Patent number: 6883316Abstract: In the control system for a turbo-charged diesel aircraft engine, a target value for a fuel injection amount is determined by the stroke of a throttle lever. A boost compensator determines the maximum limit for the fuel injection amount in accordance with the boost pressure of the engine in order to suppress the formation of exhaust smoke. The actual fuel injection amount is set at the target value or the maximum limit whichever is smaller. An electronic control unit (ECU) calculates an increase rate of the stroke of the throttle lever based on an output of the stroke sensor disposed near the throttle lever. The ECU determines that the current operating condition of the aircraft requires a rapid increase in the engine output power when the increase rate of the stroke is larger than a predetermined value and increases the maximum limit determined by the boost compensator.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Toyota Uidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yukio Otake

Patent number: 6732521Abstract: In the control system for a turbo-charged diesel aircraft engine, the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are controlled by a single control lever in such a manner that the engine speed and the fuel injection amount maintain a predetermined fixed relationship in which the fuel injection amount is always smaller than a smoke limit amount. The control system further includes a boost compensator, that restricts the fuel injection amount to a value less than a boost pressure fuel limit determined by the boost pressure of the engine, and an altitude compensator that restricts the fuel injection amount to the value less than an altitude fuel limit.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yukio Otake

Patent number: 6671588Abstract: The present invention is structured such that, as for travelling on the ground, there is provided a braking mechanism capable of braking wheels by the use of a single brake pedal or a braking mechanism capable of braking the wheels by flare out operation of a control stick, while automatic control of traveling direction is performed in flight using a yaw damper. In addition, a larger braking force is automatically generated, without manual operations by a pilot, for landing gear mounted on the side of an airframe toward which direction of an aircraft is to be changed as compared with the braking force applied to landing gear on the other side.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yukio Otake, Kazuya Arakawa

Patent number: 6652233Abstract: In the control system for a turbo-charged diesel aircraft engine, the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are controlled by a single control lever. However, when the control lever is operated to accelerate the engine, the fuel injection amount immediately increases to the value set by the control lever while the actual speed of the engine requires a relatively long time to reach the set speed. This may cause the actual fuel injection amount to become excessively larger than a value matching the engine speed and to produce exhaust smoke. In order to prevent this problem, the control system includes a delay control device which restricts the rate of increase in the fuel injection amount to a value less than a predetermined maximum value. By restricting the rate of increase in the fuel injection amount, the actual fuel injection amount is maintained at a value matching the actual engine speed during acceleration, and the generation of the exhaust smoke does not occur.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yukio Otake
