Description
Summary:For the accurate description of aerodynamic characteristics for aircraft, a wavelet neural network (WNN) aerodynamic modeling method from flight data, based on improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with information sharing strategy and velocity disturbance operator, is proposed. In improved PSO algorithm, an information sharing strategy is used to avoid the premature convergence as much as possible; the velocity disturbance operator is adopted to jump out of this position once falling into the premature convergence. Simulations on lateral and longitudinal aerodynamic modeling for ATTAS (advanced technologies testing aircraft system) indicate that the proposed method can achieve the accuracy improvement of an order of magnitude compared with SPSO-WNN, and can converge to a satisfactory precision by only 60–120 iterations in contrast to SPSO-WNN with 6 times precocities in 200 times repetitive experiments using Morlet and Mexican hat wavelet functions. Furthermore, it is proved that the proposed method is feasible and effective for aerodynamic modeling from flight data.
