Abstract:
1. A loss of control inhibitor system for a vehicle, said system comprising: an inceptor for receiving a control input from an operator of said vehicle, an effector for effecting a control output in response to said control input from said operator of said vehicle, an inceptor sensor, wherein said inceptor sensor measures a value of said control input, an effector sensor, wherein said effector sensor measures an actual effector output of said effector, means for modeling a relationship between said control input and said control output for a predetermined range of conditions, wherein said modeling means produces an expected effector output from said control input, means for determining a distortion metric, wherein said distortion metric comprises a difference between said expected effector output and said actual effector output, and means for providing a feedback force to said inceptor, wherein said feedback force is a function of said distortion metric.
