摘要:
The invention relates to a method of controlling an artificial force feel generating device (6) for generation of an artificial feeling of force on an inceptor (4a) of a vehicle control system (10) that comprises an automatic flight control system (7). The method comprises monitoring usage of the inceptor (4a) and of a mechanical connection (6a) during operation, determining a current accumulated fatigue (27a) on the basis of the monitored usage and determining a fatigue prediction (33a, 33b, 33c). Thus, steps of the method provide: re-configuring (7a) protections of the automatic flight control system (7) and re-configuring (21a) of force generating device (12) both on the basis of the current accumulated fatigue (27a), and determining an applicable overhaul interval of the inceptor (4a) and of the mechanical linkage (6a) on the basis of the determined fatigue prediction (33a, 33b, 33c).

A flight control system of an aircraft and a flight control method of the aircraft are provided in which the overrunning an operation limitation on a flight condition can be prevented even when a pilot operates a flight control device fast. The flight control system of the aircraft includes a flight control device; a sensor configured to detect a first parameter changed based on a flight condition of the aircraft; a limitation flight control position calculating section configured to calculate a limitation flight control position of the flight control device when the first parameter reaches a limitation value, based on the first parameter; a reaction force generating actuator configured to change a reaction force which the pilot receives when carrying out a flight control input to the flight control device, in response to a reaction force generating command generated based on the flight control position of the flight control device and the limitation flight control position; an inner loop command calculating section configured to generate an inner loop command based on the flight control position; and a control surface actuator configured to drive a control surface of the aircraft based on the flight control position and the inner loop command.

摘要:
An apparatus for converting a manned aircraft for unmanned flight, the aircraft including at least one pilot control (1030) capable of manipulation to affect operation of the aircraft, the apparatus comprising a first actuator (1006) and a second actuator (1008) each configured to selectively provide movement or resistance to movement in a first manner including linear or rotational motion, a first clutch (1012) and a second clutch (1016) each configured to selectively couple movement of the associated actuator to the pilot control, and a vehicle controller capable of being selectively enabled to operate the pilot control actuators and clutches providing unmanned operation of the aircraft or disabled providing manned operation of the aircraft. The first actuator has a first scope describing a first amount of allowable movement (1062, 1042), while the second actuator has a second scope (1068, 1040) larger than the first scope.
摘要:
Previous flight control systems summed the resistive forces which are overcome by the instant system. A bifurcated feel unit (60) for use in a dual path flight control system includes separate input levers (162, 164) for the pilot and copilot control paths. The input levers (162, 164) pivot about a common axis (166) but are capable of independent rotation upon override of the breakout pogos (44, 50) associated with the control system external to the feel unit (60). Each input lever (162, 164) is coupled to a source of resistive force (100), preferably a piston (86, 96) within a hydraulic chamber (88, 98). Normally the feel force supplied is the sum of the resistive forces applied to each input lever (162, 164). In the event of a jam in one path of the flight control system, the feel force supplied to the remaining operable path is reduced in proportion to the reduction in available control surface.
