METHOD TO CONTROL TWIN-ENGINE AIRCRAFT AND SYSTEM TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64C15/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: in control of twin-engine aircraft, control signals are sent from pilot stick to aerodynamic control surfaces and gas dynamic elements representing adjustable nozzles that allow thrust vector deflection. Control signals come along two circuits: aerodynamic control surfaces remote control circuit and thrust vector deflection circuit, and are fed to computing system divided into to operating computing subsystems: primary and auxiliary. The latter is actuated at low flight speeds and large angles of attack. Control system comprises digital computing system consisting of four stand alone units: two operating computing subsystems, primary and auxiliary, altitude-speed parametre computing unit and gas-dynamic parametre computing unit communicated via digital flight data exchange communication channels.

EFFECT: better maneuverability, higher safety and stability due to multi-axis control over thrust vector.
