Patent number: 11667390Abstract: A system for controlling an aircraft in response to deployment of an ejection seat may comprise a seat controller located on the ejection seat and configured to output a signal in response to initiation of an ejection sequence. An aircraft controller may be configured to receive the signal from the seat controller. A tangible, non-transitory memory may be configured to communicate with the aircraft controller. The tangible, non-transitory memory may have instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the aircraft controller, cause the aircraft controller to perform operations, which may comprise receiving the signal from the seat controller, receiving data signals from an operational data source, and sending command signals configured to control a component of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: AMI INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Casey A. Stribrny, Nicholas K. Bharucha, Steve Holstine
