US Patent:

20120018574, Jan 26, 2012

Filed:

Jul 27, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/192445

Inventors:

Janice Ilene Bayer - Seaford VA, US

Assignee:

BOREALIS TECHNICAL LIMITED - London

International Classification:

B64C 25/50
G05D 1/02

US Classification:

244 50, 701 3

Abstract:

This application describes the software invented to control an electric motor system. The electric motor system is mounted on one or more aircraft main wheels or nose wheels to drive an aircraft independently on the ground without aircraft engines or tow vehicles. The software uses closed-loop control together with several other control laws to operate the drive motor or motors. Knowledge of the current operating state of the drive motor, together with knowledge of the commands given to taxi forward, taxi in reverse, or brake in reverse, is used to configure the motors to optimal operating parameters. The software architecture is described along with the pilot interface and many details of software implementation.

US Classification:

701 3, 318609, 318610, 244103 R, 318569

Abstract:

This application describes the software invented to control a dual electric motor system. The dual electric motor system is a Chorus Motor system applied to electric drive for aircraft taxi. The software uses closed-loop control together with several other control laws to operate the motors. Knowledge of the current operating state of the motors, together with knowledge of the commands given to taxi forward, taxi in reverse, or brake in reverse, is used to configure the motors to optimal operating parameters. The software architecture is described along with the pilot interface and many details of software implementation.
