Abstract:
A system and method of increasing the control authority of redundant stability and control augmentation system (SCAS) actuators by utilizing feedback between systems such that one system may compensate for the position of a failed actuator of the other system. Each system uses an appropriate combination of reliable and unreliable inputs such that unreliable inputs cannot inappropriately utilize the increased authority. Each system may reconfigure itself when the other system actuator fails at certain positions so that the pilot or other upstream input maintains sufficient control authority of the aircraft.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for increasing the authority of a stability and control augmentation system, comprising:\n providing a first actuator; grouping robust inputs into a first group of inputs; grouping non-robust inputs into a second group of inputs; processing the first group of inputs into trusted commands for the actuator; processing the second group of inputs into un-trusted commands for the actuator; providing a set of limits for the un-trusted commands; limiting the contribution of the un-trusted commands based on the set of limits to form limited un-trusted commands; and summing the trusted commands with the limited un-trusted commands, wherein the robust inputs are monitored.
