Abstract:
There is provided a dual rack and pinion rotational inerter system for damping movement of a flight control surface of an aircraft having a support structure. The system has a flexible holding structure disposed between the flight control surface and the support structure. The system has a dual rack and pinion assembly held by the flexible holding structure. The system has a first terminal and a second terminal, coupled to the dual rack and pinion assembly. The first terminal is coupled to the flight control surface. The system has a pair of inertia wheels coupled to the flexible holding structure. The system has an axle element inserted through the inertia wheels, the flexible holding structure, and the dual rack and pinion assembly, such that when the flight control surface rotates, the dual rack and pinion rotational inerter system translates and rotates, and movement of the flight control surface is dampened.

Claim (Index 10):
An aircraft, comprising:\n a flight control surface pivotably coupled to a support structure; one or more actuators actuating the flight control surface; and at least one dual rack and pinion rotational inerter system for damping movement of the flight control surface of the aircraft, the at least one dual rack and pinion rotational inerter system comprising:\n a flexible holding structure disposed between the flight control surface and the support structure of the aircraft; \n a dual rack and pinion assembly held by the flexible holding structure; \n a first terminal and a second terminal, each coupled to the dual rack and pinion assembly, the first terminal further coupled to the flight control surface, and the second terminal further coupled to the support structure; \n a pair of inertia wheels coupled to the flexible holding structure; and \n an axle element inserted through the pair of inertia wheels, the flexible holding structure, and the dual rack and pinion assembly, such that when the flight control surface rotates, the at least one dual rack and pinion rotational inerter system translates and rotates, such that movement of the flight control surface is dampened.
