Embodiment Construction

[0045] Further details, aspects and embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity and have not necessarily been drawn to scale. Like reference numerals have been included in the various drawings for ease of understanding.

[0046] figure 1 A schematic diagram representing an aircraft control system showing only the relevant parts of the system. The input controls 10a-10d represent inputs used by the operator, eg, side stick shafts, throttle, rudder pedals, joysticks, etc., which are commonly referred to as receptors. Outputs 11a-11d represent aircraft controls such as ailerons, elevators, engines, rudder, nose wheel steering and brakes. Processing system 12 receives signals from input controls 10a-10d, processes the signals, and outputs control signals to outputs 11a-11d. Processing system 12 may be a computer system connected to all...

Abstract

Aircraft control systems to enable shared input controls. A single inceptor may provide outputs to control both land-based aircraft controls and air-based aircraft controls to reduce the number of inceptors required. In an example a side-stick provides control of both pitch and aircraft nose-wheel steering. Active inceptor technology may be utilized to provide feedback to the operator on the control system state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control system of an aircraft, in particular to a control system with dynamic functions. Background technique [0002] Aircraft have extensive control systems for communicating operator instructions to the aircraft control systems. Flight controls are a set of control systems that enable an operator to control various aspects of an aircraft during flight (either in the air or on the ground). A specific example of a flight control system is a system for controlling the pitch, roll and yaw of an aircraft in the air or on the ground. [0003] In a typical aircraft, pitch and roll are controlled by a stick or yoke held by the operator. Aircraft controls are often referred to as inceptors. A specific example of a sensor is a lateral stick on the operator's side that has two directions of motion (forward / backward and left / right), one for each of pitch and roll. The yaw of an aircraft in the air (and when moving at speed on the ...
