Title:
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING A PRIORITY SEQUENCE FOR CHANGING A POSITION OR AN ATTITUDE OF AN AIRCRAFT IN HOVER FLIGHT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/094859
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An example method may include receiving data representing an initial position and an initial attitude of an aircraft. The method further includes determining a change to a first attribute and a second attribute of the position or the attitude of the aircraft to achieve a subsequent position and a subsequent attitude. The method also includes determining a priority sequence for changing the first attribute and the second attribute of the position or the attitude of the aircraft based on a first thrust of the actuator to achieve the change to the first attribute and a second thrust of the actuator to achieve the change to the second attribute. The priority sequence is configured to cause changes to the first attribute before causing changes to the second attribute where the actuator is unable to concurrently provide the first thrust and the second thrust.
