| 20090062973 | STALL, BUFFETING, LOW SPEED AND HIGH ATTITUDE PROTECTION SYSTEM - A flight control system moves elevators according to a pilot command summed with an automatic command. The flight control system monitors a set of flight parameters to determine if the flight vehicle is operating inside a permitted envelope. The flight controls system incorporates automatic protections thru the automatic elevator command if the flight vehicle is close to its envelope limits. The exemplary illustrative non-limiting implementation herein provides automatic protections in order to protect the flight vehicle from low speeds, high attitude, stalls and buffetings. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100217460 | FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM - A flight control system commands drag devices such as flight spoilers according to pilot or autopilot longitudinal command. Furthermore, the flight control system monitors a set of flight parameters to determine whether the aircraft is operating inside the permitted safe envelope, hence, incorporating envelope automatic exceeding disengagement. This invention allows the aircraft to descend in a steeper glide path than the 3° used in the normal approach, while keeping speeds unchanged. | 08-26-2010 |
