Model-Based Verifying and Design of Autonomous Airship

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the Kirchhoff equations, Newton-Euler laws, boundary layer theory and mass definition, the six degrees of freedom dynamic model of airship complete with aerodynamic forces, wind effect is presented. Then, the nonlinear dynamic model is divided into three group equations by restricting airship motion in different planes respectively. The motion characteristics of airship, including stability, the effect of ballast position and rotational damping, are studied using linearized model. The results of simulation verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and airship design.
