficients, and may also contain dynamic damping
the geometry of the vehicle in question. Let the center of gravity lie inside the vehicle and
let it be at the intersection of the longitudinal plane of symmetry and the lateral plane of
symmetry if it exists. Then Missile DATCOM designates the positive x-axis as being
positive increasing aft from the tip of the nose, the positive y-axis as increasing along the
starboard wing, and the positive z-axis as increasing in a manner that it obeys the right
hand rule. This coordinate system is shown in Figure 2.1. Missile DATCOM allows the
user to place the origin of the coordinate system a specified distance from the tip of the
then Missile DATCOM will use the default value of 0.0 units of distance.
Missile DATCOM allows the user to specify the flight conditions in namelist
FLTCON, for which the aerodynamic data will be calculated. The user places the angles-
of-attack values in the ALPHA array, and the Mach values in the MACH array. The size
27
of the MACH array is stored in NMACH and the size of the ALPHA array is stored in
NALHPA. For each vehicle scenario that Missile DATCOM executes, aerodynamic
coefficients will be computed for all combinations of defined Mach and angle-of-attack.
A matrix will be created for each aerodynamic coefficient with NMACH columns and
NALPHA rows. Only one side-slip angle can be run for each case and is stored in the
BETA variable. In order to simplify data input, only a core set of flight condition data
needs to be input by the user. For the model that will be generated in Chapter 3, only
values for Mach and altitude are required. From these values Missile DATCOM will
calculate the internal variable values needed to perform the aerodynamic calculations. A
list of variables from namelist FLTCON that are used are given in Table 2.2.
Missile DATCOM also requires that parameter values be specified by the user for
coefficients that have been non-dimensionalized with respect to the reference values. The
reference variables used for the model in Chapter 3 are listed in Table 2.3. Typically, the
28
values used for SREF, LREF, and LATREF on a traditional aircraft are wing planform
area, mean wing chord length, and wing span length respectively.
2.2 Fuselage
Missile DATCOM allows for axially symmetric or elliptical body shapes. These
body shapes can either be input using body diameter and length if the body has a
continuous radius along the body, and trailing nozzle sections, or the body geometry can
flexibility. The variables used in creating the axial body model in Chapter 3 are listed in
Table 2.4.
29
Traditional aircraft typically have a geometry that consists of: a body, a wing,
vertical and horizontal stabilizing and control surfaces. Missile DATCOM describes
each planform surface as a finset that is located at a defined position on the body. Missile
DATCOM allows for four finsets, each finset can contain a total of eight panels. Using
this method, the fin geometry must only be defined once. Then the position of each fin on
the body must be specified. Missile DATCOM will not check to see if Finset1 is fore or
aft of Finset2 when it performs an error analysis. Placing Finset2 fore of Finset1 will
cause errors in the interference flow calculations from one fin to the next. Finset1 will be
the foremost finset, which on a traditional aircraft without canards will be the wing
planform. We will start out by describing the planform geometry and then describe the
position of each panel around the body. A basic set of variables are listed in Table 2.5.
