摘要： A pneumatic/mechanical actuator described herein consists of a variation of a Brayton-cycle machine for generating actuation force. The system avoids the continues heat problem of a Brayton-cycle by using compressed gas to drive a reversible turbine. The turbine only is driven when a change of actuation position. The system includes an internal-combustion engine-air compressor, a pneumatic energy storage and transfer system, a fuel/air mixing means, two electric pilot valves, two lean-ratio high-pressure catalytic-bed burners, a small-diameter and reversible turbine, a ratio speed-reducing transmission, an optical-encoder feedback position and speed sensor and a ball-screw push-rod mechanism. An alternative embodiment uses a free piston engine compressor hybrid to provide the compressed air. Manual or computer control may be used to monitor and direct desired changes in actuator position.

摘要： An integrated system for providing 3-axis attitude-control, energy-storage, and electrical power in which two counter-rotating inertia-wheels are tandem mounted with rotational axis oriented on and parallel to the longitudinal-axis of an airframe. A horizontal- and vertical-translating support is centrally-located between the wheels and houses a common wheel-bearing mount communicating with and supporting both inward-pointing inertia-wheel shafts. The preferred embodiment further consists of two outwardly-mounted tilt wheel bearing and suspension means, each communicating with and supporting an inertia-wheel outward-pointing shaft. Taken together, these supports and their associated two-axis actuator enable both wheels to be tilted equally in opposite directions to generate a combination of pitch and yaw reaction torque. Further, an electric generator integrally mounted to each inertia-wheel, and an electric load controller connected to each electric generator enable the creation of reaction roll torque. The preferred embodiment further comprises a turbine interface integrally attached to each inertia-wheel, a turbine nozzle associated with each wheel, and a dual gas-generator interface with a gas-generator controller enabling on-demand power input to the energy-storage system. An autopilot and sensor system are used to provide command signals that are processed and converted by this assembly into 3-axis reaction torque that controls the flight direction and orientation of the airframe.
