METHOD FOR CONTROL OF MOVING VEHICLE AND CONTROLLED VEHICLE (MODIFICATIONS) Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: control of moving vehicles, applicable mainly in controlled torpedoes, shells and rockets, providing the controllability and stability in the trajectory within a wide range of the speed of movement, as well as in underwater and flight vehicles of the civilian purpose. SUBSTANCE: the method is based on production of a lift control force due to flow of environment about the rudder made in the form of a combination of bearing surfaces, the direction of environment flow is changed by turning of the forward standing bearing surface before the subsequent bearing surface of the rudder. In the first modification of the claimed controlled vehicle having a body, control actuator and a rudder in the form of combination of bearing surfaces kinematically linked with the output shaft of the control actuator the result is attained due to the fact that the rudder bearing surfaces are positioned in succession in the direction of the body longitudinal axis and installed on shafts, having levers rigidly linked with them, that are hinge-joined to one another by tie-rods, and by a common tie-rod - to the output shaft of the control actuator. In the second modification of the controlled vehicle having a body and a rudder in the form of a combination of bearing surfaces the result is attained due to the fact that the rudder bearing surfaces are positioned in succession in the direction of the body longitudinal axis are rigidly coupled by a crosspiece on the tip chords, and on the side chords by the journal of the shaft positioned between the front point of the side chord of the first bearing surface and the rear point of the side chord of the latter. The expediency of use of one of the two modifications of the controlled vehicle realizing the method of control is determined by the operating conditions and by structural-dimensional limitations claimed to the specific development. EFFECT: reduced power required for control of the moving vehicle due to reduced aerodynamic (hydrodynamic) load on the control actuator. 3 cl, 4 dwg
