Abstract

This article presents the design of an automatic ground collision avoidance system for the aircraft PZL-130 Orlik TCII. The project attempts at designing a fuzzy logic controller for generating control signals for the flight stick and the throttle depending upon four major input parametres (roll, pitch, indicated airspeed and rotation speed of the gas generator). The main task of the system is to properly manage energy and space orientation by the execution system - actuators which steer the lay of the control stick and the throttle. The project uses Matlab and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox software. The authors show performance of the system based on twenty samples for research, which simulate recovery from two dangerous situations. They present levels of steering the system, which facilitate its performance analysis, as well as the simulation process in the Simulink software package with the preset values.
