Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An aircraft is provided with a mechanical linkage that mechanically transmits an amount of manipulation of a control stick to a rudder controlling mechanism, an amount-of-manipulation sensor that detects the amount of manipulation, and an FBW control-law computing unit that calculates an FBW control-law command indicating an amount of control for a craft in accordance with the detected amount of manipulation. Also, with the aircraft, a high-pass filter outputs, among the control-stick manipulation amounts detected by the amount-of-manipulation sensor, an amount of change in the control-stick manipulation amounts; by subtracting the amount of change that has passed through the high-pass filter by means of the subtracting portion, the FBW control-law command serves as an SAS command; and the rudder controlling mechanism is driven by adding an amount of movement of an SAS actuator in accordance with the SAS command to the control-stick manipulation amount transmitted by the mechanical linkage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An aircraft comprising: a control stick for a pilot to maneuver a craft; an amount-of-rudder-control transmitting part that mechanically transmits an amount of manipulation of the control stick to a rudder controlling part; a detecting part that detects the amount of manipulation; an amount-of-control calculating part that calculates an amount of control for the craft in accordance with the amount of manipulation detected by the detecting part;…