30
It is important to note that when a fin panel PHIF value is greater than 180
degrees, see Figure 2.4, and has a SECTYPE of NACA (National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics), the airfoil of the fin will also be rotated. This rotation will cause a
positive angle-of-attack to be seen by both the port and starboard panels. The NACA
control card uses the form NACA 1-4-2412, where the first number designates the finset,
in this case FINSET1. The second number designates the NACA series of airfoil, for this
example this is a NACA 4 series. The last number is the NACA airfoil section
designation. For a NACA 4 series the first number is the camber in percent of the chord
31
length, the second is the location of maximum camber aft from the leading edge in tens of
percent of the chord length, and the last two digits are the maximum chord thickness
locate at the point of maximum camber. Figure 2.4 is an example of an airfoil that has 2%
If the wing has a continuous sweep along its leading edge it is possible to only
define XLE for the root chord of the wing. Missile DATCOM only requires that XLE(1)
be defined if the user inputs the sweep back angle for each span station using the SWEEP
namelist. Missile DATCOM will determine that the planform has continuous sweep
between semi-span stations and will calculate the XLE values from one semi-span station
to the next. In order to place the fin panels directly on the body mold line, start the semi-
span at 0.0 and allow each additional element in the SSPAN array to be the distance from
the body mold line to that semi-span station. By setting the first semi-span location at
zero Missile DATCOM will place the panel directly on the body. Care must be taken in
defining SSPAN(1) to be a distance other than the body mold line, SSPAN(1) = 0.0. The
user must ensure that the panel is attached to the body, otherwise there may be a gap
between the body and the root chord of the panel. Missile DATCOM will not check to
see if the panel is attached to the body. Missile DATCOM will not allow cracked panels
or the airfoil shape to change over the panel. In Section 2.6 the method for placing
described in Section 2.3. For this reason the reader is referred to Section 2.3 for details on
creating horizontal stabilizing planforms. In this section horizontal stabilizers that do not
lie in the same horizontal plane as the wing planform will be defined. It is possible to
error analysis used in Missile DATCOM does not check to see if a finset is actually
located on the body, it is possible to create what is known as a T-tail configuration. This
is accomplished by using two panels and setting the two PHIF values to 0.0 degrees.
Then set the SSPAN(1) value to be the distance from the center of the body to the root
chord of the horizontal stabilizer. This value would be 0.0 in most cases so that the root
chord would be located on the x-z plane. However, if the SSPAN(1) value is 0.0 Missile
34
DATCOM will place the root chord on the body. This means that the SSPAN(1) value
must be arbitrarily small so that it will reside as near as possible to the x-z plane. The
starboard fin will have a GAM value of 90.0 degrees and the port fin will have a GAM
value of -90.0 degrees. Figure 2.6 contains an illustration of the variables associated with
can be accomplished in a manner similar to the method discussed in Section 2.3, with the
exception that the fin planforms are located symmetrically about the x-z plane, and
In the case of a single vertical stabilizer NPANEL would have a value of 1.0 and both
PHIF and GAM would be 0.0 degrees. This situation would indicate that the fin planform
is aligned with the z-axis and that the dihedral angle is zero. These twin vertical
stabilizers can also be placed off of the body and onto another panel, using a similar
method as described in the previous section. The first element in the SSPAN array is the
distance from the centerline of the body to the location of the root chord of the stabilizer.
To place the stabilizers on another planform the PHIF angles must be the same, e.g. the
PHIF starboard wing is equal to the PHIF angle of the starboard stabilizer. This ensures
that the root chord is placed on the existing panel. The roll angle PHIF would contain
values of 90.0 degrees for the starboard fin and -90.0 degrees for the port fin. The
dihedral values GAM would be used to roll the fins into vertical positions. This would be
accomplished by setting the starboard GAM value to be -90.0 degrees and the port GAM
It is often useful and at times necessary to know the contribution of the deflection
angles of the control surfaces to the aerodynamic coefficients. To determine the size of
each control surface on the fin panel, care must be given in defining the fin. First, the
semi-span stations should be defined for all control surface demarcation points along the
