Abstract: Aircraft fly-by-wire systems and related vehicle electrical systems are provided. In one embodiment, an electrical system suitable for use with a control surface of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, is provided. The electrical system includes a plurality of communications buses and a plurality of control modules, wherein each of the plurality of control modules is connected to a respective subset of the plurality of communications buses that is unique among the plurality of control modules, and a plurality of actuation control modules associated with the control surface, wherein each of the plurality of actuation control modules is connected to a respective subset of the plurality of communications buses that is unique among the plurality of actuation control modules. Thus, each of the control modules is isolated from at least one of the communications buses.

Abstract: An automatic actuator system is provided. The automatic actuator system includes an input linkage that receives an input and an output linkage adapted to control a flight surface actuator. The automatic actuator system includes a first strain wave gear having a first circular spline coupled to the input linkage and a first flex spline rotatably coupled to the first circular spline. The automatic actuator system includes a second strain wave gear having a second circular spline coupled to the first flex spline. The second strain wave gear includes a second flex spline, and the second flex spline is coupled to the output linkage such that at least a portion of the input from the input linkage is transferred to the output linkage via the first strain wave gear and the second strain wave gear.

Abstract: Flight display systems and methods for displaying simplified primary flight information for an urban air mobility vehicle (UAMV). Embodiments provide a primary flight display with an enhanced human-machine interface to support the intuitive operation of the UAMV commensurate with an expected reduced training background of the operators.

Abstract: A high-integrity electromechanical actuator control system includes a system function controller, a plurality of actuator controllers, and at least one electromechanical actuator. Each actuator controller includes a first controller, a second controller, and a duty cycle computation circuit. The first controller receives digital actuator control commands supplied from two of the function control channels and supplies first digital duty cycle commands. The second controller receives digital actuator control commands supplied from two function control channels and supplies second digital duty cycle commands. The duty cycle computation circuit receives the first digital duty cycle commands and the second digital duty cycle commands, computes an average of the first and second duty cycle commands, and generates pulse width modulated (PWM) commutation control signals based on the computed average.

Abstract: Aircraft fly-by-wire systems and related vehicle electrical systems are provided. In one embodiment, an electrical system suitable for use with a control surface of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, is provided. The electrical system includes an asynchronous intermodule bus arrangement, a first vehicle control module, and a second vehicle control module. Each vehicle control module includes a respective interface arrangement to obtain and exchange data from different sensing arrangements with a first frequency, and a respective processing system to obtain the sensed data and determine actuator commands based on the sensed data with a lower frequency.

Abstract: A hydrostatic automatic flight servo system is provided. The automatic flight servo system includes a manifold that defines a first fluid chamber, and a hydraulic fluid is received in the first fluid chamber. The first fluid chamber includes a first bellows and a second bellows. The automatic flight servo system includes a stick received at least partially within the manifold and pivotally coupled to the manifold. The stick includes a control arm fixedly coupled to the first bellows, and the stick is to receive an input. The automatic flight servo system includes a flight output system pivotally coupled to the manifold. The flight output system includes a second control arm received at least partially within the manifold and coupled to the second bellows such that the pivotal movement of the stick pivots the flight output system relative to the manifold.
