Frederick Charles Henry Blechen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Automatic throttle roll angle compensation
    Patent number: 9085371
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for adjusting a thrust for an aircraft. A level of thrust is dynamically identified using a drag on the aircraft needed to substantially maintain a speed of the aircraft in a turn to form an identified level of thrust during turning of the aircraft. The turn of the aircraft is performed using the identified level of thrust.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2008
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2015
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventor: Frederick Charles Henry Blechen
  • Automatic pilot pitch angle compensation
    Patent number: 9058040
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are present for operating an aircraft. Responsive to a command to hold an altitude of the aircraft, an adjustment to a pitch angle of the aircraft needed to substantially maintain the altitude of the aircraft is identified using a lift for the aircraft to form an identified adjustment to the pitch angle to reduce altitude deviations from at least one of a change in configuration of a number of flight surfaces and changes in wind. The pitch angle of the aircraft is adjusted using the identified adjustment during flight.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 16, 2015
    Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANY
    Inventor: Frederick Charles Henry Blechen
  • Dynamic roll angle stall protection for an aircraft
    Patent number: 8442701
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are present for operating an aircraft. A roll angle limit is identified using a load factor selected to allow a lateral maneuvering capability of the aircraft by forming an identified roll angle limit in response to vertical maneuvering of the aircraft. The vertical maneuvering of the aircraft is performed using the identified roll angle limit.