planform. It is necessary to define semi-span, chord, and flap chord to fin chord ratio
laterally for each control surface. For a fin planform having a single flap located between
the root and tip chord, it is necessary to define four semi-station points, four chord values
at those station points, and four flap chord to fin chord ratio values. In this particular
example, shown in Figure 2.6, the break between the flap and the chord does not lie on
either the root or the tip chord. Because the length of the flap at the root and tip of the
37
wing is zero, both the first and last values of the CFOC array will contain zeros. The
entire stabilizer can be made a movable control surface by setting the values of CFOC to
1.0. This indicates to Missile DATCOM that the flap chord is the total length of the fin
In order to set the control surface deflection, Missile DATCOM uses the DEFLCT
namelist that can been seen in Table 2.6. Only the control surfaces that have been defined
should have their deflection values set, any control surface not defined by the user will
have its respective deflection angle set to zero internally by Missile DATCOM. Missile
DATCOM will perform calculations over all eight panels in each of the four finsets. Any
undefined panel is assigned zero length and does not contribute to the aerodynamic
coefficients being calculated. Assuming the panel is placed with the root chord located on
the body and the fin is perpendicular to the x-axis, then the deflection angles are defined
as positive if they induce a negative body axis rolling moment. A negative body axis
rolling moment is defined as counterclockwise when viewed along the x-axis looking
forward toward the nose. This is valid for all flaps regardless of orientation. The
deflection angle for flaps that are not located on the body are defined as if the fins are
vehicle again in a new case while only changing one value. An example would be to
handle more than one side-slip angle. Even though Missile DATCOM will only consider
one side-slip value per case, by running multiple cases and only changing the side-slip
39
value in each case Missile DATCOM will generate data for those side-slip angles. This
becomes especially useful when data for different control surface deflection angles are
desired. By saving the previous vehicle geometry using the SAVE control card, then
overwriting the deflection angle, Missile DATCOM will calculate the aerodynamic
from control cards. Only a control card should be placed in the first character of a column
in the input file. Namelists should allow one space for the first column and should should
then start and end with a dollar sign ($). Variables in a namelist are separated using
commas and a comma must precede the terminating dollar sign of the namelist. A row
can only contain eighty characters including symbols and blank spaces. Values assigned
to variables must always contain a decimal point, for a value of zero the leading zero is
necessary, while a zero after the decimal point is not. In order for the case to be executed
a NEXT CASE control card must be inserted at the end of each case, including the last
case. Table 2.7 gives a brief explanation of the input and output files created and required

cards as well as the namelists that are used to describe the vehicle. The for005.dat file for

In this section an example missile from the Missile DATCOM user manual will
be presented.[4] This particular missile is axially body symmetric with four panels
equally distributed around the body. The dimensions are in inches (DIM IN). The
envelope in consideration is MACH values 0.4, 0.8, 2.0 (MACH= 0.4, 0.8, 2.0) and
angles of attack -8.00, -4.00, 0.00, 4.00, 8.00 (ALPHA=-8.00, -4.00, 0.00, 4.00, 8.00) at
an altitude of zero meters (ALT=0.0) with a side-slip angle of zero degrees (BETA=0.0).
The center of gravity lies 39.0 inches from the origin which is located at the tip of the
nose (XCG=39.0). The body of the missile is 54.0 inches long (LCENTR=54.0) and 12.0
(TYPE=OGIVE) and is 12.0 inches long (LNOSE=12.0) and has a base diameter of 12.0
42
inches (DNOSE=12.0). The missile has four fins that are evenly distributed around the
body. The Fins have a NACA airfoil shape with a NACA number of 0310
(SECTYP=NACA and NACA-1-4-0310). The leading edge of the fin at the first semi-
span locate is 64.0 inches from the nose (XLE=64.0).The semi-span values of the fins are
0.0 at the root and 9.0 inches at the tip (SSPAN=0.0, 9.0,). The chord length at the root is
14.0 inches and 8.0 inches at the tip (CHORD=14.0, 8.0). The sweep angle of the fins are
0.0 degrees and are measured with respect to the segment trailing edge (SWEEP=0.0 and
STA=1.0). There are four fin panels located at 45.0, 135.0, 225.0, 315.0 degrees around
the body (NPANEL=4.0, PHIF=45.0, 135.0, 225.0, 315.0, GAM=0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00).
