    摘要: An aircraft wing system for differentially adjusting a first deployable lift device and a second deployable lift device on a wing during take-off and landing, the system having a controller, which is programmed to determine desired positions for the first and second deployable lift devices, based on a desired position signal, and to activate high and low horsepower motors to move the first deployable lift devices to desired positions. The system has a controller which determines an adjustment amount for each motor, based on the system architecture.

    摘要: An aircraft is provided and includes an airframe. The airframe includes first and second rotor apparatuses at upper and tail portions of the aircraft, respectively, to provide for control and navigational drive. The aircraft further includes a stabilizer component disposed at the tail portion in a position displaced from downwash of the first and second rotor apparatuses at airspeed ranges and a control system configured to apply a dither actuation signal to the stabilizer component at the airspeed ranges by which an aircraft response to a stabilizer component input is measurable for airspeed estimation purposes.

    摘要: A method of controlling a high speed rotary wing aircraft (1) comprising: a fuselage (2); at least one main rotor (3); at least one variable pitch propulsive propeller (4); at least two half-wings (11, 11′) positioned on either side of said fuselage (2); at least one horizontal stabilizer (20) provided with a movable surface (21, 21′); and at least one power plant driving said main rotor (3) and each propulsive propeller (4) in rotation. Said method serves to adjust the lift of said half-wings (11, 11′) and the lift of the horizontal stabilizer (20) so that the collective pitch of said blades (31) of said main rotor (3) is equal to a setpoint collective pitch, so that the longitudinal cyclic pitch of said blades (31) of said main rotor (3) is equal to a setpoint longitudinal cyclic pitch, and so that the lateral cyclic pitch of said blades (31) of said main rotor (3) is equal to a setpoint lateral cyclic pitch during a stabilized stage of flight.

    摘要: A system and method of generating a landing trajectory for use in landing an aircraft onto a deck of a waterborne ship includes sensing motion of the ship, and sensing wind speed and wind direction. The sensed motion of the ship is processed to generate estimates of ship attitude and vertical speed, and the sensed wind speed and wind direction are processed to generate estimates of air-wake disturbances ahead of the aircraft. The landing trajectory is generated based on the estimates of ship attitude and vertical speed and the estimates of air-wake disturbances. The system and method implement model predictive control to calculate the control maneuvers multiple steps ahead, which provides the capability to smoothly control the timing of the aircraft touchdown phase.

    摘要: An active wing extension includes a body portion substantially parallel to a wing of an aircraft, as if it were an extension of the wing. The body portion is attachable to an aircraft wing and includes multiple controllable airflow modification devices coupled thereto. By virtue of having multiple controllable airflow modification devices, the wing extension is capable of adjusting control surfaces of the multiple controllable airflow modification devices in response to in-flight conditions, to reduce wing loads, improve wing fatigue characteristics, increase range, reduce torsional loads, alleviate flutter, and/or increase efficiency.

    摘要: Wing load alleviation methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes collecting data related to a condition of an aircraft; and when a condition identifier implemented via a logic circuit indicates that the condition comprises a high load condition, automatically generating a plurality of control signals to coordinate a first deflection of a first control surface of a configurable winglet and a second deflection of a second control surface of a wing adjacent to the winglet.
