Trimming surfaces in the automatic plane control process
The directions and speed of development of plane avionics systems are determined by three factors: economical
consideration, required safety levels, and optimized working conditions for the pilot. This article presents the concept
of a system in which the automatic control and stabilization process is effected because of coordinated deflections of
trimming surfaces: the rudder, the elevator, and the ailerons. In particular, this article presents the structure of the
system in the longitudinal movement steering channel by way of deflection of the trimmer of the elevator.
Furthermore, it discusses the results of numerical model simulations, which are compared to the results obtained
during in-flight tests. Additionally, this article specifies general technical requirements for the servomechanisms
intended for the system class discussed herein.
Selection of sufficiently large amplification makes control the plane with relatively small deflections of the
trimmer. In particular, relationship between the deflection of the elevator and the deflection of trimmer, view of a tail
plane and dimensions of the elevator trimmer, the structure and results of the pitch angle control system and
simulation are presented in the article.