The fins have a control flap with a a constant cord to flap ratio of 0.25 that starts at the
second station point and runs to the tip of the chord (CFOC=0.0, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25). Data
must also be generated for a condition where the two fins that are facing horizontal have
a deflection that would cause the missile to pitch nose up (SAVE, NEXT CASE,
CASEID PANEL DEFLECTION, $DEFLCT DELTA1=5.0, 0., 0., -5.0, $, SAVE, NEXT

through 2.33. Figures 2.34 and 2.35 show listings for the for003.dat and for021.dat files

The Brumby UAV is an ideal aerospace vehicle for using Missile DATCOM to
create an aerodynamic model. The Brumby UAV has many characteristics similar to a
missile such as its geometry and having a constant diameter body cross-section. The
Brumby UAV model will benefit from the very broad flight envelope allowed by Missile
DATCOM. A broad flight envelope makes the model useful for studying many different
The Brumby UAV was to be modeled under expected flight conditions. Data was
generated for the Brumby UAV over a range of -5.0 to 35.0 degrees of angle-of-attack(
). The values vary from -5.0 to 0.0 in 5.0 degree increments and from 0.0 to
20.0 degrees in 2.0 degree increments, to allow for nonlinearities in the aerodynamic
coefficients. The values from 20.0 to 35.0 degrees were taken in 5.0 degree
increments. The maximum velocity for the Brumby UAV is approximately 100 miles per
hour. The sea level speed of sound is approximately 1117 feet per second. The maximum
Brumby UAV velocity would be approximately 146.67 feet per second. This would
correspond to a Mach value of approximately 0.13. The smallest Mach value that
Missile DATCOM will calculate is 0.01. This creates a lower velocity boundary of
approximately 7.6 miles per hour, assuming sea level speed of sound. Table 3.1 includes
coefficients. The reference values for longitudinal length, lateral length, and area are
LREF, LATREF, SREF. The reference values used for the Brumby UAV are the surface
area of the wing planform area, the mean aerodynamic chord length, and the wing span
length and are stored in SREF, LREF, LATREF. Missile DATCOM calculates the
position of the aerodynamic center of pressure with respect to the center of gravity along
the x-axis and is represented as the variable Xcp value. The aerodynamic center of
pressure is defined as the point on the infinitely thin airfoil section where the
approximately 0.25 c aft from the leading edge of the airfoil section for commonly used
airfoil sections at subsonic speeds.[5] The actual aerodynamic center of pressure changes
DATCOM calculates the center of pressure for the Brumby UAV to be 0.90 meters aft
from the tip of the nose. Therefore, the center of gravity must be approximately 0.90
meters or less aft from X0, where X0 is at the tip of the nose cone, in order for the
Brumby UAV to be longitudinally statically stable. For longitudinal static stability the
center of pressure resides slightly aft of the center of gravity, such that the vehicle can be
trimmed to be statically stable by use of the horizontal control surface or elevator. This
also causes the vehicle to pitch nose over in the event that the free stream velocity is zero
during flight. Typically, this is considered during the design of the airframe and includes
the placement of equipment about the airframe in order to maintain the desired center of
gravity location. The values used in the REFQ namelist variables are presented in Table
3.2. The center-of-gravity was chosen to be at 0.85 meters from the tip of the nose.
Missile DATCOM shows the center-of-pressure to be located at 0.90 meters from the tip
of the nose. A center of gravity location of 0.85 meters from the tip of the nose will create
static stability in the dynamics of the aircraft. Aircraft designers consider the location of
the center of gravity during the design of the airframe. The aircraft designer locates the
components of the aircraft, such as the airframe, power plant, and instrumentation, such
3.2 Fuselage
The fuselage of the Brumby UAV is a cylinder with a blunted ogive nose cone.
The body of the Brumby UAV will be modeled in Missile DATCOM using the Axially
Symmetric namelist (ASYM). This will allow the body geometry to be defined using the
least number of variables. The body could have been defined at longitudinal station
points, which would have required additional measurements and should yield similar
results.
