Embodiment Construction

[0014] Examples disclosed herein relate to safety devices that enhance the architecture of primary flight control systems and enhance operational safety associated with such flight control systems. In some examples, an aircraft primary flight controller includes longitudinal, lateral, and directional aerodynamic control surfaces and devices to control the orientation of these control surfaces to provide aircraft control, trim, and / or stability. In some examples, the example safety device identifies a location of the jam within the primary flight control system, and based on the identified location, commands wing spoilers and / or other control surfaces to relieve the jam. The disclosed examples may be employed within any suitable aircraft, such as an aircraft (eg, an airplane) having a control system for forward occlusion evacuation devices without rear occlusion evacuation devices. For example, the control system may be an exemplary elevator control system, an exemplary directi...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for operating a flight control system of an aircraft. A method and an apparatus for operating a flight control system of an aircraft are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a flight control system including a first sensor and a second sensor. The example apparatus also includes a processor to determine first and second input values ​​based on data from the first and second sensors, and to determine an approximate location of the jam within a flight control system of the aircraft based on the input values.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to aircraft, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for operating a flight control system of an aircraft. Background technique [0002] Some aircraft contain a primary flight control system that may be used to control the attitude and flight path of the aircraft. In some instances, jamming / jamming can occur within the primary flight control system and can damage the primary flight control system. Contents of the invention [0003] The invention may relate to a flight control method, which method may comprise determining a first and a second value; from said values, determining the location of a blockage in a flight control system of an aircraft. Flight control systems may include elevator control systems, lateral control systems, or directional control systems. The first and second values ​​may comprise first and second input force values ​​associated with a control stick of the flight control system...
