Vertical Speed And Flight Path Command Algorithm For Displacement Collective Utilizing Tactile Cueing And Tactile Feedback
US Patent:
2008023, Sep 25, 2008
Filed:
Mar 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/687739
Inventors:
Igor Cherepinsky - Sandy Hook CT, US
Michael R. Skaggs - Southbury CT, US
Michael R. Skaggs - Southbury CT, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/08
US Classification:
701 7, 701 4
Abstract:
A flight control system includes a collective position command algorithm for a lift axis (collective pitch) which, in combination with an active collective system, provides a force feedback such that a pilot may seamlessly command vertical speed, flight path angle or directly change collective blade pitch. The collective position command algorithm utilizes displacement of the collective controller to command direct collective blade pitch change, while a constant force application to the collective controller within a “level flight” detent commands vertical velocity or flight path angle. The “level flight” detent provides a tactile cue for collective position to reference the aircraft level flight attitude without the pilot having to refer to the instruments and without excessive collective controller movement.

Assignee:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT
International Classification:
B64C 27/57
US Classification:
244 1713, 244195, 701 3, 416 30
Abstract:
A flight control system and method which determines an expected power required data in response to a flight control command of the at least one model following control law and utilizes the expected power required data to perform at least one action to control an engine speed.
Automatic Trim System For Fly-By-Wire Aircraft With Unique Trim Controllers
US Patent:
8231085, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Apr 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/756997
Inventors:
Igor Cherepinsky - Sandy Hook CT, US
Assignee:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - Stratford CT
International Classification:
B64C 13/04
US Classification:
244223, 244234, 244236
Abstract:
A flight control system includes a controller which defines a controller displacement and a control surface which defines a control surface authority. A module operable to provide a displacement feel to the controller in response to a remaining portion of the controller displacement being greater than a remaining portion of the control surface authority and the module operable to re-reference a center of the controller displacement to equate the remaining portion of the controller displacement with the remaining portion of the control surface authority in response to the remaining portion of the controller displacement being less than the remaining portion of the control surface authority.
Altitude And Acceleration Command Altitude Hold Algorithm For Rotorcraft With Large Center Of Gravity Range
US Patent:
2008024, Oct 9, 2008
Filed:
Apr 3, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/695707
Inventors:
Igor Cherepinsky - Sandy Hook CT, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/08, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701 7, 701 4
Abstract:
A flight control system includes an Acceleration and Attitude Command/Velocity Hold mode (AACVH) algorithm which blends attitude commands with acceleration commands. This blending determines a trim attitude for a given rotorcraft flight condition.
Methods And Systems For Providing Constant-Feel, Multi-Axis Tactile Cues
US Patent:
2013009, Apr 25, 2013
Filed:
Oct 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/278387
Inventors:
Igor Cherepinsky - Sandy Hook CT, US
Assignee:
SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION - Stratford CT
International Classification:
B64C 13/46
US Classification:
244223, 701 3
Abstract:
A system for adjusting tactile cues includes a controller having an axis and a cross-axis; an axis tactile cue generated in response to the position of the controller along the axis; a position scaling unit scaling a cross-axis controller position to generate a scaled cross-axis controller position; a force scaling unit scaling a cross-axis controller force to generate a scaled cross-axis controller force; a combiner combining the scaled cross-axis controller position and the scaled cross-axis controller force to generate an adjustment factor; and an adjuster adjusting the axis tactile cue in response to the adjustment factor to generate an adjusted axis tactile cue.
Method And System For Providing Sideslip Envelope Protection
US Patent:
2013021, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Feb 14, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/372863
Inventors:
Igor Cherepinsky - Sandy Hook CT, US
Assignee:
SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION - Stratford CT
International Classification:
G05D 1/08
US Classification:
701 7
Abstract:
A system for providing sideslip envelope protection includes a processor for obtaining values of a sideslip envelope indicative of operating conditions of the aircraft along an axis and for estimating a sideslip angle along the axis from at least one operating condition; and a comparer for comparing the sideslip angle with the sideslip envelope to generate an output value, where the processor determines a maximum yaw rate from the output value and scales the maximum yaw rate to generate a scaled yaw rate.
