In this article, a novel hybrid heuristic search-simulated annealing (HS-SA) algorithm is used to reduce the data storage requirements and improve the efficiency of the established models based on sensor data. First, a fuel CG model is established based on the multidimensional interpolation of flight sensors and fuel tank data, which can accurately reflect the nonlinear characteristics of the problem and reduce the data storage needs. Then, the calculation nodes are reasonably selected and optimized based on the proposed HS-SA algorithm to improve the precision of the model of the aircraft fuel CG. The established model of the fuel CG has obvious advantages over traditional methods in improving the temporal efficiency and meeting the storage requirements for sensor data in actual flights. Finally, detailed simulations are conducted based on more than 16,000 sets of sensor data, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HS-SA algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19112457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]],"date-time":"2019-05-29T11:31:28Z","timestamp":1559129488000},"page":"2457","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["HS-SA-Based Precise Modeling of the Aircraft Fuel Center of Gravity Using Sensors Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Tie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]},{"given":"Mingqiang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"20","article-title":"Structure Design of Free Flight Model Based on Multi-Constrained Optimization","volume":"38","author":"Zhang","year":"2018","journal-title":"Aircr.