The longitudinal point of reference, X0, was set to zero. This sets the origin of the
Missile DATCOM coordinate system at the tip of the nose on the Brumby UAV.[1]
Setting the origin of the coordinate system at the tip of the nose simplifies the
The main lifting surface planform of the Brumby UAV is a delta wing that is
located on the xy-plane. This planform is the foremost finset and is therefore labeled
FINSET1. The leading edge is located aft from the nose at a length of 0.97 meters. The
wing is composed of two panels located at 90.0 degrees and -90.0 degrees from the
positive z-axis. The wing had no measurable dihedral and therefore the GAM values are
0.0. The airfoil section was determined to be symmetric with an approximate chord
thickness of 10% located 30% aft from the leading edge, which is an airfoil section of
NACA 0310. The Brumby UAV wing planform airfoil section is modeled in Missile
The Brumby UAV has twin vertical stabilizers located on the wing planform
approximately 0.2660 meters from the body mold line. The twin vertical stabilizers are
aft of the wing planform and are defined as FINSET2 in Missile DATCOM. In order to
place the panels perpendicular to the wing panel the vertical stabilizers are located at a
PHIF angle of 90.0 and -90.0. Then the vertical stabilizers will be given dihedral angles
GAM of -90.0 and 90.0, which will roll the panels into a vertical orientation. In order to
78
place the panels away from the body and onto the wing the first SSPAN value will be
half the body diameter plus the distance of the panel from the body mold line. The second
value for SSPAN is the distance from the first SSPAN length to the end of the panel. The
values used for SSPAN are 0.2660 and 0.6790 for the starboard and port panels. The
panels are 1.57 meters from X0 along the body x-axis. The twin vertical tails are swept
from the root chord aft of the aircraft toward the tip chord. Missile DATCOM allows the
user to define the sweep angle with reference to either the leading edge or the trailing
edge. For the twin vertical stabilizers on the Brumby UAV the sweep angle is 13.99
degrees and is assigned to the variable SWEEP. To assign the reference edge to be the
trailing edge, assign STA the value of 1.0. The Brumby UAV vertical stabilizers use a
symmetric airfoil section with an airfoil thickness of 20% , located 30% aft from the
leading edge. This is represented using a NACA 4 series airfoil as NACA 0320. To
assign FINSET2, the user inputs the following control card NACA 2-4-0320.

Table 3.4: Brumby UAV Twin Vertical Tail Planform Definition (FINSET2)
Traditional aircraft have control surfaces located on the planforms. The wing
planform typically contains ailerons that create rolling moments about the x-axis. The
Horizontal stabilizer either has a movable section or is completely movable where the
control surface is defined as the elevator. The elevator is used to create pitching
moments about the y-axis, as well as to trim the vehicle longitudinally. The vertical
stabilizer has a control surface defined as the rudder, which creates yawing moments
The Brumby UAV has a delta wing planform with two control surfaces on each
panel, as well as a control surface on each of the twin vertical tails. The delta wing has
ailerons that create rolling moments as well as elevators that create pitching moments.
Missile DATCOM does not allow for multiple control surfaces on a fin. In order to
accomplish a similar control scheme using a single control surface, the elevator and
of control surfaces that can create both rolling and pitching moments are defined as
Elevons. When the wing planform control surfaces are deflected equally up or down,
then the control surfaces contribute to the pitching moment, similar to elevators. When
the control surfaces on the wing panels are deflected an equal distance in opposite
directions, the control surfaces contribute to the rolling moment, similar to ailerons. By
combining the elevator and aileron deflection angles for each wing panel control surface
The size of the control surfaces are defined in Missile DATCOM using the flap
81
The wing planform is defined as FINSET1, and the the twin vertical stabilizers will be
defined as FINSET2. Notice that the control surface of the twin vertical stabilizers
extends over the length of the panel span, while the control surface on the wing planform
In order to create aerodynamic data over the range of control surface deflection
values, the model must be run for each deflection angle of each control surface. This is
accomplished by saving the geometric model definition from previous cases and only
changing the deflection values for the control surface under consideration, and by setting
the control surface deflection angles to 0.0 for the base case. Invoking the SAVE control
card retains the previous variable definitions so the values can be used during the
execution of the next case. As an example, consider a base case where the SAVE control
card is included before the NEXT CASE control card. The namelist DEFLCT contains a
variable for each finset. Since the wing has been defined as FINSET1, the deflection
angle for the starboard panel is contained in the first element of the array DELTA1. The
Second element is the port panel deflection angle, which will be set to zero for this case,
because the base model values will be used in the preceding case, the SAVE control card
must be used before the NEXT CASE control card. In subsequent cases the aerodynamic
data will be computed for the same model with different values of side-slip angle,

This chapter will discuss the mathematical model of a rigid body. The nonlinear
equations of motion for a non-rotating flat earth reference frame will be presented. The
equations will be presented in a manner that they can be integrated into a simulation
environment. For a derivation of the equations presented here the reader is directed to

reference frame. Multiple coordinate frames exist, however, only coordinate systems that
obey the right hand rule for vector orientation will be considered.
