Title:
REFUELING BOOM CONTROL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014034394
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a refueling boom control system of an aircraft whose input control is not complicated and which does not require time in training and in practicing on different types of tanker aircraft.

A refueling controller 426 is configured to receive an arbitrary number of operator commands 424 for moving a refueling boom 412 on a tanker aircraft 402 in a desired direction. The arbitrary number of operator commands define at least one of an azimuth movement and an elevation movement of the refueling boom during flight of the tanker aircraft. The refueling controller is further configured to generate an arbitrary number of intermediate commands 458 for moving the refueling boom in the desired direction as defined by the arbitrary number of operator commands. The arbitrary number of intermediate commands defines at least one of a roll movement and a pitch movement such that the refueling boom moves in the desired direction.
