N2 - A cooperative flight concept of two hypersonic entry vehicles is presented. The two vehicles are supposed to separate at a reasonable separation window, fly in different maneuvering trajectories, and reach the same terminal interface simultaneously. Firstly, the same longitudinal profile is planned for the two vehicles to satisfy the path and terminal constraints. Secondly, a time constrained 3DOF trajectory planning algorithm based on a double-layer bounded corridor (DLBC) is proposed for the cooperative flight. Then, the cooperative arrival time is investigated according to the two vehicles’ time adjusting capability. Finally, the trajectory planning algorithm is tested in flight missions of two common aero vehicles (CAVs). Simulation results indicate that cooperative trajectories of the two vehicles can be generated under different initial conditions.
