Sinking Velocity Impact-Analysis for the Carrier-Based Aircraft Using the Response Surface Method-Based Improved Kriging Algorithm by Xiao-Feng Xue, Yuan-Zhuo Wang, Cheng Lu, Zhang Yun-Peng

“…Based on the deck landing measured data of the F/A-18A aircraft in the actual operating environment, the impact degree of the 15 deck landing parameters on the sinking velocity is explored, respectively, by using the partial correlation analysis of multivariate statistical theory and the IK-RSM. It can be found that the 4 parameters are strongly correlated with the sinking velocity; that is, the aircraft glide angle and deck pitch angle are highly correlated with the sinking velocity; next, the approach velocity and the engaging velocity are moderately correlated with the sinking velocity. …”
