| 7331548 | Control linkage for T-tail aircraft elevator surfaces Systems and methods for implementing control linkages that may be employed to produce synchronous motion in two adjacent controlled devices controlled by a common input. In one example implementation, a semi-rigid modified constant velocity (CV) joint control linkag... | 02/19/2008 |
| 6685137 | Flight control system for an aircraft The invention provides an aircraft having a flight control system (20) comprising an aerodynamic lift generator, and a control system in use the lift provided by the lift generator. The lift control system in one embodiment uses a concentrated mass mounte... | 02/03/2004 |
| 6131068 | Accuracy of an inertial measurement unit A missile guidance system employs a strap down inertial measurement unit with a separate accelerometer and star sensor that are moved for preflight accelerometer initialization. During flight, light is directed on the accelerometer and inertial measuremen... | 10/10/2000 |
| 4428550 | Vibration-insulating stability improving torque force device A conventional aircraft having horizontal stabilizers and hinged elevators, which is controlled, preferably, through push-pull rods, is provided with a dynamic torque (bob) weight connected to a rotating member, in the direct line of control to the elevat... | 01/31/1984 |
| 3955310 | Automatic control device for tethered model airplane A model airplane control device for automatically adjusting to wind conditions to maintain a generally level flight. The control device is responsive to changes in the inertial forces of the model airplane while in flight, eliminating the need for control... | 05/11/1976 |
