Advanced flight control subsystem

Abstract

Per United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s long standing airworthiness regulation, Advisory Circular (AC), failures of all systems/components that are catastrophic must be “extremely improbable”. Advanced Flight Control Subsystem shall supplement current commercial passenger aircrafts' Flight Control Computers (FCC) to meet and exceed this requirement.

Claims

I. Advanced Flight Control Subsystem consists of hardware, software, firmware components using algorithm(s) to provide Flight Control Computer (FCC) accurate information to operate modern aircrafts. In case of single or multiple components failure Advanced Flight Control Subsystem will continue to operate in order to achieve 10{circumflex over ( )}−9, or far less than 10{circumflex over ( )}−9 level of probability of flight control system error.

Brief Description of Diagram

[0010] FIG. 1 In a possible scenario, a hypothetical airplane manufacturing company may have decided to use two (2) AOA sensors and synthetic airspeed to simulate airflow around certain type of airplane. However, from actual statistical data and proper logic, the probability of failure of this type of arrangement will not meet FAA's requirement for critical component (flight control) of an aircraft.

[0011] FIG. 2 Advanced Flight Control Subsystem will use artificial intelligence (AI), predicate calculus, correct logic, and computer algorithm(s) in combination with hardware enabling devices to provide accurate information to flight control computer (FCC) meeting or exceeding the FAA requirement probability of error for critical component(s), lower than 10{circumflex over ( )}−9 or far less than 10{circumflex over ( )}−9.
