A control method for controlling aerodynamic means of an aircraft having mechanically decoupled flight controls enabling the aircraft to be piloted by at least two pilots. The aircraft has at least two control members operated by respective ones of the at least two pilots and each enabling control signals to be generated for causing the aerodynamic means to move relative to an incident air stream. The control method includes piloting logic (operational logic). The operational logic includes a dual operating mode in which each control member can control the aerodynamic means. In the dual operating mode, only one of the at least two control members, (the activated member), has exclusive control over a full travel amplitude of the aerodynamic means. The other control member, (the deactivated member), then is temporarily inoperative on the aerodynamic means.

A control system for operating an air vehicle for urban air mobility (UAM) is arranged such that when a steering operation for a steering wheel and a stroke operation for an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal are performed for operating the air vehicle for UAM, haptic feedback providing notification of any operational limitations is provided to a driver, so that operation stability and convenience of the driver are secured and stable steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the air vehicle are performed.

A rotating electric machine includes a rotor and a wound stator. The wound stator has a stator shaft, wherein the stator coils are inserted in the rotor, and the stator shaft is inserted in the center of the rotor. At least one angular position sensor of the rotor is inserted in the center of the space delimited by the stator shaft and the rotor.

Electromechanical drive system (1) to control a transmission shaft (2) connected to the mechanical operating systems of an aircraft, comprising an electric machine (3), a two-way transmission rotation (8) and a clutch assembly (9) wherein the two-way transmission rotation (8) is configured, in any direction of rotation of the transmission shaft (2), to selectively allow the passage of torque either only between the electric machine (3) and the transmission shaft (2) when the torque is supplied by the electric machine (3) to the transmission shaft (2) or between the transmission shaft (2), the clutch assembly (9) and the electric machine (3) when the torque is supplied by the transmission shaft (2) to the electric machine (3).

This aircraft flight compensator control system includes a motor and a variable-friction actuator coupled with the motor and with an output shaft. The variable-friction actuator includes a variable-friction-torque magnetic clutch connected to the output shaft.

This document details a series of inventions relating to the design and optimization of hybrid-to-electric aircraft. In particular, a system and method is presented to improve the effectiveness of mixed aerodynamic control surfaces which are actuated by a novel electromechanical actuator which allows the system to be tolerant to actuator faults and jams. In addition, innovations relating to integration and quick swap of large energy storage units such as batteries are disclosed, and further, an algorithm which may be used to optimize numerous aspects of the regional hybrid-to-electric aircraft known as Total Cost Door to Door or TCD2D.

The present invention relates to an Electronic Unit, EU, for a tactile cueing apparatus for a vehicle. The tactile cueing apparatus augments feel for an operator of the vehicle. The EU comprises a first channel. The first channel is configured to monitor communication for determining a control mode of the first channel. The control mode comprises a Reversionary Active Mode, the Reversionary Active Mode providing a control characteristic for limited augmented feel capability to the operator of the vehicle; and an Active Mode, wherein the Active Mode providing a control characteristic for fully augmented feel capability to the operator of the vehicle.
