A Forward Development Method for Functional Design of Civil Aircraft Flight Control System

Abstract

Functional design is an extremely important part in the design and development of complex systems. It is necessary to establish a forward development method to ensure the correctness and completeness of functional design. Therefore, taking the flight control system of civil aircraft as an example, a forward development method for functional design is proposed. First, system modeling language is used to establish the functional requirements relationship model from aircraft level to system level and then to item level. Then, the functional requirements are combined with the safety requirements in SAE ARP4754A aircraft development guide to construct the functional knowledge set of the flight control system. Finally, the functional model of the flight control system is established based on functional unit block diagram and functional integration block diagram. This method can be used as a reference for the functional design of complex systems.
