Abstract

The solution of the problem of determining optimal control of the translational motion of the center of mass of the aircraft in the section of bringing payloads in the pulse flight scheme by two methods is considered: step-by-step optimization method (the optimization of the center of mass motion control program is determined based on the minimum fuel consumption of the propulsion system at each step of adjusting the payloads) and the optimization method as a whole (optimal control of the movement of the center of mass of the aircraft in the payload bringing section is determined based on the minimum amount of fuel consumption of the engine system at all one-step transitions from one falling path to another). It has been found that the control program of the aircraft in the bringing section, optimal at each bringing step, will not be optimal for the entire bringing section as a whole. Within the framework of the pulse flight scheme, the value of the methodological error of the step-by-step optimization method is calculated at the section of bringing payloads.
