CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC FLIGHT AND WINDSHEAR CONDITIONS

摘要

A flight control system is configured for controlling the flight of an aircraft (1 1) through windshear conditions. The system has means for measuring values of selected flight performance states of the aircraft (11) and a control system for operating flight control devices on the aircraft (11). A windshear detection system located on the aircraft uses at least some of the measurement values of the selected flight performance states to calculate a gust average during flight for comparison to pre-determined values in a table for determining whether windshear conditions exist. The control syslsm then operates at least some of the flight control devices in response to an output of the windshear detection system.
