Patent ID: 8090482

Claim:
An aircraft with at least one rotating machine creating troublesome vibrations, said aircraft comprised of an aerostructure, said aircraft including: a power source, said power source outputting a plurality of electromagnetic force generator power outputs, said aerostructure including a plurality of distributed active vibration control system sites, at least a first distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator, said first distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator including a first distributed electronic control system and a first electromagnetically driven mass, said first distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator fixed to said aerostructure at a first distributed active vibration control system site, at least a second distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator, said second distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator including a second distributed electronic control system and a second electromagnetically driven mass, said second distributed active vibration electromagnetic force generator fixed to said aerostructure at a second distributed active vibration control system site, a plurality of electrical power distribution lines, said electrical power distribution lines connecting said electromagnetic force generators with said power source with said electromagnetic force generator power outputs outputted to said electromagnetic force generators, a distributed force generator data communications network, said distributed force generator data communications system network linking together said at least first and second distributed electronic control systems wherein said distributed electronic control systems communicate force generator vibration control data through said distributed force generator data communications network independently of said electrical power distribution lines to minimize said troublesome vibrations.
