1 results about "Flight control modes" patented technology

Aircraft with fly-by-wire flight controls usually have automatic flight control modes, in which flight control laws determine the functional transformation of input signals, read from sensors and other sources, to output signals, feeding actuators and other destinations; they are an application of modes in user interfaces. Their purpose is to modify the way in which human control inputs are translated to the flight control surfaces, and ultimately its path of movement, in a way appropriate to different situations or flight regimes.
