For modern stealth aircraft, it is important to analyze the influence of Radar Cross Section (RCS) peak exposure on penetration for guiding stealth design and penetration trajectory planning, which needs to reflect the RCS statistical uncertainty and the RCS difference with the change of incident angle. Based on the RCS characteristics of typical stealth aircraft, this paper established a simplified RCS dynamic fluctuation statistical model with the parameters log mean and log standard deviation. According to the detection probability algorithm in radar signal processing field, this paper built the algorithm of radar detection probability based on the RCS dynamic fluctuation statistical model. The analysis of examples concluded that the key to successful penetration is to shorten the RCS peak exposure time, which can be reduced by decreasing the RCS peak width or increasing velocity. Based on the conclusion, this paper proposed the method of turning maneuvering to reduce RCS peak exposure time dramatically.

Ground effect dramatically improves the performance of the Wing-in-Ground (WIG) vehicles near the ground. However, making coordinate turnings in ground effect zone may raise complexity in flight control. The Angle of Attack (AOA) and height are believed to be important factors. To find the impact of these factors, three straight rectangular wings with different aspect ratios are simulated via CFD approach. The results show that in normal situations, the rolling moment tends to level the wing but less effective with the decreasing AOA and changes its direction when the AOA is less than a height dependent value. The yaw moment exhibits complex behavior because two different effects generate oppose moments. The rolling moment coefficient is more influenced by the ground if a wing has larger Aspect Ratio (AR) and works at low to medium AOA. The yawing coefficient is always more influenced if the wing has larger AR regardless AOAs. These findings can provide basic guidance for the design of control system and enable aircraft designers to reshape the crafts to avoid or utilize this effect.
