  • Patent number: 10940957
    Abstract: A haptic alert mechanism. The mechanism includes an actuator. At least one arm of a movable stopping piece is connected to the actuator. A spring box is provided with an enclosure containing a pre-stressed torsion spring, said spring box being mounted to be movable in rotation about the axis of rotation. The enclosure includes at least one lug that is mounted to be movable in rotation about said axis of rotation. A finger of the torsion spring passes through an elongate orifice in a front flank of the enclosure to form a movable, resilient stop that is overridable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignees: AIRBUS HELICOPTERS, AIRBUS HELICOPTERS DEUTSCHLAND GMBH

  • Patent number: 8888036
    Abstract: Primary flight controls (10) for main and/or tail rotors (4) of helicopters with electro-mechanical interface between any of fly-by-wire and/or fly-by-light controls and hydraulic servo actuators (8) for control force amplification towards said main and/or tail rotor controls (4). For each of the main and/or tail rotor controls (4) there is provided but one of the hydraulic servo actuators (8), connected by one mechanical linkage (7) to one electro motor (5), said one hydraulic servo actuator (8) being of the type having the one mechanical linkage (7) connected to its input (29) and its output (30) and the one electro motor (5) being of the direct drive type, the position of said electro motor (5) having a reference to said one mechanical linkage (7) and the torque delivered by said electro motor (5) to the hydraulic servo actuator (8) being related to the power consumption of said electro motor (5).
