  • Formation flying method and system
    Patent number: 10437261
    Abstract: A method for directing formation flying of an aircraft includes sensing a relative position of a leader to a follower aircraft by one or more sensors disposed at the follower aircraft. The relative position is compared to a selected relative position, and a follower velocity of the follower aircraft necessary to move the follower aircraft to the selective relative position is determined via a flight control computer of the follower aircraft. The follower velocity is transformed into flight control inputs and the follower aircraft is moved to the selected relative position via the flight control inputs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 8, 2019
    Assignee: SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT CORPORATION
    Inventors: Vineet Sahasrabudhe, Stella Jang, Matthew A. White

  • Engine anticipation for rotary-wing aircraft
    Patent number: 7931231
    Abstract: A flight control system and method which determines an expected power required data in response to a flight control command of the at least one model following control law and utilizes the expected power required data to perform at least one action to control an engine speed.
