Angle Of Attack Automated Flight Control System Vertical Control Function

View page
US Patent:
7959111, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Mar 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/729729
Inventors:
Charles Bradford Dirks - Swisher IA, US
Michael James Krenz - Cedar Rapids IA, US
John Evan Van Rheenen - Marion IA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:
G05D 1/08
US Classification:
244181, 244183, 244188
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an AOA (angle of attack) vertical control function for an AFCS (automated flight control system) for an aircraft. The AOA vertical control function of the AFCS causes the aircraft to climb or descend while maintaining the aircraft at a constant AOA. The AFCS may maintain the constant AOA despite changing air data parameters by increasing or decreasing the thrust of the aircraft, the pitch angle of the aircraft, or the angle of incidence of the aircraft wing. By utilizing AOA, an aircraft can be safely directed to automatically climb or descend to any altitude the aircraft is capable of reaching without the risk of stall (unlike Vertical Speed Mode) or the irritation of the FLCH (Flight Level Change) Mode erratic climb.

Methods And Devices Of An Aircraft Crosswind Component Indicating System

View page
US Patent:
8055395, Nov 8, 2011
Filed:
Jun 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/820940
Inventors:
Charles B. Dirks - Swisher IA, US
Michael J. Krenz - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Pamela K. Hahn - Cedar Rapids IA, US
David W. Jennings - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Tod J. Santel - Robins IA, US
Robert F. Dancer - Marion IA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
G05D 1/12
G08G 5/00
G01S 13/08
US Classification:
701 16, 244183, 340949, 342139
Abstract:
A system for providing crosswind component information to a pilot of an aircraft is disclosed. The system is comprised of a navigation system; datalink system; devices for manual input of data; a crosswind component module consisting of, in part, a processor and database; and an indicating system consisting of, in part, a tactical display unit system of an aircraft. A navigation system may provide flight parameters for measured and intended flight data as inputs. Other data may also be provided from manual input devices and a datalink system as inputs. The processor of the crosswind component module receives the data, retrieves runway direction data, and determines the data of the crosswind components. An indicating system receives the data of the crosswind components and displays this information.

US Patent:
8223119, Jul 17, 2012
Filed:
Jun 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/824265
Inventors:
Michael J. Krenz - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Pamela K. Hahn - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Bryan C. Schultz - Marion IA, US
Charles B. Dirks - Swisher IA, US
Assignee:

International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345156, 340971, 340976, 701418, 701428, 701487, 701488
Abstract:
A system for providing a manipulatable graphical display comprising a user input device responsive to a user input, a cursor control device operably coupled to the user input device, and a menu engine operably coupled to the cursor control device. The cursor control device is further configured to process an output received from the user input device and generate a cursor image positioned on a display in response to the user output suitable for locking onto and tracing a path on the display.

Integrated System For Providing A Journey Log Display And The Automatic Reporting Thereof

View page
US Patent:
8346411, Jan 1, 2013
Filed:
Aug 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/541954
Inventors:
Charles B. Dirks - Swisher IA, US
Michael J. Krenz - Roscoe IL, US
Kevin Delaney - Cedar Rapids IA, US
James L. Scheer - Hiawatha IA, US
Joseph M. Costello - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:
G06F 7/70
US Classification:
701 14, 701 3, 701 4, 701 17, 701467, 701468, 3404255, 34042613, 34042616
Abstract:
An integrated system for providing a reporting point journey log display in an aircraft and for providing the automatic transfer and installation of a reporting point journey log in a ground retention application. The integrated system includes means for procuring and aggregating reporting point on-board aircraft data from aircraft systems. Means are provided for generating a reporting point cockpit message and readback script from the aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data. The aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data is automatically transmitted to a receiving ground application for assembling the data into the form of a reporting point journey log. The reporting point journey log is installed into a ground storage application.

Appl. No.:
12/077299
Inventors:
Michael J. Krenz - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Charles B. Dirks - Swisher IA, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:
G09G 3/02
US Classification:
