摘要:
An actuator control system includes a controller and a buck-boost circuit. The controller is configured to direct power from a power source to an actuator. The actuator is coupled to a control device to apply a force related to operation of a vehicle. The buck-boost circuit is configured to direct excess power generated by the actuator to an energy storage device when an actuator power level satisfies an anticipated power level.

Systems and methods are provided for capturing and using power generated by the application of an external force or by an inertial force on a vehicle control device that back-drive or forward-drive an actuator coupled to the control device. An actuator is coupled to a control device configured to apply a force related to operation of a vehicle. A bus is configured to conduct power to the actuator. An actuator control system is configured to receive power from a power source via an electrical bus and direct the power to the actuator. The actuator control system is also configured to monitor an actuator power level to determine when the actuator power level does not meet an anticipated power level. When the actuator power level exceeds the anticipated power level, the excess power generated is directed to an energy storage device. When the actuator power level is less than the anticipated power level, supplemental power is distributed from the energy storage device to the bus.
摘要:
In an aircraft having an engine and an AMAD, a power take off shaft is rotationally connected to the engine, and the power take off shaft provides rotational power from the engine. A power producing device having an internal shaft is provided for producing additional auxiliary power. The power producing device may be an electrical generator with an internal shaft rotationally connected to the power take off shaft. The electrical generator converts one portion of the rotational power to additional electrical power, and fits in a pre-existing unused space within the aircraft, located between the engine and the AMAD. An output shaft is rotationally connected to the power take off shaft and rotationally connects to the AMAD to provide another portion of the rotational power to the AMAD. Additional electrical power generation is produced without modification to the engine, AMAD, or existing electrical generators.

摘要:
An adjustable nozzle is mounted on the airframe downstream from the powerplant for selectively directing powerplant exhaust to exit the aircraft at an angle between about rearward and downward. An electricity source mounted on the airframe powers a magnetically driven fan positioned in front of the powerplant in the fuselage.
