  • Publication number: 20230356827
    Abstract: Methods and systems for adjusting a force feel profile of an inceptor of an aircraft are provided. The force feel profile is based on a baseline value of an operating parameter of the aircraft and defines an amount of resistive force applied to the inceptor as a function of displacement of the inceptor. An embodiment of the method includes receiving data indicative of a current value of the operating parameter. Based on a difference between the current value and the baseline value of the operating parameter, a portion of the force feel profile corresponding to a range of displacement values is shifted to adjust an amount of resistive force defined by the portion of the force feel profile for the range of displacement values.

  • Patent number: 11338908
    Abstract: A system and method for deploying a flight control surface. The method includes displacing actuators engaged with the flight control surface during an initial period wherein each actuator displaces from zero speed to a deployment speed, and during a deployment period after the initial period. The method includes during the deployment period, controlling displacement of at least one of the actuators in response to actuator status information received therefrom. The method includes during the initial period, limiting an acceleration of said actuator from the zero speed to the deployment speed. The system has a control unit with a force fight controller and an acceleration limiter.
