FLIGHT DIRECTOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: devices of data presentation used by the crew members at pilotage of the flight vehicle. SUBSTANCE: the flight director has a screen and means of presentation on the screen of the symbols, fixed and movable display indices initiated on the screen in the form of a simplified image of the aeroplane, means of control of the movable index. The movable index can change its linear dimensions. The means of control of the movable index provide in the director mode of pilotage of the flight vehicle for motion of the movable index horizontally relative to the fixed index in accordance with the value of the error of the directional control. The means of control of the movable index provide in the manual mode of pilotage of the flight vehicle in the route of motion of the movable index relative to the fixed index in the horizontal in accordance with the value of deviation of the flight vehicle from the preset course, and in the vertical-from the preset altitude, rotation of the movable index about the center of symmetry in accordance with the value of deviation of the flight vehicle from the preset bank angle. The means of control of the movable index provide in the mode of manual pilotage of the flight vehicle at landing the motion of movable index relative to the fixed index in the horizontal in accordance with the value of deviation of the flight vehicle from the glide path in the horizontal plane, and in the vertical plane. Variation of the dimensions of the movable index corresponds to the value of deviation from the preset speed in the given modes of pilotage. At zero values of the control errors the movable index is matched with the fixed one in position and linear dimensions. EFFECT: enhanced truth of information presented to the pilot and reduced risk of error for safety of flight. 8 cl, 8 dwg
