Purpose. Development of a mechatronic system based on the example of a Glider type aircraft model for studying and researching its control processes.
Methodology. Physical experiment on the developed laboratory bench, computer modelling, calculation and analytical methods.
Findings. In the course of the study, the main processes of glider control were considered and analyzed: the interaction of the pilot's controls and the operating mechanisms of the wing. An analysis of the shortcomings and advantages of existing developments on the subject under study was carried out, taking into account the issues of mobility, economy, simplicity and reliability of implementation, as well as the possibility of using it as a training stand. A laboratory stand has been developed in the form of a mechatronic system based on the example of a "Glider" type aircraft model for studying and researching the interaction processes of control bodies and flight executive mechanisms. The software and hardware complex is connected using the USB interface. A SOC platform with an ArduinoUno microcontroller was used to process processor commands and convert them into aileron movements. The Logitech Extreme 3D joystick was chosen as the control interface. In order to increase the similarity to real systems, a certain delay (inertia) is provided between the moment of the operator's impact on the joystick and the response of the glider. Styrofoam was used as the material of the glider model. Servo drives MG-90S and DS-37 are used to control the position of the moving parts of the glider model. The airframe is rotated using a 28BYJ-48 engine. Software has been developed, the feature of which is easy setup and quick start-up of the laboratory stand. Provide for the possibility of keeping a log, which will allow analysis of the actions of the stand operator. As a result of the conducted research, the features of glider control and the structure of the mechanisms that ensure the control process were determined.
Originality. A mechatronic system of a "Glider" type aircraft model based on an ArduinoUno-based software-hardware complex has been proposed and developed, which differs from the existing ones by the presence of a program that provides easy setup and quick start-up of the aircraft, which allows you to study the interaction of control bodies and executive mechanisms flight.
Practical value. The developed laboratory stand based on the "Glider" type aircraft expands the possibilities of studying and researching electromechanical processes of automatic control systems of complex mechatronic objects.
