Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical control system for a rudder of an aircraft, in particular a transport aircraft.
- a rudder is rotatably mounted about an axis to be able to take any steering angular position within a range of travel that is limited by first and second travel limits ( or first and second stops).
- a stabilizing element of an aircraft is sized taking into account the maximum forces to which it is likely to be subjected during the different flight configurations of this aircraft. Therefore, to limit the mass of such a stabilizing element and therefore also the weight of the aircraft, one solution is to reduce the forces that this stabilizing element is likely to be subjected during a flight.
- an electrical control system for a steering wheel. direction of an aircraft by which it is possible to limit the lateral loads applied in maneuver on said rudder and thus reduce the size and mass of the latter, without reducing the flight qualities of the aircraft or flight safety.
- said control system comprises:
- lowpass type filtering means receiving said control command of said transducer and generating said control command for said actuator, the time constant of said filtering means being all the higher as the amplitude of said control command corresponds to a larger fraction of the maximum value of the rudder deflection.
- this known control system introduces, in the rudder control commands, a non-linear filtering which depends on the debate available for the rudder, this filtering being all the more important as said rudder approaches stops limiting the maximum deflection, which limits the loads applied to said rudder and thus reduces the sizing and the mass of the latter.
- said filtering is identical over the entire flight envelope of the aircraft, said filtering depends on conditions related to the steering control of the control surface, but does not depend on the flight conditions of the aircraft.
- the present invention relates to an electrical control system for a rudder of an aircraft, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
- said system of the type comprising: - said rudder which is rotatably mounted about an axis to be able to take any steering angular position within a range of deflection which is limited by first and second deflection limits; a rudder which is capable of being actuated by a pilot of the aircraft and which is associated with a transducer which delivers a control command representative of the pilot's action on said rudder;
- a first means which determines, from said control command, taking into account said first and second deflection limits, a deflection order making it possible to bring said rudder to a position situated between said first and second travel limits and dependent on said control command;
- an actuator which receives this steering command and which moves said rudder about said axis as a function of said received steering command is remarkable in that it furthermore comprises:
- first and second deflection limits are varied, and this at least partially asymmetrically, as a function of the current values of said flight parameters which are representative of the conditions of displacement of the aircraft (as specified below). Therefore, we can adapt the range of the rudder deflection (and thus the efficiency of the rudder) to the actual traveling conditions.
- control system is particularly advantageous when the aircraft rolls on the ground and is subjected to a strong side wind.
- said control system may be formed to move one of the travel limits (that is, on the side allowing the rudder to oppose said lateral wind) to increase rudder deflection range more on the side of this limit of travel than on the other side, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the steering control of the aircraft in this situation and to limit the loads of the other side.
- said set of information sources comprises at least some of the following means: a means for determining the phase of displacement of the aircraft;
- said second means comprises a database containing curves of variations of said first and second deflection limits as a function of values of said flight parameters; and or said first and second means are part of a computing unit.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a control system according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating variations in the deflection limits of the range of deflection of a rudder, under particular conditions of displacement of the aircraft.
- the electrical control system 1, according to the present invention and diagrammatically shown in FIG. 1, is intended for the actuation of a rudder 2 of an aircraft, which is rotatably mounted in both directions around the engine. a vertical axis ZZ, as symbolized by a double arrow 3.
- Said rudder 2 can take any angular position about said axis ZZ within a range of travel, which extends from and other of an aerodynamically neutral position of said rudder 2 and which is limited by a first limit of travel L1 and a second limit of travel L2.
- Said electric control system 1 of an aircraft for example a transport plane, is of the known type, comprising:
- a rudder 5 which can be actuated by a pilot of the aircraft, and which is associated with a transducer 6 delivering an electric control command (relative to steering of the rudder 2) representative of the actuation of said rudder 5;
- a calculation means 7 which is connected via an electrical connection 8 to said transducer 6 and which is intended to determine, from said received control command, taking into account said first and second travel limits L1 and L2 , a steering order allows both of bringing said rudder 2 to a position between said first and second travel limits L1 and L2 and dependent on said control command;
- a conventional actuator 9 which receives this steering command via an electrical connection 10 and which moves said rudder 2 about said axis Z-Z, as a function of said received steering command.
- said system 1 further comprises:
- flight parameters are related to the aircraft and are representative of the actual movement conditions of said aircraft;
- a means 12 which is connected via a link 13 to said assembly 1 1 and which is formed in such a way as to: - vary said first and second movement limits L1 and L2, and this at least partially asymmetrically , based on the current values of said flight parameters, received from said set of information sources; and
- the system 1 varies said first and second deflection limits L1 and L2, and this at least partially asymmetrically, as a function of the current values of flight parameters which are representative of the traveling conditions. from the plane. Consequently, said system 1 makes it possible to adapt the range of deflection of the rudder 2 (and thus the efficiency of the latter) to said actual displacement conditions.
- the system 1 according to the invention is particularly advantageous when the aircraft rolls on the ground and is subjected to a strong side wind.
- said system 1 displaces one of the travel limits (namely that which is on the side allowing the rudder 2 to oppose said lateral wind) so as to increase the range of travel of the steering rudder 2 on the side of this limit of travel than on the other side, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the steering control of the aircraft in this situation and to limit the loads on the other side.
- said means 7 and 12 form part of a computing unit 15.
- said means 12 may comprise a database (not shown) containing variation curves CI and C2 of said deflection limits L1 and L2 as a function of the current values of a plurality of flight parameters.
- said variation curves are determined empirically, whereas in a second variant embodiment, said variation curves are determined using mathematical formulas in which said current values of the parameters are integrated. flight.
- FIG. 2 shows a maximum deflection angle ADM (expressed for example in degrees) with respect to a neutral position, representing said deflection limits L1 and L2, as a function of the speed V (expressed in nodes, a node worth about 0.5 m / s) of the aircraft and its ⁇ angle of slip. More precisely :
- the curves C1 A and C2A illustrate the variations respectively of said travel limits L1 and L2 as a function of the speed V, for a negligible ⁇ slip angle.
- These curves C1A and C2A are represented in continuous lines and some of their values are highlighted by squares; and
- the curves C1 B and C2B illustrate the variations respectively of said deflection limits L1 and L_2 as a function of the speed V, for a significantly positive ⁇ slip angle. These curves C1 B and C2B are represented in broken lines and some of their values are highlighted by diamonds.
