AN AIRCRAFT COMPRISING A DEVICE FOR INFLUENCING THE DIRECTIONAL STABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT, AND A METHOD FOR INFLUENCING THE DIRECTIONAL STABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT

摘要

An aircraft comprising a device for influencing the directional stability of the aircraft, which aircraft comprises: a control-input device; a flight control device; a sensor device for acquiring the rotation rates including the yaw rates, of the aircraft; - wherein the aircraft comprises two tail-mounted flaps (K1, K2), each comprising an actuator that is functionally connected with the flight control device, which tail-mounted flaps (K1, K2) are situated symmetrically to each other in relation to the vertical axis and on opposite sides of the fuselage and are movable between a retracted and an extended position, - wherein the control function is designed in such a manner that the adjusting commands that are generated on the basis of the control commands depending on the acquired rotation rates comprise adjusting commands to the actuators of the tail-mounted flaps (K1, K2) for their actuation, as well as a method for influencing the directional stability of the aircraft (F).
