The maneuvering simulation of aircraft based on control surface control is a typical multi - disciplinary coupling problem, which requires comprehensive analysis of its aerodynamic performance, flight performance, and control performance. The research work in this paper is carried out successively around three key technical difficulties in numerical simulation, namely: (1) Coupled solution of the control equations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the equations of Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD); (2) Efficient overset grid technology; (3) Multi-disciplinary coupling simulation of aerodynamics/motion/control with a coupled Flight Control System (FCS). Aiming at the above technical difficulties, a maneuvering flight simulation platform for aircraft based on control surface control is developed. Taking the external store separation standard model of the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) in the United States as a typical example, the simulation results are in relatively high agreement with the experimental values, which verifies the accuracy of the simulation platform. Taking the SDM standard model with ailerons and elevators as a typical example, a reasonable and efficient transfer function between the control surface deflection angle and the angle of attack is designed. Finally, the designed control law function is applied to the maneuvering simulation of the aircraft in the longitudinal plane, realizing the roll and longitudinal pull - up maneuvering simulation of the SDM standard model.
