Control strategy of an active stabilized drogue for hose-drogue aerial refueling by LI Fei, ZHU Zhe, HUANG Jiangtao, WANG Chunyang, LIU Gang

“…In the hose-drogue aerial refueling，as the hose is a flexible body，there is a floating phenomenon under the disturbance of complex wind fields such as tanker wake，gust and atmospheric turbulence，which seriously affects the success rate of docking. In view of the high accuracy and real-time requirements in the process of modeling the wake flow field of tanker and studying the influence of wake wind field disturbance，the method of combining neural network and CFD is adopted. …”
