Abstract
856,678. Automatic control systems for aircraft. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Sept. 8, 1958 [Sept. 11, 1957], No. 28736/58. Class 38 (4). In an automatic turn compensator for an aircraft the proportion of a signal/dependent on the secant of the angle of bank, causing operation of a control surface, is dependent on the integrated difference between the secant of bank signal and a signal from an angular accelerometer. To prevent change of altitude during turns effected by an automatic pilot a signal dependent on the secant of the angle of bank of an aircraft is derived from a graded potentiometer 26, Fig. 3, associated with a gyro 32, and applied through a potentiometer 36 to a followup servo-system 48 operating elevators 18. The difference between signals from secant generator 26 and an angular accelerometer 22 are maintained zero by applying them in opposition to operate an integrating motor 61 which adjusts potentiometer 36.
