Definitions
- This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for flying an aircraft. More particularly, this disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a tailstrike warning by analyzing an angle of attack of the aircraft.
- a tailstrike can result in extensive damage to an aircraft.
- a tailstrike is said to occur when the tail section of an aircraft strikes the ground, either on takeoff (when the aircraft climbs too rapidly) or landing (when the nose is raised too much during flare).
- a tailstrike may result in unseen structural faults that can lead to a delayed fracture. For this reason, aircraft that suffer a tailstrike typically undergo a variety of tests to ensure reliability for further flight. The subsequent loss in airtime may result in lost revenues for the aircraft operator.
- Tailstrikes are particularly common with transport planes.
- a possible reason is that a transport plane's weight can vary substantially between flights, which may result in substantial variances in the aircraft's responsiveness to pitch rotation. This, in turn, may result in crew under/overestimating pitch rotation, which can lead to a tailstrike.
- Tailstrikes are also common when a pilot is familiar with lighter cargo— passenger flights, for example— and then begins operating heavier flights.
- An aircraft with a heavier cargo may have a different sensitivity to pitch rotation commands. This change in sensitivity may result in the inexperienced pilot under/overestimating pitch rotation.
- Some known solutions to tailstrikes include adding a skid or wheel in the rear of the aircraft to prevent damage. This has limited efficacy, however, because the skids only reduce the impact of the strike; structural damage can and does occur.
- Some other known solutions include offering a warning to the crew of an impending tailstrike.
- tailstrike warnings are determined by analyzing the aircraft pitch angle. This has proved an unsatisfactory solution, however, because pilots typically do not rely on pitch angle for understanding fight conditions. Because pilots do not rely on pitch angle for understanding flight conditions, pitch angle based information can be disorienting, especially during takeoff and landing when the pilot is absorbing and processing large quantities of critical information. As a result, analyzing pitch angle for tailstrike warnings has proven to have limited effectiveness in combating tailstrikes.
- This disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a tailstrike warning for an aircraft through analyzing an angle of attack of the aircraft.
- the systems and methods may provide pilots with warnings that are more readily understood and more useful in taking corrective actions.
- a tailstrike warning method for an aircraft includes receiving an angle of attack of the aircraft, determining a tailstrike proximity of the aircraft by analyzing the angle of attack of the aircraft, comparing the tailstrike proximity of the aircraft to a threshold, and providing the tailstrike warning when the comparison indicates the aircraft meets the threshold.
- determining the tailstrike proximity includes analyzing a rate of change of the angle of attack of the aircraft.
- the angle of attack is adjusted by the rate of change multiplied by a constant.
- determining the tailstrike proximity includes determining the difference between a maximum allowable angle of attack and an adjusted angle of attack.
- the adjusted angle of attack includes the angle of attack and a time rate of change of the angle attack multiplied by a constant.
- the maximum allowable angle of attack is determined by adjusting a tailstrike angle of attack by a safety margin.
- the safety margin includes a number of degrees from the tailstrike angle of attack.
- the tailstrike warning includes an audible warning.
- the tailstrike warning includes modifying a flight director.
- modifying the flight director includes adding a tailstrike proximity ceiling on the flight director.
- a position of the tailstrike proximity ceiling on the flight director is determined by the tailstrike proximity.
- an aircraft flight director includes a display, an aircraft symbol on the display, and a tailstrike proximity ceiling positioned on the display above the aircraft symbol.
- the tailstrike proximity ceiling on the display is determined by analyzing an angle of attack of the aircraft.
- the tailstrike proximity ceiling is determined by analyzing a difference between a maximum allowable angle of attack and an adjusted angle of attack.
- the adjusted angle of attack includes the angle of attack and a time rate of change of the angle attack multiplied by a constant.
- the maximum allowable angle of attack is determined by adjusting a tailstrike angle of attack by a safety margin.
- the safety margin includes a number of degrees from the tailstrike angle of attack.
