ELECTRIC ACCELERATION ASSIST FOR SHORT TAKEOFF AND LANDING CAPABILITIES IN FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT

摘要

A system for managing the ground roll of the landing gear of an aircraft includes an electrical motor, a battery, and an electronic motor controller. The electrical motor is operably associated with landing gear and configured to control the rotation associated therewith. The battery is operably coupled to the electrical motor and configured to supply power thereto. The electronic motor controller is configured to control the flow of electrical power between the battery and the electrical motor and the resultant torque associated with the electrical motor. The electronic motor controller is adapted to communicate with the throttle control of the aircraft. The electronic motor controller cooperates with one or more aircraft controls to provide power to the electrical motor as needed to control the rotation of the landing gear during aircraft takeoff or aircraft landing.
