Description
Summary:This paper presents a thrust cooperative control strategy of multiple propulsion motors for distributed electric propulsion aircraft. The control strategy can keep the propulsion motors running synchronously when the aircraft is flying in a straight line; at the same time, when the aircraft needs to turn, the yaw moment is generated by changing the speed of the propulsion motors on both sides, so as to achieve the given yaw angle of the aircraft. In order to verify the control strategy, the paper also carries out simulation and experimental verification, and the results show that the cooperative control strategy is feasible.
