MINIMISING DYNAMIC LOADS ON AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64C13/00 G05D1/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: signal (x) designating external excitation is generated to obtain preliminary drive control signals (y) to actuate aircraft control elements by said signal (x) in compliance with preliminary control rule of reducing dynamic loads on aircraft structure. Error signal (e, e*) that designates operating characteristics of preliminary control is also generated. Preliminary control rule by error signal (e, e*) and/or signal (x) are optimised to minimise dynamic loads. Proposed device incorporates excitation signal (x) generator, control circuit to generate signal (y) to actuate aircraft control elements by said signal (x) in compliance with preliminary control rule of reducing dynamic loads on aircraft structure, error signal generator to generate signal designating operating characteristics of preliminary control in the form of error signal (e, e*), and optimisation circuit to optimise preliminary control rule by error signal (e, e*) and/or signal (x) to minimise dynamic loads on aircraft structure.

EFFECT: efficient minimisation of dynamic loads.
