Abstract

The Lazy Eight aircraft maneuver is researched through numerical simulation. First, a six DOF aircraft flight dynamics model is developed. To control the aircraft performing the maneuver, a basic flight control law is designed, employing classical PID controllers in both pitch and roll loop. Commands for maneuver simulation are derived from the descriptions of Lazy Eight maneuver flight procedure. By proper settings of the commands and PID controllers’ gain values, Lazy Eight maneuver simulation is conducted exactly according to the maneuver descriptions. The model established in paper also provides researchers and a method to simulate other aircraft maneuvers.
