Abstract

In an aircraft under autopilot control, a stall protection system overrides established autopilot parameters in response to a monitored angle of attack for the aircraft exceeding a trigger angle of attack. The trigger angle of attack is established with reference to a stick shaker angle of attack for the aircraft. When the aircraft exceeds the trigger angle of attack, the stall protection system produces an error signal causing the autopilot to seek an angle of attack 1 degree below the stick shaker angle of attack. Initially, the stall protection system provides a boost command to the error signal to accelerate the response of the aircraft to the error signal. The boost command is produced by a driving signal generator that selects one of four driving signals in response to monitored flap angle and impact pressure.
