The quad tilt rotor (QTR) has complex aerodynamic characteristics and strong aerodynamic interference. The flight dynamic model is the basis of control. To effectively account for the aerodynamic interference between the multiple aerodynamic surfaces of the QTR unmanned aerial vehicle, a hybrid optimization trimming analysis method based on Immune Algorithm/Levenberg–Marquardt (IA/LM) and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is proposed. The aerodynamic characteristics between the wing and the rotor calculated by the LBM are compensated into the flight dynamics model. The IA/LM algorithm is used to reduce the dependence on the initial trimming value. The effectiveness of the hybrid optimal trimming analysis method is verified through the analysis of trimming simulation results.
