Aircraft Remote Control Sharing for Master-Slave Flight Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current aircraft control methods require each terminal device to be equipped with a remote control, increasing user burden and costs, especially in master-slave control scenarios where multiple remote controls are needed to control a single aircraft.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a remote control is connected to a master terminal, which is then connected to one or more slave terminals, allowing the remote control to receive and transmit control instructions from both the master and slave terminals to control the aircraft, eliminating the need for each terminal to have a separate remote control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each terminal device is equipped with a separate remote control to control the aircraft, then each terminal can independently control the aircraft, but the user burden increases and costs increase due to needing to carry multiple remote controls
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple remote control functions into a single remote control device. The aircraft is equipped with only one remote control, which receives control instructions from multiple terminal devices (master terminal and slave terminals). This eliminates the need for each terminal to have its own remote control, reducing the number of remote controls from multiple to one, while maintaining the ability of each terminal to control the aircraft through the shared remote control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple remote controls are used to implement master-slave control of the aircraft, then each terminal can control the aircraft simultaneously, but the cost increases due to purchasing multiple remote controls
Solution Approach 1:
The single remote control on the aircraft serves multiple functions by receiving control instructions from different types of terminals (master terminal and slave terminals). It acts as a universal interface that can handle control signals from any connected terminal device, eliminating the need for separate remote controls for each terminal type while maintaining full master-slave control functionality.
3Productivity
If each terminal has its own remote control, then control instructions can be transmitted directly from each terminal to the aircraft, but the data transmission efficiency decreases due to multiple communication paths
Solution Approach 1:
The single remote control on the aircraft acts as an intermediary device that centralizes the reception of control instructions from multiple terminals. Instead of having multiple direct communication paths from each terminal to the aircraft, all control instructions pass through the single remote control, simplifying the communication structure and improving data transmission efficiency by consolidating the communication channel.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of aircrafts and provide an aircraft control method and a flight control system. The method is applicable to an aircraft and includes: connecting a remote control to a master terminal; connecting the master terminal to at least one slave terminal, so that each of the at least one slave terminal is connected to the master terminal; determining that the remote control has been connected to the aircraft; and controlling, by the remote control, the aircraft according to control instructions transmitted by the master terminal and/or the at least one slave terminal. By means of the method, providing each terminal with a remote control can be avoided, thereby reducing the burden of holding remote controls and reducing costs.
