Synthetic Estimation Of Rotorcraft Airspeed

View page
US Patent:
20130325218, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
May 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/484761
Inventors:
Steven E. Spoldi - Shelton CT, US
Assignee:
SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION - Stratford CT
International Classification:
G01C 21/10
US Classification:
701 14
Abstract:
A method for estimating airspeed of an aircraft includes receiving values indicative of operating conditions of the aircraft along an axis; estimating a tip path plane (TPP) angle along the axis from at least one of the operating conditions to create an estimated TPP angle; and determining an estimated airspeed as a function of the estimated TPP angle, the determining including referencing a look-up table that indexes the estimated TPP angle with the airspeed.

US Patent:
20130056586, Mar 7, 2013
Filed:
Sep 2, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/224612
Inventors:
John J. Occhiato - Derby CT, US
Gordon E. Winer - Bridgeport CT, US
Irvin B. Alansky - Cheshire CT, US
Steven E. Spoldi - Shelton CT, US
Anthony Z. Stobiecki - Vya NV, US
Joseph P. Skonieczny - Madison CT, US
Assignee:
SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION - Stratford CT
International Classification:
B64D 1/12
US Classification:
2441374
Abstract:
A method of automatically jettisoning cargo suspended from a suspension system coupled to an auto jettison system, includes receiving an initial load value from at least one attachment point of the suspension system, the receiving of the initial load value in response to attaching the cargo to the suspension system; receiving an instantaneous load value of the cargo suspended on an attachment point, the attachment point being coupled to the cargo; predicting a rate of change of the instantaneous load value at a predetermined future time period; combining the predicted rate of change of the instantaneous load value with the initial load value to create a predicted load value; comparing the predicted load value to a threshold value for the attachment point; and jettisoning the cargo from the attachment point if the predicted value is greater than the threshold value.

US Patent:
20170220047, Aug 3, 2017
Filed:
Jun 22, 2015
Appl. No.:
15/501130
Inventors:
- Stratford CT, US
Steven E. Spoldi - Shelton CT, US
Assignee:
SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION - Stratford CT
International Classification:
G05D 1/08
B64C 27/54
B64C 27/06
Abstract:
A method and system for vector limiting of a rotor control volume for a helicopter with one or more controllers configured to issue a displacement command during a flight maneuver and a computer operably connected to the one or more controllers and configured to receive signals with a processor indicative of a displacement command for a rotor during a flight maneuver; determine with the processor an origination point for a command vector in a reference frame; determine with the processor the command vector in the reference frame; determine with the processor a command radius for the command vector; compare with the processor the command radius with values of estimated command radii in a look-up table; and determine with the processor a control volume limited command in response to the comparing of the command radius with the estimated command radius.
