Abstract

At present reusable aircraft is a research hotspot in the field of aerospace. When a high-speed re-entry vehicle re-enters the atmosphere, obtaining accurate flight parameters such as angle of attack, sideslip angle and dynamic pressure plays a crucial role in control and stability. The traditional outrigger pitot tube and attack/sideslip angle sensing system will cause a series of structural and thermal problems at high speed, and cannot be applied to high angle of attack flight conditions. In order to solve these problems, a flush air data system (FADS) was developed. FADS based on the measurement of pressure information from multiple pressure taps embedded in the surface of the fuselage, combined with the pressure distribution model to solve the atmospheric parameters. This paper studies how to verify the reliability of FADS. The correctness of the FADS algorithm is verified by laboratory tests and the adaptability of the FADS is verified by wind tunnel tests. The test results can effectively evaluate the performance of FADS.
