US Patent:
8401716, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Jan 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/669565
Inventors:
Philippe A. Ciholas - Sedgwick KS, US
Mark W. Palmer - Peru KS, US
Mark W. Palmer - Peru KS, US
Assignee:
Textron Innovations Inc. - Providence RI
International Classification:
G01C 23/00, G05D 1/00, G05D 3/00, G06F 17/00, G06F 7/00, B64C 19/00, B64C 13/00, B64C 3/18, B64C 13/16, B64C 17/00, B64C 9/00, B64C 13/40
US Classification:
701 3, 244 751, 244 76 R, 244 87, 244227
Abstract:
A system and method for a controlling an aircraft with flight control surfaces that are controlled both manually and by a computing device is disclosed. The present invention improves overall flight control operation by reducing the mechanical flight control surface components while providing sufficient back-up control capability in the event of either a mechanical or power-related failure. Through the present invention, natural feedback is provided to the operator from the mechanical flight control surface which operates independent of computer-aided flight control surfaces.

Abstract:
A system and method for a controlling an aircraft with flight control surfaces that are controlled both manually and by a computing device is disclosed. The present invention improves overall flight control operation by reducing the mechanical flight control surface components while providing sufficient back-up control capability in the event of either a mechanical or power-related failure. Through the present invention, natural feedback is provided to the operator from the mechanical flight control surface which operates independent of computer-aided flight control surfaces. Further, through the present invention, force input signals received from the pilot are filtered to improve the operation of the computer-aided flight control surfaces.
