Aircraft Control System

US Patent:
2003014, Jul 31, 2003
Filed:
Dec 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/310415
Inventors:
Derek Lisoski - Simi Valley CA, US
Greg Kendall - Simi Valley CA, US
International Classification:
B64C001/00, B64C003/00, B64C005/00
US Classification:
244/013000
Abstract:
A solar rechargeable, long-duration, span-loaded flying wing, having no fuselage or rudder. Having a two-hundred foot wingspan that mounts photovoltaic cells on most all of the wing's top surface, the aircraft uses only differential thrust of its eight propellers to turn, pitch and yaw. The wing is configured to deform under flight loads to position the propellers such that the control can be achieved. Each of five segments of the wing has one or more motors and photovoltaic arrays, and produces its own lift independent of the other segments, to avoid loading them. Five two-sided photovoltaic arrays, in all, are mounted on the wing, and receive photovoltaic energy both incident on top of the wing, and which is incident also from below, through a bottom, transparent surface.

Aircraft Control System

US Patent:
2008000, Jan 3, 2008
Filed:
Apr 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/732109
Inventors:
Greg Kendall - Glendale CA, US
Derek Lisoski - Simi Valley CA, US
Walter Morgan - Simi Valley CA, US
John Griecci - Redondo Beach CA, US
International Classification:
B64C 13/00
US Classification:
244075100
Abstract:
A span-loaded, highly flexible flying wing, having horizontal control surfaces mounted aft of the wing on extended beams to form local pitch-control devices. Each of five spanwise wing segments of the wing has one or more motors and photovoltaic arrays, and produces its own lift independent of the other wing segments, to minimize inter-segment loads. Wing dihedral is controlled by separately controlling the local pitch-control devices consisting of a control surface on a boom, such that inboard and outboard wing segment pitch changes relative to each other, and thus relative inboard and outboard lift is varied.
