Research on Design of Aircraft Electric Wheels and Simulation for ETS

Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve taxiing effectiveness， save taxiing time and fuel consumption， a scheme of converting main landing wheel of an aircraft into electric wheel was proposed based on the conception of an aircraft ETS. The operating principles and compositions of the ETS were introduced. The transmission solution of ETS was formulated and partly remodeled based on the original model of main landing gear. Driving structures and installation ways of the electric wheels were redesigned. The space vector control technology of PMSM was applied to establish the simulation model for ETS by MATLAB/Simulink， the taxiing performances of system were analyzed. The simulation results show that automatic taxiing speeds of aircraft meet the requirements and the transmission solution is feasible.

Key words: electric taxiing system（ETS）, electric wheel, permanent magnetic synchronous motor（PMSM）, power transmission, taxiing performance

摘要： 为进一步提高飞机的地面滑行效率，节省滑行时间和燃油消耗，基于飞机电动滑行系统构想，提出了一种改造飞机主机轮为电动机轮的方案。介绍了飞机电动滑行系统的工作原理及组成结构，制定了飞机电动滑行系统传动方案，并在主起落架原有模型基础上进行部分改造，重新设计电动机轮驱动结构和安装方式。采用永磁同步电动机的空间矢量控制技术，通过MATLAB/Simulink对电动滑行系统建立仿真模型，分析系统滑行性能。仿真结果表明：飞机自动滑行速度满足要求，传动方案合理可行。
