摘要： A flight control surface actuator includes a mechanism that enables the actuator translation member to be selectively decoupled from the actuator rotating member. The actuator includes an actuation member, a translation member, an extension member, and a locking member. The actuation member is adapted to receive a drive force and is configured, in response to the drive force, to rotate and cause the translation member to translate. The extension member surrounds at least a portion of the translation member and is configured to be selectively coupled to, and decoupled from, the translation member. The locking member surrounds at least a portion of the extension tube and is movable between a lock position, in which the locking member couples the extension member to the translation member, and a release position, in which the locking member decouples the extension member from the translation member.

摘要： A motor control architecture is provided that simultaneously controls multiple motors. The motor control system includes memory, a plurality of motor control processors, and a communication controller. The motor control processors are each responsive to control signals supplied from the communication controller to selectively retrieve system commands and motor positions from the memory, to generate motor commands, and to supply the generated motor commands to the memory. The communication controller selectively receives system commands and transmits the received system commands to the memory, selectively supplies the command signals to selected ones of the motor control processors, selectively receives motor positions from a plurality of motors, selectively transmits motor positions to the memory, selectively retrieves generated motor commands supplied to the memory, and selectively transmits the retrieved motor commands.

摘要： An aircraft flight surface control system and method simultaneously provides the benefits of both an active/active system architecture and in active/standby system architecture. The system is preferably implemented using hydraulic actuator assemblies and electromechanical actuator assemblies coupled to the same flight control surface. During normal system operations the electromechanical actuator assemblies are energized to supply a relatively minimal force to associated flight control surfaces. In effect, the electromechanical actuators, although energized, may be pulled along by the associated hydraulic actuator assemblies, until needed. Thus, the electromechanical actuator assemblies are controlled in a manner that closely resembles the active/standby architecture.
