    摘要: A control system for an aircraft includes a hydraulic pump, first hydraulic line, second hydraulic line, a first actuator coupled with a first control surface, a second actuator coupled with a second control surface, and a third actuator coupled with a third control surface. The first control surface and the second control surface are at a distance to each other and symmetrically relative to a symmetry axis. The third control surface is substantially on the symmetry axis, and the first hydraulic line and the second hydraulic line are connected to the hydraulic pump. The first actuator is connected to the first hydraulic line, and the second actuator is connected to the second hydraulic line. The third actuator is connected to the first hydraulic line downstream of the first actuator at a junction point, and the first hydraulic line at least partially includes a larger diameter than the second hydraulic line.

    摘要: Described herein is an apparatus comprising an aircraft wing and a trailing edge aerodynamic surface connected to a trailing edge of the aircraft wing via a piston assembly in which the piston assembly holds the trailing edge aerodynamic surface in a neutral position relative to the aircraft wing at a constant supply pressure. The piston assembly may be implemented using a pneumatic piston or a hydraulic piston. A first end of the piston assembly may be connected to the aircraft wing and a second end of the piston assembly may be connected to the trailing edge aerodynamic surface. The piston assembly may include a pressure relief valve which may open or close, raising or lowering the aerodynamic surface, responsive to lift load on the aircraft wing.

    摘要: A control system may be used to control actuators that actuate movement of flight control surfaces of an aircraft. Each actuator is couplable to a flight control surface and includes a motion control assembly having a hydraulic motor and a drive path from the hydraulic motor to the flight control surface. Each hydraulic motor includes an extend port and a retract port. The system includes a hydraulic control module fluidly connected to the extend port and the retract port of each hydraulic motor and a controller operable to output hydraulic power from the hydraulic control module to the motion control assembly to actuate movement of the flight control surfaces. The controller is configured to identify an actuator that positionally leads the other actuators and reduce hydraulic power to the motion control assembly assigned to such actuator.

    摘要: A hydraulic circuit comprising an actuator having an extension chamber and a retraction chamber, a bypass passage provided in the hydraulic circuit between defined between the extension chamber and the retraction chamber, and a damping device. The damping device includes first and second chambers separated by a wall, a first movable element received within the first chamber and a second movable element received within the second chamber. The first moveable element is movable from its closed position against the force of the first spring by entry of fluid into the second chamber, and the second movable member being movable from its closed position against the force of the second spring by entry of fluid into the first chamber.

    摘要: To provide an actuator device for a flight control surface which can reduce a stress applied to the flight control surface when one of two actuators is operated. The present invention relates to a hydraulically-operated actuator device 30 which drives a flight control surface of an aircraft 1, including a first actuator 31A that is provided with a first piston rod 39A, and drives an aileron body 11; a second actuator 31B that is provided with a second piston rod 39B, and drives the aileron body 11 when the function of the first actuator 31A is lost or reduced; and a single second connection fitting 41 to which the first piston rod 39A and the second piston rod 39B are both connected, wherein the first actuator 31A and the second actuator 31B are connected to the aileron body 11 via the second connection fitting 41.

    摘要: A system for pneumatically actuating a split flap hingedly mounted near or at a trailing edge of an airfoil. The system includes a bladder system disposed between the split flap and the upper surface of the airfoil. The split flap is a small-chord (usually 1-3% of total wing chord) long-span lower panel which separates from the airfoil trailing edge by means of a hinge or a flexible lower skin. Deployment of the split flap is actuated pneumatically by the inflatable bladder system. The split flap may exist at a fixed wing trailing edge, a moving flap trailing edge, or an empennage trailing edge. The pneumatic bladder provides distributed force to extend and retract the split flap. This pneumatic approach eliminates extra drag, reduces cost and weight, and lessens flutter concerns.
