Complemented roll attitude flight control system

摘要

A system and technique is disclosed which provides a complemented roll attitude signal for use in the control system of an aircraft. The complemented roll attitude is produced by combining a yaw rate and true airspeed signal with a conventional roll attitude signal to produce a complemented signal which may be combined with a roll command signal to produce a roll steering signal for controlling aircraft response under non-zero roll attitude conditions of aircraft flight. The complemented roll attitude signal provides improved response to aircraft roll commands under non-zero roll attitude conditions, particularly in helicopter systems.
