Automatic rejected takeoff system

摘要

A method for automatic rejection takeoff (RTO) of an aircraft monitors a plurality of sensors for an RTO event. Signals are sent to control systems of the aircraft to perform an RTO when the RTO event occurs.

1. A method for automatic rejected takeoff (RTO) of an aircraft, the method comprising:
comparing a first set of input signals from a first plurality of sensors to determine when an Automatic Rejected Takeoff (ARTO) system is enabled, the ARTO system enabled when the first plurality of sensors monitor the aircraft is on ground and a speed of the aircraft is less than a takeoff decision speed V1 for the aircraft; receiving in a control unit of the ARTO system input signals from a second plurality of sensors to monitor for an occurrence of an RTO event; and sending RTO signals from the control unit to one or more control systems of the aircraft to initiate and perform an RTO responsive to enabling the ARTO system and the occurrence of the RTO event; wherein said RTO sending signals from the control unit to the one or more control systems of the aircraft comprises: sending a reverse thrust signal to reverse a thrust of the aircraft in response to the RTO event; sending a speed brake signal to a speed brake actuation control system of the aircraft in response to the RTO event; and sending an auto brake signal to an auto brake system of the aircraft in response to the RTO event.
