Abstract
496,054. Controlling aircraft. ANDREWS, W. R., and SCOTTISH AIRCRAFT & ENGINEERING CO., Ltd. May 26, 1937, No. 14635. [Class 4] An aircraft control includes an overbalanced control surface 1, an auxiliary surface 2 pivoted thereto, pilot-operated means for, and which permits movement under aerodynamic forces of, the surface 1 and means for operating the surface 2 which is arranged so that the surface 2 moves relatively to and in the same direction as the surface 1. As shown, the surface 2 is controlled through a piston-rod 9 connected to a horn 4. The piston carried by the rod 9 moves in a cylinder B pivotally mounted on the aircraft. A horn 3 on the surface 1 is con. nected to a piston moving in a cylinder A and connected to a lever arm 6 controlled by the pilot. Opposite ends of the cylinder A are connected to opposite ends of the cylinder B. The cylinder B is of smaller diameter and longer than cylinder A. The lengths of the links 5, 9 and their points of attachment may be capable of adjustment on the ground for trimming purposes. The mechanism may be duplicated and damping-devices may be inserted in the pilot's controls. Movements of the pistons may be damped.
