Analysis of disturbances at the vertical maneuver phase (“Pitchover”) of the carrier aircraft for the launch vehicle ejection and estimation of accuracy
Abstract:
The stochastic model of disturbances is constructed, these act on the carrier aircraft during vertical maneuver phase (“Pitchover”). The maneuver is necessary to produce the quasi zero-gravity conditions for ejection of the launch vehicle through the back cargo door. The estimation of motion parameters accuracy at the beginning of the launch vehicle motion is obtained by the statistic simulation of the disturbed trajectories.
