06.1 - Flight Dynamics and Control (Control & Modelling)ASCENT TRAJECTORY OPTIMIZATION OF HYPERSONIC VEHICLE USING SWARM INTELLIGENT METHODZ.-Y. Wang¹, P. Chen¹, Y.-L. Wang¹, W.-D. Huang¹; ¹Aerospace Engineering University, China The optimization of ascent phase trajectory for a single-stage-to-orbit, air-breathing hypersonic vehicle is investigated using improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO). To avoid local optimum, a novel mechanism of neighbor component in PSO is proposed. Numerical solution shows that the IPSO is valid and effective, and is superior to other PSO variants in terms of better solution. |
