Annotation Bridging the gap between academic research and real-world applications, this reference on modern flight control methods for fixed-wing aircraft deals with fundamentals of flight control systems design, then concentrates on applications based on the modern control methods used in the latest aircraft. The book is written for practicing engineers who are new to the aviation industry, postgraduate students in strategic or applied research, and advanced undergraduates. Some knowledge of classical control is assumed. Pratt is a member of IEEE and is UK Member for AIAA's Technical Committee on Guidance, Navigation and Control. Annotation c.

The #1 guide to understanding the "why and how" of fly-by-wire flight control systems. This book is an approachable and easily understandable must-read for aviation professionals! Why don't new aircraft designs allow the pilots a mechanical control connection? This book explains how fly-by-wire fixes the top 5 problems with mechanical controls for high performance aircraft. Rather than describe a particular aircraft’s design with confusing acronyms, readers will get a "behind the scenes" understanding for the critical concepts that apply to any modern aircraft. Because these design principles are easily described and understood, readers of this book will be armed with knowledge as they approach their flight manual procedures. Including: - Problems with mechanical flight controls - Advantages of fly-by-wire - How and why can fly-by-wire control systems fail? - Why are four computers better than one or two? - Explanations of the control laws used by business jets, fighters, and airliners - What sensors are needed, and how the system maintains control when sensors are lost - Design considerations for risk mitigation in case of component failures Buy this book to read on your next layover!

The report evaluates the feasibility and desirability of a fluidic Automatic Flight Control System. The study is carried out in four parts: (1) a description of the basic flight control system and fluidic components; (2) the definition and requirements for an automatic flight control; (3) a proposed fluidic system; and (4) an evaluation of the proposed system with a comparison with an existing Automatic Flight Control System. The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) to be implemented consists of open loop damping (OLD) systems, stability augmentation systems (SAS) and an autopilot. Each mode of control - pitch, yaw, roll, and translation - is similar in function. The portion of the complete AFCS chosen for implementation is the pitch axis of a fly-by-wire system. For the Fluidic system under consideration in this report, a fluid signal transmission system is the equivalent of the conventional fly-by-wire system. The proposed fluidic control has hydraulic OLD and SAS, and a pneumatic autopilot. These fluids were chosen primarily for compatibility with the power drive and response, respectively. The reliability comparison, which for the fluidic components was based on estimated failure rates, shows better performance for the fluidic system.

This book covers aerospace flight control systems. Both primary and secondary flight control systems are covered in the book. The first chapters cover basic mechanism fundamentals that are relevant to flight control systems. Next is chapters on cable systems, gearing systems and power screws. Hydraulic and electromechanical actuation are also discussed. From here, the book addresses general aspects of flight control systems, including fly by wire systems. After this secondary systems (high lift, spoilers, trim) and primary flight control for each axis are discussed - each in stand-alone chapters. Reversible, irreversible and fly by wire systems are discussed for each axis. The final chapter goes into system fault detection.

A program was conducted to investigate the feasibility of synthesizing a fully-pneumatic fluidic flight control system for advanced vehicle applications. A pitch axis flight stabilization system was developed to determined feasibility and to indicate achievable performance. The system approach selected for investigation utilizes a novel pulsating vortex rate sensor, jet digital signal processing elements, and orifice-volume analog frequency shaping network, and a complete integrated rotary position servo. The position servo consists of analog vortex and venjet amplifiers, a novel vortex servovalve, a fluidic position transducer, and a rotary actuator. All components and subsystems required were designed and developed into integrated configurations suitable for operation on 1000 F air in a 1000 F environment. Functionality was demonstrated for all components and subsystems and for the complete integrated system. The position servo operated excellently with air supply and environmental temperatures in the tested range from 70 F to 1000 F. Operation of the rate sensing componentry was limited to several hundred degrees F. Basic designs exist for all functional components and subsystems required. Subsequent effort can be directed to design refinement for enhanced performance, temperature capability and packaging as desired. (Author).

The history of flight control is inseparably linked to the history of aviation itself. Since the early days, the concept of automatic flight control systems has evolved from mechanical control systems to highly advanced automatic fly-by-wire flight control systems which can be found nowadays in military jets and civil airliners. Even today, many research efforts are made for the further development of these flight control systems in various aspects. Recent new developments in this field focus on a wealth of different aspects. This book focuses on a selection of key research areas, such as inertial navigation, control of unmanned aircraft and helicopters, trajectory control of an unmanned space re-entry vehicle, aeroservoelastic control, adaptive flight control, and fault tolerant flight control. This book consists of two major sections. The first section focuses on a literature review and some recent theoretical developments in flight control systems. The second section discusses some concepts of adaptive and fault-tolerant flight control systems. Each technique discussed in this book is illustrated by a relevant example.