The first coordinate system of interest is one that is defined on an Earth Fixed
Inertial Frame located on the earth's surface.[7] This coordinate system aligns the
positive x-axis increasing in the East direction and the positive y-axis increasing in the
North direction. The positive z-axis increasing along the equatorial plane and is often
The next coordinate system of interest is the frame with respect to the vehicle
navigation. The coordinate system is defined as having the origin located on the surface
of the earth. The x-axis is positive increasing toward the North direction. The y-axis is
positive increasing toward the East direction. The z-axis is positive increasing Down
toward the center of the Earth, in accordance with the right hand rule. This coordinate
system is known as the vehicle navigation frame and is abbreviated as: North, East,
87
Down, or NED.[7]
The next coordinate system of interest is the coordinate frame with respect to
which the vehicle's stability is defined. The coordinate system is defined as having the
origin located at the center of mass of the vehicle. The positive x-axis is increasing
toward the nose of the aircraft. The positive y-axis is increasing toward the starboard
wing tip. The positive z-axis is increasing in accordance with the right hand rule. This is
known as the body fixed coordinate system and is defined as the body axes.[7]
The final coordinate systems of interest are the stability axes coordinate system
and the wind axes coordinate system. These coordinate systems relate the aerodynamic
forces acting on the vehicle and each has its origin at the center of mass of the vehicle.
The angular difference between the body x-axis and the stability x-axis along the x-z
plane, is known as the angle-of-attack ( ). The angular difference between the body
x-axis and the wind x-axis along the x-y plane, is known as the side-slip angle ( ).
The z-axis always obeys the right hand rule. Figure 4.1 illustrates the stability and wind
frames.
88
Assume that there are two coordinate systems that are related by one coordinate
system being rotated with respect to the other one about a parallel axis. Then let one of
89
the coordinate systems be rotated about one of the axes with respect to the other axis. Let
us denote the angular difference between the two y-axes in the y-z plane as phi ( ),
the angular difference between the two x-axes in the x-z plane as theta ( ), and finally
the angle between the two x-axes in the x-z plane as psi ( ). These angles are the
Euler Angles.

as simple as the flat earth equations of motion such as Equations 4.3-7. Equation 4.3
shows that the Direction Cosine Matrix is a function of the Euler Angles. The derivative

The forces and moments of interest are taken about the aircraft's center of mass.
Drag is friction caused by the aircraft moving through the air. The air molecules move
around the aircraft as it moves through the atmosphere. The molecules that cling to the
surface of the aircraft create skin friction.[6] The natural texture of the surface of the
aircraft is aerodynamically rough and is specified using the Roughness Height Rating
(RHR). The RHR is the arithmetic mean of the surface variation in millionths of an inch.
[4] Missile DATCOM allows the user to input the roughness factor of the vehicle surface.
The Lift force is created by both Bernoulli Lift and Vortex Lift.[6] Typically, the side
force is very small in an aircraft flying in wings level steady flight with side-slip angle at
or near zero. The aerodynamic forces of Lift and Drag are defined in the Stability frame.
92
The total moment acting on the aircraft is considered about the principle axes of the
coordinate system. The moment about the body x-axis is known as the Rolling Moment,
the moment about the body y-axis is known as the Pitching Moment, and the moment
about the body z-axis is known as the Yawing Moment. The sense of the moments are
defined using the right hand rule and are defined as follows. A positive Rolling Moment
is one in which the pilot experiences a clockwise rotation about the x-axis. The starboard
wing would be moving toward the positive z-axis and the port wing would be moving
toward the negative z-axis. A positive Pitching Moment is one in which the pilot
experiences the nose of the aircraft moving toward the positive z-axis and the tail of the
aircraft moving toward the negative z-axis. The positive Yawing Moment is one in which
the pilot experiences a clockwise rotation about the z-axis. The sense of the moments is
illustrated in Figure 4.4. Aircraft moving through fluid will experience certain restoring
forces, such as the vehicle to returning to a straight flight after experiencing a side-slip
perturbation. This is caused by the vertical stabilizer and is known as weather veining.