- the position of the tailstrike proximity ceiling is determined by multiplying the difference between the maximum allowable angle of attack and the adjusted angle of attack by a constant.
- the constant is determined by analyzing a nominal angle of attack of the aircraft for a landing or an approach and a reference airspeed of the aircraft.
- the constant is determined so that the tailstrike proximity ceiling on the display is not visible when the aircraft is flying at the nominal angle of attack for a landing or an approach and at the reference airspeed.
- One embodiment includes a control system for activating a tailstrike warning for an aircraft.
- the system receives an angle of attack of the aircraft, determines a tailstrike proximity of the aircraft by analyzing the angle of attack of the aircraft, compares the tailstrike proximity of the aircraft to a threshold, and activates the tailstrike warning when the comparison indicates the aircraft meets the threshold.
- an aircraft tailstrike warning method includes identifying a first value representing an aircraft angle of attack, identifying a second value
- the aircraft angle of attack exhibits a time rate of change and the method includes modifying the first value in accordance with the time rate of change of the aircraft angle of attack. In some embodiments, the method includes modifying the warning in accordance with changes in the difference between the first value and the second value. In some embodiments, the maximum aircraft angle of attack includes an angle of attack at which aircraft tailstrike occurs minus a third value. [0018] In one embodiment, an aircraft tailstrike warning method includes identifying a first value representing an aircraft angle of attack, identifying a second value

- Figure 5B depicts a visual tailstrike proximity warning system, in accordance with an embodiment.
- a tailstrike warning for an aircraft is determined by analyzing an angle of attack of the aircraft.
- the systems and methods may provide pilots with warnings that are more readily understood and more useful in taking corrective actions.
- Figure 1 depicts an example of an aircraft 100 and its angle of attack a, flight path angle ⁇ , and pitch angle ⁇ , in accordance with an embodiment.
- an aircraft's angle of attack can be understood to include the angle between a reference line of the aircraft (for example, the chord line, identified as 102 in Figure 1 ) and a flight-path (a vector representing the relative motion of the aircraft through the surrounding air, identified as 104 in Figure 1 ).
- an aircraft's flight path angle can be understood to include the angle between the flight path vector and the horizontal (identified as 106 in Figure 1 ).
- an aircraft's pitch angle can be understood to include the angle between the reference line of the aircraft and the horizontal. Both pitch and flight path angle are both measured from the horizontal 106 and the counterclockwise direction is assumed to be positive.
- Figure 1 illustrates this relationship during a positive pitch descent.
- the flight path angle is negative since the aircraft is descending.
- the angles are related by Equation 1 :
- Equation 1 When an aircraft is on the ground, the angle between the flight path vector and the horizontal—the flight path angle— is zero. When the flight path angle goes to zero, the relationship in Equation 1 becomes Equation 2:
- Figure 2 depicts a flight sequence 200 for an aircraft during landing, in accordance with an embodiment.
- Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between angle of attack a, flight path angle ⁇ , and pitch angle ⁇ of an aircraft during the landing sequence.
- the first stage 202 of the sequence of Figure 2 illustrate the aircraft in approach. As can be seen in the first stage 202, there is an angle (i.e., the flight path angle) between the flight path vector 210 and the horizontal (i.e., the ground 212) during approach.
- an angle i.e., the flight path angle
- the aircraft When the aircraft touches down, the aircraft begins to move parallel to the horizontal. This can be seen in the second 204 and third stage 206 of the landing sequence (touchdown and roll, respectively). Thus, the flight path vector and the horizontal are aligned beginning at the second stage 204 (touchdown) and so the flight path angle goes to zero. The angle of attack (between the flight path vector 210 and the chord line 208) may be non-zero during the second stage 204 (touchdown), but goes to zero during the third stage 206 (ground roll).
- Tailstrikes occur when an aircraft is on the ground and an aircraft's pitch exceeds a critical angle, referred to herein as the tailstrike pitch angle 0 ts .
