Resumen
As one of the key issues in aviation safety, loss-of-control in the form of adverse aircraft-pilot couplings is attracting attention increasingly. Dynamic-pitch-control envelope shows to be a promising means to evaluate the loss-of-control related to pilot-induced oscillations. To mitigate this issue, this paper develops a human pilot model with the dynamic-pitch-control envelope cue. A key feature of the model is the capability to afford the characteristics of the pilot?s behavior through analyzing the cue of envelope boundaries in different areas. The fuzziness and adaption of the human are introduced into the model to describe the behavior of the human pilot. Fuzzy control logic is designed to reflect the fuzziness of the human?s response to the envelope cue. Time-varying parameters are adjusted to embody the adaptive characteristics of the human pilot to different regional envelope cues. Furthermore, three metrics methods, including error metric, envelope boundaries metric, and scalogram-based pilot-induced oscillation (PIO) metric, are proposed to design the dynamic-pitch-control envelope cues. The assessment results obtained by pilot?aircraft system simulation are compared with the pilot-in-the-loop flight experiment in-ground simulator to validate the effectiveness of the model. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed human pilot model and envelope cue method can be applied to mitigate the loss-of-control events caused by the pilot?aircraft system oscillations.
