Title: Modeling of Tanker's Wake Field and Flight Safety Analysis of Receiver Aircraft
Abstract: An equivalent disturbance model of the tanker’s wake was developed and then the flight safety of the receiver aircraft was analyzed. A computing method with principle of pneumatic effect equated was proposed and in this method,the techniques of point-by-point integration and averaging schemes with weight were employed,and the non-uniform effects of the tanker’s wake acting on the receiver aircraft were approximated with components of effective wind and equivalent angular velocity which could be directly used in the receiver’s standard motion equations. Furthermore,the additional forces and moments of the receiver were introduced,and according to the fundamental of forces balance and moments balance,the safe flight area of the receiver was worked out. The simulation of the wake’s affects on the receiver shows that the equivalent disturbance model and the safe flight area of the receiver accord with the facts well.