- the angle of attack equals the pitch angle when the aircraft is on the ground, and so the tailstrike angle of attack (a ts ) is equal to the tailstrike pitch angle (0 ts ) when a tailstrike occurs. Accordingly, as an aircraft's pitch angle approaches a tailstrike pitch, the aircraft's angle of attack also approaches a tailstrike angle of attack.
- some embodiments herein provide a tailstrike warning by analyzing an aircraft's angle of attack rather than the aircraft's pitch.
- this may beneficially allow pilots to receive warnings using more familiar flight parameters.
- pilots are keenly attuned to angle of attack information. By maintaining their focus on angle of attack— rather than diverting it to pitch angle— pilots more easily avoid a tailstrike while also performing other flight maneuvers.
- an aircraft's proximity to a tailstrike may be determined as a function of the angle of attack. In some further embodiments, an aircraft's proximity to a tailstrike may be determined as the difference between a maximum allowable angle of attack (a max ) and a function of the current angle of attack
- the function f(a) includes adjusting the angle of attack for its time rate of change to give a rate adjusted angle of attack (a r ).
- Including the rate adjusted angle of attack may provide for better advanced warning of a tailstrike. For example, an angle of attack that is only a few degrees from a tailstrike angle of attack may not be considered problematic if the angle of attack is maintained. However, an aircraft with an angle of attack that is relatively far from a tailstrike angle of attack may be in a more precarious position if that aircraft also has a high rate of change of angle of attack.
- a r is determined by
- Equation 5 is one example of a function of a rate adjusted angle of attack, and other functions may be used without deviating from the scope of the claimed subject matter.
- k a can be varied to adjust the sensitivity of a r to the rate of change of the angle of attack. Consequently, the sensitivity of the tailstrike proximity (a d ) can be varied by adjusting k a .
- k a may be adjusted for different flight conditions, different aircraft, different cargos, and different crews, for example.
- the tailstrike proximity (a d ) can also be varied by adjusting a max .
- a max may simply be the tailstrike angle of attack a ts . It may be advantageous, however, to provide a safety margin from the tailstrike angle of attack, to account for pilot error, sloped runways, etc.
- a safety margin may be a degree difference from the tailstrike angle of attack. In some embodiments, the degree difference is 2 degrees. In some embodiments, the safety margin may be a percentage difference from the tailstrike angle of attack. In some embodiments, the safety margin may be variable. For example, different safety margins may be used for take-off versus landing, for different cargo weights, for different experience levels of pilots, for different runways, different flight conditions, etc.
- the tailstrike proximity (a d ) is utilized to provide audible and/or visual alarms.
- a sequence of escalating alarms are instigated as the tail strike proximity decreases (that is, as f(a) approaches a max ).
- Figure 3 depicts a method of providing a tailstrike warning for an aircraft 300, in accordance with an embodiment.
- Method 300 begins with receiving an angle of attack of the aircraft 302. The angle of attack is analyzed to determine a tailstrike proximity 304. Once the tailstrike proximity it determined, the proximity is compared to a predetermined threshold 306. When the tailstrike proximity meets the predetermined threshold, method 300 provides a tailstrike warning 308.
- Determining the tailstrike proximity may include analyzing a rate of change of the angle of attack of the aircraft. Analyzing a rate of change of the angle of attack of the aircraft may include any of the algorithms and relations described in this document and may include other algorithms and relations. For example, the angle of attack may be adjusted by the rate of change multiplied by a constant, such as in Equation 5.
- Determining the tailstrike proximity may include determining the difference between a maximum allowable angle of attack and an adjusted angle of attack.
- An example of such a determination includes Equation 4 above, but other algorithms and relations could be used.
- the adjusted angle of attack may include the angle of attack and a time rate of change of the angle attack multiplied by a constant.
- the maximum allowable angle of attack may be determined by adjusting a tailstrike angle of attack by a safety margin, such as the examples described in this document.
- the safety margin may include a number of degrees from the tailstrike angle of attack.
- the tailstrike warning may be an audible warning and/or a visual warning, such as modifying a flight director.
