Abstract

The aircraft has the capability control of the elevators, rudder, fuel feed, landing flaps, undercarriage mechanisms both with controllers in the cockpit and by remote controllers. A blocking system removes functions of the on-board controllers and is activated by a signal generator in the cockpit that sets the controls to defined values when it activates the blocking systems.

Description

Terroranschläge auf Flugzeuge geschehen in der Regel so, daß Terroristen in das Cockpit eindringen und entweder die Piloten zwingen, zu einem bestimmten Ziel zu fliegen oder selbst das Flugzeug steuern. Das soll mit der Erfindung verhindert werden. Terrorist attacks on airplanes usually happen that terrorists enter the cockpit and either the Force pilots to fly or to a specific destination control the plane yourself. That should be with the invention be prevented.

Voraussetzung für des Gelingen solcher Terroranschläge ist es, daß das Flugzeug steuerbar bleibt. Diese Voraussetzung wird durch das erfinderische Blockiersystem beseitigt:
Das Blockiersystem schaltet die Bordsteuerung aus: Es bewirkt, daß Höhen- und Seitenruder keine Signale mehr vom Steuerknüppel erhalten. Die Aggregate für die Treibstoffzufuhr, die Landeklappen und die Vorrichtungen zum Ein- und Ausklappen des Fahrwerks erhalten keine Signale mehr von den jeweiligen Steuereinrichtungen im Cockpit. Dort, wo diese Signale elektrisch übertragen werden, beispielsweise durch die mechanische Unterbrechung der Leitungen. Bei drahtloser Übertragung beispielsweise damit, daß die Sender zerstört oder von ihrer Stromquelle getrennt werden. Bei mechanischer Übertragung beispielsweise durch die mechanische Zerstörung der Übertragungsmechanik. Immer muß der Vorgang irreversibel in dem Sinn sein, daß die Reaktivierung vom Flugzeug aus nicht möglich ist. The prerequisite for the success of such terrorist attacks is that the aircraft remains controllable. This requirement is eliminated by the inventive blocking system:
The blocking system switches the on-board control off: it causes the elevator and rudder to no longer receive signals from the control stick. The units for the fuel supply, the landing flaps and the devices for folding and unfolding the landing gear no longer receive signals from the respective control devices in the cockpit. Where these signals are transmitted electrically, for example due to the mechanical interruption of the lines. In the case of wireless transmission, for example, that the transmitters are destroyed or disconnected from their power source. In the case of mechanical transmission, for example due to the mechanical destruction of the transmission mechanism. The process must always be irreversible in the sense that reactivation from the aircraft is not possible.

Die Steuerung wird dann von externen Steuerständen übernommen, beispielsweise vom Tower eines Flughafens oder von einem anderen Flugzeug aus. Eine Fernsteuerung ist Stand der Technik. The control is then taken over by external control stations, for example from an airport tower or from one other plane. Remote control is state of the art.

Zweckmäßig wird das Blockiersystem mittels eines Signalgebers im Cockpit aktiviert, beispielsweise einem Fußschalter oder einem anderen mechanischen Druckschalter an einem Ort, der zugleich gut erreichbar und vor einer versehentlichen Fehlbedienung geschützt ist. Das wird mit Anspruch 2 beansprucht. The blocking system is expedient by means of a signal transmitter activated in the cockpit, for example a foot switch or another mechanical pressure switch in one place that easily accessible and in front of an accidental one Incorrect operation is protected. This is claimed with claim 2.

Zwischen der Blockierung der Bordsteuerung und dem Einsetzen der Fernsteuerung kann ein Zeitraum liegen, in dem das Flugzeug steuerlos fliegt. Es ist zweckmäßig, für diesen Zeitraum Einstellungen für die Steuerung vorzuprogrammieren. Beispielsweise kann die Treibstoffzufuhr so eingestellt werden, daß eine langsame Fluggeschwindigkeit vorgegeben wird. Das wird mit Anspruch 3 beansprucht. Between the blocking of the on-board control and the onset the remote control can be a period in which the Airplane flies tax-free. It is appropriate for this Pre-program the settings for the controller. For example, the fuel supply can be adjusted in this way be that a slow flight speed is specified. This is claimed with claim 3.

Ein solcher Einstellwert kann auch variabel sein: beispielsweise kann für die Höhenruder eine automatische Steuerung aktiviert werden, die dafür sorgt, daß die Flughöhe konstant bleibt oder ergänzend eine automatische Steuerung des Seitenruders, die das Flugzeug in einer Warteschleife hält. Dies wird mit Anspruch 4 beansprucht. Such a setting value can also be variable: for example automatic control can be activated for the elevator that ensures that the flight altitude remains constant or in addition an automatic rudder control, that the aircraft is on hold. This is with Claim 4 claims.

Zweckmäßig ist es auch, verschiedene Interims-Steuereinstellungen alternativ vorzugeben, wobei diese teils konstant, teils variabel sein können. Der Signalgeber, mit dem das Blockiersystem aktiviert wird, ermöglicht die Auswahl - beispielsweise zwischen Geradeausflug, Schleife nach rechts oder Schleife nach links. Das wird mit Anspruch 5 beansprucht. It is also useful to have various Alternatively, to specify interim tax settings, some of which are constant, can be partly variable. The signal generator with which Blocking system is activated, allows the selection - for example between straight flight, loop to the right or Loop to the left. This is claimed with claim 5.

Der Möglichkeit, daß es Terroristen gelingt, die Piloten daran zu hindern, das Blockiersystem zu aktivieren, begegnet Anspruch 6. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zum Signalgeber im Cockpit kann das Personal mit tragbaren Signalgebern ausgerüstet werden. The possibility that terrorists succeed, the pilots to prevent the blocking system from being activated Claim 6. Alternatively or in addition to the signal generator In the cockpit, staff can use portable signal transmitters be equipped.

Auch außerhalb des Cockpits sind ortsfeste Signalgeber möglich, sofern sie gegen eine Benutzung durch Unbefugte gesichert sind. Das wird mit Anspruch 7 beansprucht. Fixed signaling devices are also located outside the cockpit possible if it is against use by unauthorized persons are secured. This is claimed with claim 7.

Zweckmäßig wird mit der Aktivierung des Blockiersystems ein Alarmsignal an Flughäfen und andere Flugzeuge ausgestrahlt, um die Fernsteuerung zu veranlassen. Mit diesem Alarm werden zweckmäßig die wichtigsten Flugdaten wie Position, Flughöhe, Richtung und Geshwindigkeit übermittelt. Das wird mit den Ansprüchen 8 und 9 beansprucht. It is useful to activate the blocking system Alarm signal broadcast at airports and other aircraft, to initiate remote control. With this alarm expediently the most important flight data such as position, flight altitude, Direction and speed transmitted. It will be with the Claims 8 and 9 claimed.
