Title:
ランデブー軌道に進入する給油機用のシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004533958
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A navigation and guidance computer system using navigation sensors to determine aircraft position, and automatically control the aircraft to fly from an initial position to intercept and follow a crew-selected rendezvous orbit in accordance with Air Traffic Control and military specified rules. It creates maneuvers that result in smooth, efficient motion of the aircraft from an initial position to the execution of a rendezvous orbit. It controls the aircraft by applying commands to the aircraft's autopilot. The system creates the smooth and coordinated maneuvers by considering and anticipating all constraints on the aircraft flight path by creating a single maneuver that is a re-entry maneuver, an over fly maneuver, and a turning maneuver all as a single turn that is contained entirely within the allowable airspace. All maneuvers are created and executed recognizing the turning capability of the aircraft considering allowable bank angles, current wind conditions and true airspeed.
