  • Patent number: 5782431
    Abstract: The invention provides alternative flight control methods and structures which can prevent a crash of a passenger or a cargo aircraft under stall/spin and adverse flight conditions, failing Conventional ?aerodynamic! Flight Control ?CFC!, low landing speeds, asymmetric icing and partial loss of propulsion. That air-safety capability is provided by integrating roll-yaw-pitch engine-nozzle-nacelle thrust vectoring flight control ?TVFC! retractable/rotatable vane-doors, collectively operated in individual TVFC-sectors, with modified ?conventional! thrust-reversing ?TR! door-structures ?in one method!, or with novel retractable/rotatable TR vane-door sectorial structures ?a second method! to form various TVFC/CFC/TR systems. The methods and structures are intended for transport jets, except one configuration which is intended for turbo-prop transports. Another configuration replaces heavy and complex conventional TR doors and TR-nacelle-grids with an integrated, simpler and lighter TVFC/CFC/TR-systems.
