Un-powered gliding aircraft's ballistic missile optimal design

In this dissertation, un-powered gliding aircraft's optimal extended range problem is discussed. The aircraft movement model was built. According to the degree of coupling, the model can be classified into a simple model or a complicated model. Using an optimal control method, two different movement models gave out the aircraft's attitude angle optimal flight path. Complicated model's optimal solution can be found by the genetic algorithm. This method can transfer the analytic solution of complicated model to a numerical value solution. Comparing the simulation results of different methods, it showed that the genetic algorithm combined with the complicated model's numerical value solution had the best performance in control strategy. This method solved the problem in which the highly coupling complicated model's analytic solution was hard to obtain. It verified that the genetic algorithm has validity in the field of extended range solution searching.
