Flight command and direction on ground command system for an aircraft
TLDR
In this article, an electrical flight control and ground steering control system for an aircraft that has a main landing gear with a front landing gear is described. But it is not shown how to control the aircraft's attitude relative to the longitudinal axis.Abstract:
Aircraft flight control and ground steering control system This electrical flight control system is intended for an aircraft that has a main landing gear with a front landing gear. It is provided with a handle ( 2 ) that can move around two maneuvering axes ( 4, 6 ) by means of a linkage system ( 8 ), and is movable in rotation around a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the maneuvering axes, means on each of the maneuvering axes for generating a pilot-operated instruction from a movement of the movable handle around one maneuvering axis, and means for generating an instruction in order to act on the orientation of the front landing gear of the aircraft as a function of the angular position of the movable handle ( 2 ) relative to the longitudinal axis.read more

Casing and front landing gear assembly for an aircraft
Bernard Guering,Jonathan Guering +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a casing including a wall defining an internal housing which allows retraction of a corresponding landing gear into the interior of the housing is described. The wall is a shell which envelops the shape of the landing gear, on the side opposite the opening of the internal housing, and the reinforcement structure includes on one hand longitudinal reinforcement elements extending on both sides of the shell and on other hand transverse reinforcement elements connecting the longitudinal reinforcement element.

Cyclic stick for mechanically transmitting commands for controlling a rotorcraft, the stick having a lever arm that is amplified selectively in the event of an emergency
Romuald Biest,Robert Convers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a control mechanism for controlling flight of an aircraft, the control mechanism comprising a cyclic control stick (1) that is mounted to tilt (B 1, B 2 ) on a carrier structure and that is in engagement with remote mechanical transmission members (2, 3 ).
Patent
Aircraft sidestick priority and dual input control logic
TL;DR: In this paper, a fly-by-wire type of aircraft flight control system has been proposed, which allows either the pilot or co-pilot to ensure that their sidestick is the only one issuing flight control commands at any one moment in time by pressing a simple latch button located on the glareshield in the cockpit.
