System For Backdrive Of Flight Deck Controls During Autopilot Operation

View page
US Patent:
57975647, Aug 25, 1998
Filed:
May 15, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/441681
Inventors:
Daniel H. Cartmell - Bellevue WA
David B. Borgens - Auburn WA
Henning Buus - Woodinville WA
Keith S. Duffy - Woodinville WA
Mark E. Gast - Seabrook TX
Neal V. Huynh - Bellevue WA
David W. Lochtie - Bellevue WA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B64C 1316
US Classification:
244223
Abstract:
A system for backdriving the flight deck controllers of a fly-by-wire aircraft that is under autopilot control to provide a pilot with tactile and visual feedback of autopilot activity. The system, distributed between the aircraft primary flight computers and the autopilot flight computer, uses actuators mechanically coupled to each flight deck controller to position the flight deck controller to mimic manual operation of the flight control surfaces. Additionally, the system allows smooth disengagement of the autopilot and transfer of the aircraft to pilot control when the pilot takes control of any flight deck controller by moving it from a backdrive system-commanded position by a predetermined displacement for a predetermined time.