- Modifying a flight director may include adding a tailstrike proximity ceiling on the flight director.
- a position of the tailstrike proximity ceiling on the flight director may be determined by the tailstrike proximity, such as those described below with respect to Figures 5A and 5B.
- Tailstrike warning system 400 includes a tailstrike proximity warning control system 402, which receives inputs from an angle of attack sensor 404 and provides an output to a tailstrike warning module 406.
- tailstrike proximity warning control system 402 After receiving an angle of attack of an aircraft, tailstrike proximity warning control system 402 determines a tailstrike proximity of the aircraft by analyzing the angle of attack of the aircraft, and then compares the tailstrike proximity of the aircraft to a predetermined threshold. When the tailstrike proximity warning control system 402 determines the threshold has been met, the control system sends a signal to the tailstrike warning module 406. A processor or other circuitry may be included in the tailstrike proximity control system 402 to process all data received.
- Angle of attack sensor 404 may determine the aircraft's orientation to oncoming airflow.
- the angle of attack may be determined using AoA Sensors such as Safe Flight Instrument Corporation's Swept Vane AoA Sensor, Paddle Vane AoA Sensor, Integrated AoA Sensor or Lift Transducer.
- AoA Sensors are also produced by UTC, ASI, Thales, and others.
- Angle of attack may also be determined by any other mechanism for measuring angle of attack, such as differential pressure.
- tailstrike warning module 406 may include an audible, visual, tactile, or any other alarm. Such alarms may include flashing lights, horns or other audible alarms, or a voice announcing the tailstrike proximity warning. This may aid pilots who are not focused on the flight director to direct their attention there for a visual indication of tailstrike proximity.
- the frequency of the alarm increases as the safety margin for a tailstrike decreases. The frequency of the alarm may be a linear function of the tailstrike proximity. In some embodiments, the frequency of the alarm may change as the tailstrike proximity meets a sequence of predetermined thresholds.
- FIG. 5A depicts a visual tailstrike proximity warning system, in accordance with an embodiment.
- Flight director 500 includes a fixed aircraft symbol 502, horizon line 504, runway 506, pitch indices 508, and a tailstrike ceiling 510.
- Tailstrike ceiling 510 provides the pilot with a visual indication of the proximity of the aircraft to a tailstrike.
- the position of tailstrike ceiling 510 on flight director 500 is determined by analyzing an aircraft's angle of attack.
- the position of tailstrike ceiling 510 is based on the proximity to a tailstrike (a d ) described above.
- the position of tailstrike ceiling 510 on the flight director may be a linear function of a d .
- the linear function may include multiplying a d by a constant scale factor (k d ).
- k d may be chosen so that the ceiling is not visible on the flight director when the aircraft is at the nominal angle of attack a ref for either takeoff or approach at the normal reference airspeed v ref .
- the deviation (a d , re f) between the maximum allowable angle of attack and the nominal angle of attack may be calculated by
- the scale factor k d can be determined.
- the distance from the aircraft symbol to the top of the flight director is known. Since both a d, re f and the distance from the fixed aircraft symbol to the top of the flight director are known, the scale factor k d can be calculated.
- the distance indicated on the flight director may be a non-linear function of a d .
- Flight director 500 depicts an aircraft on approach to landing, but one of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that a similar display could be used to depict a take-off situation.
- a flight director may include additional information not shown in Figure 5A, as is known in the art. Further, one of skill in the art will readily recognize that other visualizations may be used for the depicting the proximity to a tailstrike and/or providing a tailstrike warning, and that flight director 500 is only one example.
- Figure 5B depicts a visual tailstrike proximity warning system, in accordance with an embodiment.
- Flight director 550 includes a fixed aircraft symbol 552, horizon line 554, pitch indices 556, and a tailstrike ceiling 558. Tailstrike ceiling 558 differs from tailstrike ceiling 510 in that it allows a pilot to see the area of the flight director above the tailstrike ceiling.
