In order to accurately simulate the transient aerodynamic heating conditions experienced by aircraft when flying at high speeds, rapid and highly precise non-linear dynamic control of the heating process in aerodynamic simulation experiments must be conducted using a transient heat flux control system. This process involves carrying out ‘thermoelectric potential - temperature (E-T)’ conversion of sensors. Here a fast and high-precision ‘E-T’ sensor conversion method for the transient aerodynamic heating control systems of high-speed aircraft is proposed. The developed method has the advantages of easy calculation, rapid conversion speed and high calibration precision, and can thus be employed for fast non-linear dynamic control of rapidly-changing temperature fields in the aerodynamic heating process of high-speed aircraft.

The characteristics of the transient heating control process of aerodynamic simulation experiments are complicated, transient, highly nonlinear, and strongly coupled, which make it difficult or impossible to develop a mathematical model. By using the fuzzy control method, many good qualities (such as robustness, high adaptability to changing parameters, and a short transition process time) can be obtained. Based on the fuzzy control method, a transient aerodynamic heating simulation control system for missiles was established. It was demonstrated that quick dynamic control of the aerodynamic simulation heating process according to the transient and continual change in heat flow on the surface of high-speed aircrafts can be completed by using this control system.

Satellite-borne, radar altimeters have already demonstrated an ability to produce high-precision, topographic maps of the ice sheets. Seasat operated in a tracking mode, designed for use over oceans, but successfully tracked much of the flatter regions of the ice sheet to ± 72° latitude. ERS-1 will extend coverage to ± 82° latitude and will be equipped with an ocean mode similar to that of Seasat and an ice mode designed to permit tracking of the steeper, peripheral regions. The ocean mode will be used over the flatter regions, because of its greater precision.Altimeter performance over the ice sheets has been investigated through a study of Seasat tracking behaviour and the use of an altimeter performance simulator, with a view to assessing the likely performance of ERS-1 and the design of improved tracking systems. Analysis of Seasat data shows that lock was frequently lost, as a result of possessing a non-linear height error signal over the width of the range window. Having lost lock, the tracker frequently failed to transfer rapidly and effectively to track mode. Use of the altimeter performance simulator confirms many of the findings from Seasat data and it is being used to facilitate data interpretation and mapping, through the modelling of waveform sequence.