These restoring forces are represented as damping derivatives. Equation 4.20 shows how
The rate value is the rotational rate with respect to the derivative, this is either Rolling
Rate p, the Pitching Rate q, or the Yawing Rate r. The constant k is either the wing span
length b in the case of roll and yaw rates or the mean aerodynamic chord c with
respect to the pitch rate. The damping derivative coefficients of interest are typically:
There are also derivatives of the force and moment coefficients with respect to the
Cn
Yawing Moment with respect to Aileron Deflection Angle ail ,
There also are derivatives for force and moment coefficients with respect to changes in
dimensionalized so that aerodynamic data for an aircraft is scaled from the coefficients.
This allows data taken from models in wind tunnels to be used on full scale aircraft. The
equations used to create dimensionalized forces, moments, and derivatives are given in

A nonlinear six-degrees of freedom model was created using the flat earth
nonlinear equations of motion 4.37 . Since the variables of interest are only available
through integration of the nonlinear equations, one could linearize the nonlinear model
about an equilibrium point and represent the linearized system using a state transition
matrix typically used in state-space control theory. This, however, can be very difficult
and tedious, considering that the state transition matrix would have to be recalculated due
deviation from the equilibrium point. A better method would be to create a non-linear
model in The Mathwork's Matlab and Simulink environments. This allows the nonlinear
benefit of using an s-function is that, by the use of flags Simulink will integrate and keep
track of the state variables. The state variable vector given in Equation 4.39 is the

The simulation was trimmed for straight and level flight using the Simulink Trim
command. The trimmed control input values are given in Table 5.4. The values for the
trimmed initial conditions are given in Table 5.5. The control surfaces on the aircraft are
deflected such that the forces and moments on the aircraft are in equilibrium. The
translational and rotational accelerations on the aircraft are zero. This condition is known
as trimming the aircraft. Typically, this is performed for wings level straight and steady
flight. For a trimmed aircraft the translational velocity derivatives, rotational velocity
derivatives, and the derivatives of roll and pitch Euler angles are zero. The velocity
component along the Body x-axis velocity (U) and the velocity component along the
Body z-axis (W), the Euler Angle Theta ( ), and the Down position ( P Z ) are
allowed to have non zero constant values. East position ( P X ) and North position (
P Y ) are allowed to vary with time, while all other state variables must maintain values
of zero.

Equation 5.10 contains the longitudinal eigenvalues for the state variables
the aircraft. The lateral eigenvalues for the state variables , , V , p , q , associated
111
with the lateral dynamics are listed in Equation 5.11 and an explanation of the
eigenvalues effect on the lateral dynamics is listed in Equation 5.13. The explanation of
the eigenvalues includes the period of natural oscillation T and the damping ratio
for complex conjugate pairs and the time constant for real and distinct
eigenvalues.
The short-period mode is the natural mode of the aircraft and is the transient
response in the longitudinal direction. Once the short-period mode has decayed the
aircraft experiences a very lightly damped oscillation known as the phugoid mode.[7]
The dutch roll mode of the aircraft consists of rolling and yawing motion with
some side-slip and is similar to the motion of a drunken ice skater. The Brumby has a
dutch roll mode period of 0.1738 seconds and a damping ratio of 0.7577. The dutch roll
mode period for the Brumby is very short but highly damped. The roll subsidence mode
gives an indication of the time required for the rolling moment control inputs create the
rolling moment. The Brumby has a quick roll response at 0.0493 seconds. The spiral
mode of the aircraft is the time lapse before the aircraft to go into a downward spiral with
The Brumby was also trimmed for a coordinated turn with a constant rate of
climb. The turn rate used for this trim condition is 0.1 radians per second, and the rate of
112
climb is 0.5 meters per second. The turn rate was chosen so that the centripetal
acceleration on the aircraft would be less than 0.5 times the force of gravity during the
turn.
