摘要: An aircraft (101) includes a ground manoeuvre control unit (226) for automatically controlling ground manoeuvres. The aircraft (101) has control mechanisms (230) such as a rudder, nose wheel steering, spoilers, wheel brakes (110a and 110b) and the like for controlling motion of the aircraft (101). The control unit (226) is configured to receive lateral input demands (220) concerning lateral motion of the aircraft (e.g. heading control) and longitudinal input demands (222) concerning longitudinal motion of the aircraft (e.g. deceleration). The control unit (226) passes on the input demands (220, 222) as output demands (228) to the relevant control mechanisms (230) of the aircraft (101) with, if so required, a modification which prioritises one of the lateral input demand (220) and longitudinal input demand (222) based on the risk of a lateral runway excursion and the risk of a longitudinal runway excursion (232).

摘要: The present invention provides an aircraft brake control system 60 for controlling antiskid braking of at least first 11 and second 12 wheels in a wheel set of an aircraft 100, the system comprising a control assembly 60 having wheel speed inputs including an input of an indication of the wheel speed 13 of the first wheel 11, and an input of an indication 14 of the wheel speed of the second wheel 12, a wheel speed comparator 62 for determining which of the wheel speeds indicated is a lowest wheel speed 63, and an output 66 for indicating a wheel speed 64 other than the lowest wheel speed 63. The invention also provides an aircraft landing gear 10, an aircraft 100 and methods of braking an aircraft 100.

摘要: An aircraft (101) includes a ground manoeuvre control system (120) that automatically steers a nose landing gear wheel (112) to compensate for asymmetrical braking of the wheels (104) of the aircraft resulting from a failure on one side in comparison to the other. A control system (control unit 130) detects such a failure in order to be able to effect such automatic steering. The system (120) may be retrofitted by the installation of software (132) on an existing aircraft, having a braking and steering computer system (138) with a pre-existing steering control functional block (134) and a pre-existing braking control functional block (136).

摘要: A control device (462) for an aircraft (100) comprises a push-button switch (412) that is configured to be held in a depressed position (412b) by a pilot during taxiing of the aircraft (100). The push-button switch (412) is configured to return automatically to a released position (412a) if it is not held in the depressed position (412b) by the pilot. The control device (462) is configured to output a command for braking to a braking system (464) of the aircraft, if the push-button switch (412) moves to the released position (412a) during taxiing of the aircraft and does not return to the depressed position (412b) within a set time. The button may be provided on a tiller (301). A method (505) of detecting on-board pilot incapacitation during an aircraft taxi phase is also disclosed.
