摘要:
A system and method for controlling a trajectory of a vehicle includes a crew seat with first and second inceptors mounted to a portion of the crew seat; a processor with memory having instructions stored thereon that cause the system to: receive signals indicative of a trajectory for the vehicle; receive signals indicative of a deviation in a trajectory of the vehicle; and transmit signals for controlling a flight path of the vehicle. A second inceptor is configured for selecting one or more menus on a user display and being configured to interact with a fly-by-wire control system for transmitting signals indicative of movement of flight surface of the vehicle. The crew seat is configured to be located on the vehicle, in a control station remotely located from the vehicle, or in a second vehicle remotely located from the vehicle.

The system contains the active inceptor having mobility in a first direction. A feedback mechanism is in communication with the active inceptor. The mechanism provides a variable level of force to the active inceptor in the first direction. A programmable device communicates with the feedback mechanism. The programmable device controls the level of force provided to the active inceptor from the feedback mechanism. The programmable device is capable of recognizing and distinguishing between regimes wherein the operator is physically engaging the inceptor (“hands-on” state) and when the operator is “hands-off” the inceptor. The programmable device limits the maximum rate of displacement of an active inceptor to a specified safe and effective value regardless of changes in forces applied by the variable force feel feedback mechanism. The limit on rate of change of active inceptor position is varied based on the recognized “hands-on” or “hands-off” state and the type of tactile cue to satisfy otherwise conflicting requirements for failure robustness and effective tactile cueing during highly dynamic operations.

A rotorcraft is disclosed. The rotorcraft may include an airframe, at least one engine connected to the airframe, and a rotor connected to the airframe. The rotor may include a hub, a rotor blade, and a feathering spindle connecting the rotor blade to the hub. The rotorcraft may further include a flow of oil passing proximate the feathering spindle. The flow of oil may cool the feathering spindle during take off and landing of the rotorcraft. Additionally, the flow of oil may heat the feathering spindle during travel of the rotorcraft at altitude.

An inceptor is provided including a control stick mounted to a seat. The control stick is movable about at least a first axis. A fly-by-wire inceptor control system is housed within a portion of the seat. The inceptor control system is configured to provide input signal indicative of movement of the control stick to a flight control system.

The rotorcraft may include an airframe, at least one engine connected to the airframe, and a rotor connected to the airframe. The rotor may include a hub, a rotor blade, and a feathering spindle connected to the hub. The rotor blade may have a root and a tip and form a conduit extending in the radial 5 direction from the root to the tip. The root may comprise a wall forming a hollow circular cylinder. The hollow circular cylinder may form a portion of the conduit. A plurality of bolts may be distributed circumferential within the wall of the root. The plurality of bolts may extend in the radial direction from the wall of the root to secure the rotor blade to the feathering 10 spindle.
摘要:
A heliplane operates with a fixed wing at high velocities, and particularly at high advance ratios, while using a rotary wing maintained in motion at all speeds. At high advance ratios, the rotor wing eventually may be rotated primarily to maintain its stability, rather than depending upon the majority of lift. Meanwhile, a collective pitch control is provided and located between pilot and copilot. A single control provides control of both collective pitch and throttle by both pilots. One pilot will have to operate the control with the left hand, while the other may use their right hand. Nevertheless, both throttles push away from the pilot, regardless of which one is in control of the aircraft, while a single collective lever is relied upon.

A control member (10) having a collective pitch lever (20) extending from a first end (21) to a second end (22). Said control member (10) has a handle (30) for controlling a yaw movement control device, said handle (30) being secured to an inner ring (40) that is guided to pivot about a second axis (AXLAC) by an outer ring (50) secured to said second end (22), said inner ring (40) being constrained to move together with said outer ring (50) and the lever (20) in pivoting about said first axis (AXCOL).

A device for assisting the piloting of a rotorcraft, the rotorcraft having a flight control (10) for controlling a rotor (20, 21) via at least one linkage (35. An additional force is generated by at least one piloting assistance means (100) mechanically linked to the linkage (35. The additional force is a function of the position of the flight control (10) and of an instantaneous force as measured on the linkage (35).

The present invention relates to a bellcrank (40) for a flight-attitude-changing linkage (27, 25A, 28A) of the variable gain type. The linkage (27, 25A, 28A) connects a manual flight control device of a rotary wing aircraft (1), e.g. a hybrid helicopter, to at least one airfoil of said aircraft (1) suitable for causing a change in flight attitude. Said bellcrank (40) includes first and second sliders (50, 52). Said first slider (50) is connected to a movable portion (57, 61) of a setpoint flight-attitude-changing linkage (24) that delivers a setpoint, with movements of said linkage causing the gain of said variable-gain linkage (27, 25A, 28A) to be adjusted, which gain is proportional to the position of said movable portion (57, 61).
