Abstract

The modern aircrafts’ flying height is strictly limited by the conditions on the sea. Terrible conditions may lead overturning or dropping into the water to the aircraft. What’s more, the structure of the aircraft may be broken by water-impact force. The affection of the water impact must be considered to promise the safety of the aircraft. This paper focuses on the water impact to a typical symmetrical aircraft flying above sea. The water impact force related to the trajectory angle and equivalent pitch angle is researched based on the water impact force model of a two-dimensional wedge. In addition, concerning with the limitation of the aircrafts’ overload, the water-contact condition is proposed to avert attitude overturning and structure broken of the aircraft.
