    摘要: A flexible distributed multi-system architecture for aircraft control integrates electronic computers comprising plural types of high integrity, dissimilar, generic and reconfigurable controllers (GECs) that can assume different purposes. GECs are configured as actuator controllers (able to control up to three channels including hydraulic or electro-mechanical actuators) or as Control Law Computers (able to calculate more sophisticated and processor demanding control laws). The multi-system architecture is built around a backbone of high performance, high integrity digital protocols and three hubs with dual connection to two different GECs.

    摘要: Installation of powered actuators in the leading edge of a control surface in order to have a better weight distribution. The systems described herein propose an actuation system with a static ground structure used to move a control surface of an aircraft. The actuation system, and the ground structure are aligned with the center of rotation of the control surface, providing the aircraft with flutter suppression. This proposal is an approach to use the actuator in a place favorable to the mass balancing and reducing or even dismissing the usage of mass balancing, saving weight and cost.
