US Patent:

20200031461, Jan 30, 2020

Filed:

Jun 14, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/441642

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Gabe Hoffmann - Mountain View CA, US
Olivier Toupet - Stevenson Ranch CA, US

International Classification:

B64C 29/00
G05D 1/08
B64C 27/28
G05D 1/10

Abstract:

Techniques to control flight of an aircraft are disclosed. In various embodiments, a set of inputs associated with a requested set of forces and moments to be applied to the aircraft is received. An optimal mix of actuators and associated actuator parameters to achieve to an extent practical the requested forces and moments is determined, including by minimizing a weighted set of costs that includes costs associated with one or more errors each corresponding to a difference between a requested force or moment and a corresponding force or moment achieved by the computed solution.
