Trajectory Inversion for a Rudderless Dual Vectored-Thrust Flying Wing
Overview
This research proposes a trajectory generation method that jointly optimizes path geometry and timing for rudderless dual vectored-thrust flying wings. By using trajectory inversion to yield state and control histories satisfying coupled equations of motion, the approach balances curvature-induced acceleration against aerodynamic support to lower thrust-vectoring demand while retaining maneuver features. Representative looping and rolling sequences are tracked in closed-loop simulations, providing a basis for planning autonomous aerobatic maneuvers with such aircraft.
