ROTORCRAFT FLY-BY-WIRE STANDARD RATE TURN CONTROL

摘要

A fly-by-wire system for a rotorcraft includes a computing device having control laws. The control laws are operable to engage a roll command or a yaw command in response to deflection of a beep switch (402) of a pilot control assembly, wherein a roll angle for the roll command or a yaw rate for the yaw command is determined based on forward airspeed of the rotorcraft. The beep switch (402) may be disposed on a collective control (264a) of the pilot control assembly. The control laws are further operable to disengage the roll command or the yaw command in response to the beep switch (402) being returned from a deflected position to a neutral position. In representative aspects, the roll angle or the yaw rate may correspond to a standard rate turn ( e.g., 3° per second).
