  • Method for alleviating and protecting loads for an aircraft
    Patent number: 10732631
    Abstract: A method for alleviating and protecting loads of a lifting surface of an aircraft based on control of structural distortions of the lifting surface. The lifting surface includes a control surface, a maneuvering system for displacing the control surface and sensors which measure a dimensional characteristic linked to the distortion of the lifting surface. The method acquires characteristic data linked to the distortion of the lifting surface, determines a set of values of the shape, analyzes the value of the strain attribute and compares the set of values characterizing the shape to the values of the tolerance interval associated with the lifting surface. If the set of values characterizing the shape is outside of the interval, the process triggers an activation of the maneuvering system to displace the control surface from an initial position in order to alleviate the loads on the lifting surface.