Nonlinear simulation was performed on the trimmed aircraft model, and the state
variables are plotted in this section. Figures 5.29 show the Brumby UAV trimmed for
straight and level flight (SLF). The reader should note that the Euler angle is
obscured by the Euler angle in Figure 5.3. This demonstrates the aircraft in a cruise
maneuver, such as when flying from one way point to another . Nonlinear simulation
results for the Brumby UAV trimmed for a coordinated turn with a constant rate of climb
The aircraft model will now be subjected to perturbations about the trimmed
followed by a negative displacement with equal magnitude. The doublet differs from a
step input in that, a doublet has a finite duration and returns to the initial value. The
and duration. Because the input is returned to the trimmed input value the net effect of
the doublet on the steady-state output is zero. The first trim condition is that of straight
and level flight and the input values are listed in Table 5.4. The second flight condition is
that of the coordinated turn with a constant rate of climb and the input values are listed in
Table 5.7 The Brumby UAV model will be subjected to the similar control surface
doublets as those presented in Reference [1]. Figures 5.1826 shows input perturbations
for the Brumby UAV trimmed for straight and level flight (SLF). Results for the input
perturbations to the Brumby UAV trimmed for a coordinated turn with a constant rate of
In Figures 5.23-26 and Figures 5.27-35 the Brumby UAV returns to the trimmed
equilibrium point after the doublet perturbation is applied. The model's ability to return to
the equilibrium point illustrates that the model is statically stable as well as dynamically
stable. Dynamic stability is defined as the time-dependent behavior of the aircraft being
stable in response to an impulsive input.[7] Once perturbed from the equilibrium point
the aircraft will return to the equilibrium point some time after the perturbation is applied.
The model presented in this thesis has been shown to be stable. In Calhoun's Thesis the
aerodynamic model created from time sampled data was shown to be unstable. The
model presented here has had the center of mass chosen so that it creates a longitudinal
statically stable aircraft. The benefit of using computational fluid dynamic prediction
codes is that the center-of-pressure of the lifting surface can be determined and the point
This research has presented a six degree-of-freedom model of the Brumby UAV
using a computational fluid dynamic prediction code. The time history simulations show
that the trimmed nonlinear model is both longitudinally and laterally stable. The Brumby
UAV returns to the trimmed condition after the perturbation. This is just the first step in
The model must first be validated against flight test data to ensure that the model
is an adequate approximation of the physical model. The center of gravity of the aircraft
and the Inertia Tensor need to be recalculated. The Brumby UAV elevator control
surfaces are located on the lifting planform. If the center of gravity does not lie forward
of the center of pressure, then the center of gravity will create a negative moment about
the center of pressure. In order to cancel out this moment traditional aircraft use the
elevator control surface located on the horizontal stabilizer. If the center of gravity is
forward of the center of pressure then the elevator would need to apply a positive
moment. This acts as a spoiler on the lifting planform of the Brumby UAV, decreasing
the lift coefficient, increasing the drag coefficient, and inducing a positive pitching
moment. If the center of gravity is aft of the center of pressure then the elevators must
provide negative pitching moment. This would act as an additional lifting surface on the
Brumby UAV which would increase the amount of lift as well as increasing the amount
of drag, and inducing a positive pitching moment. The Brumby UAV may not have
enough control authority to correct for extreme misalignment between the center of
gravity and the center of pressure without introducing instability in the aerodynamic
139
forces and moments. The placement of components in the Brumby UAV should be
performed with consideration of the center of pressure. It may be possible for a human
pilot to counter act the natural instability of the aircraft induced by misaligned center of
gravity and center of pressure. The inertia matrix can be determined using the method
observer. The state feedback gains as well as the observer gains should be gain
scheduled. Gain Scheduling requires a finite set of feedback gains whose values are valid
only over a defined flight condition. This type of controller requires the least amount of
wind gusts, and the power plant perturbations. The Simulink model described in Chapter
modes that should be explored are effectors that are seized or that have become
disconnected from the drive mechanism and are free to move, or a combination thereof.
