Abstract:The formation flying of aviation swarm is a necessary condition for the realization of aviation cluster capability emergence. As for an aviation cluster formation with more aircraft, while the traditional leader wingman following mode being adopted, and as a result of a large number of wingmen, there is a chance that some wingman has a position deviation, aircraft-to-aircraft collision with the surrounding wingman may happen easily, and there is a great security risk. For this reason, a space alignment control method for large formation of aviation cluster is proposed, and the organizational structure of aviation cluster formation is constructed. Through the hierarchical alignment method and the reference aircraft selection algorithm based on distance, the overall formation of aviation cluster formation is achieved.
