Improving Pitch Capture for Aircraft Take-Off Rotation Law
Victor Gibert Flight Control Designer, Airbus, Toulouse, France.
Stéphane Delannoy Flight Control Designer, Airbus, Toulouse, France.
Abstract:
The paper describes the lastest improvements made within Airbus flight control laws for the rotation phase. It explains operational constraints such as delayed signals, non-linearities or limitations and proposes a way to answer to industrial needs. It proposes a way to gain in robustness and performance in case of weight on wheel signal delay by consolidating the ground to flight condition and robustify angle-of-attack signal. It changes anti-tail strike law structure to improve electronic tail bumper protection effectiveness. Non-linear effects are finally detailed and tackled. All the improvements allow a better pitch capture during rotation and therefore good aircraft performance.
