Member Data Documentation

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myPdRadius

protected

Parameter Name: pd-radius
Parameter Description: Radius within which bank-to-turn logic is not invoked.

Parameter Default Value: 800.0
Parameter Units: meters

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myContourFlightVelocityThreshold

protected

Inside this, all control is PD.

Parameter Name: contour-flight-velocity-threshold
Parameter Description: Desired-speed threshold, below which the terrain-avoidance logic is eliminated.
Parameter Default Value: 5.0
Parameter Units: meters/second

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myContourFlightPositionThreshold

protected

Parameter Name: contour-flight-position-threshold
Parameter Description: Contour flight position threshold, within which the terrain-avoidance logic is eliminated.

Parameter Default Value: 10.0
Parameter Units: meters

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myHeightFeedbackGain

protected

Parameter Name: height-feedback-gain
Parameter Description: Height feedback gain, which is the maximum gain parameter for terrain avoidance.

The terrain-avoidance velocity is found by multiplying an actual gain by the distance between the helicopter and the terrain avoidance height. The actual gain is found by ramping from zero to the maximum gain as the helicopter moves from the terrain-avoidance height to the surface.
Parameter Default Value: 3.0

Dt1DRegularTableFn DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myHeightVersusSpeed

protected

Parameter Name: height-versus-speed
Parameter Description: Table function used to describe the terrain-avoidance height versus speed.

The domain of the table is the horizontal speed of the entity (in m/s), starting at domain-bottom, with a table entry for each domain-increment of speed specified. The data-range is the altitude (in meters) to maintain above the terrain for each speed range.

DtRwBoolean DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myIsAlignWithTargets

protected

Parameter Name: is-align-with-targets
Parameter Description: Flag indicating whether or not the helicopter aligns with targets when kinematic constraints allow it.

Parameter Default Value: True

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myMaxAngularVel

protected

Parameter Description: Pilot's maximum angular velocity.

Parameter Default Value: 6.0
Parameter Units: radians/second

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myMaxAngularAcc

protected

Parameter Name: max-angular-acc

Parameter Default Value: 20.0
Parameter Units: radians/second/second

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myVelToAlignDesired

protected

Parameter Default Value: 5.0

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myVelToAlignActual

protected

Parameter Name: vel-to-align-actual
Parameter Description: Velocity threshold above which the pilot aligns the helicopter body with the actual velocity.

This represents the top-level kinematic constraint on the pilot and overrides all other alignment algorithms when it is triggered.
Parameter Default Value: 15.0

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myRadiusTriggerVel

protected

Parameter Name: radius-trigger-vel
Parameter Description: Turning radius trigger velocity, the velocity threshold beyond which bank-to-turn logic is invoked.

Parameter Default Value: 10.0

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myRadiusFraction

protected

Parameter Name: radius-fraction
Parameter Description: Radius-fraction parameter that is used in the bank-to-turn logic.

The larger this value, the tighter the turn.
Parameter Default Value: 0.85

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myPositionGain

protected

Parameter Name: position-gain
Parameter Description: Position gain for the position controller.

For position gains, tr=10s, zeta=1

Parameter Default Value: 4.32

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myControlNoiseLevel

protected

Parameter Name: noise-level
Parameter Description: Noise-level parameter for the helicopter-controls error model.

The noise-level parameter sets the magnitude of the power spectral density (PSD) of the white noise approximation on each control in percent (for collective, 0.1 percent). That is, as the time step goes to zero, the PSD of the error process goes to the noise-level value. (Open loop, a process with a PSD of 1, would integrate over time T to a random variable with variance T).
Parameter Default Value: 0.08

DtRwReal DtRotaryWingPilotDescriptor::myLandingFuelLevel

protected

Parameter Name: landing-fuel-level
Parameter Description: Fuel level that induces the pilot to land.

Parameter Default Value: 20.0
