Autopilot
In the early days of aviation, flights were short, and a pilot's main concern was not crashing to the ground after a few exhilarating moments in
71
the air. As the technology improved, however, increasingly longer flights were possible - first across continents, then across oceans, then around the world. Pilot fatigue became a serious concern on these epic journeys. How could a lone pilot or a small crew stay awake and alert for hours, especially during monotonous sessions of high-altitude cruising?
The autopilot, or automatic flight control system, invented by Lawrence Burst Sperry, linked three gyroscopes to an aircraft's surfaces controlling pitch, roll and yaw. The device made corrections based on the angle of deviation between the flight direction and the original gyroscopic settings. Sperry's revolutionary invention was capable of stabilizing normal cruising flight, but it could also perform unassisted takeoffs and landings.
The automatic flight control system of modern aircraft differs little from the first gyroscopic autopilots. Motion sensors – gyroscopes and accelerometers - collect information on aircraft attitude and motion and deliver that data to autopilot computers, which output signals to control surfaces on the wings and tail to maintain a desired course.

6.3.2. Read the text and find answers to the following questions:
1. What does a conventional fixed-wing aircraft flight control
system consist of?
2. What is the main function of aircraft engine controls?
3. When did the basic system on aircraft appeare?
4. What are the primary cockpit flight controls?
5. What is the function of control yokes in an aircraft?
6. What is the function of rudder pedals?
7. What is the function of throttle controls?
8. Who pioneered the basic pattern for modern flight controls?
A conventional fixed-wing aircraft flight control system consists of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft's direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered as flight controls as they change speed.
The fundamentals of aircraft controls are explained in flight dynamics. The basic system in use on aircraft first appeared in a readily recognizable form as early as April 1908, on Louis Blériot's Blériot VIII pioneer-era monoplane design1.
Primary controls
Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows:
a control yoke (also known as a control column), center stick or side-
stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick),

The Blériot VIII was a French pioneer era aeroplane built by Louis Blériot, significant for its adoption of both a configuration and a control system that were to set a standard for decades to come.

governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early aircraft designs) when turned or deflected left and right, and moves the elevators when moved backwards or forwards;
rudder pedals, or the earlier, pre-1919 "rudder bar", to control yaw,
which move the rudder; left foot forward will move the rudder left for instance;
throttle controls to control engine speed or thrust for powered
aircraft.
The control yokes also vary greatly amongst aircraft. There are yokes where roll is controlled by rotating the yoke clockwise/counterclockwise (like steering a car) and pitch is controlled by tilting the control column towards you or away from you, but in others the pitch is controlled by sliding the yoke into and out of the instrument panel (like most Cessnas, such as the 152 and 172)2, and in some the roll is controlled by sliding the whole yoke to the left and right (like the Cessna 162)3. Centre sticks also vary between aircraft. Some are directly connected to the control surfaces using cables, others (fly-by-wire airplanes) have a computer in between which then controls the electrical actuators.
Blériot VIII at Issy-les-Moulineaux, the first flightworthy aircraft design to have the initial form of modern flight controls for the pilot.
Even when an aircraft uses variant flight control surfaces such as a V­tail ruddervator, flaperons, or elevons, to avoid pilot confusion the aircraft's flight control system will still be designed so that the stick or yoke controls pitch and roll conventionally, as will the rudder pedals for yaw. The basic pattern for modern flight controls was pioneered by French aviation figure Robert Esnault-Pelterie, with fellow French aviator Louis Blériot popularizing Esnault-Pelterie's control format initially on Louis' Blériot VIII monoplane in April 1908.

The Cessna 152 is an American two-seat, fixed tricycle gear, general aviation airplane, used primarily for flight training and personal use. It was based on the earlier Cessna 150, including a number of minor design changes and a slightly more powerful engine running on 100LL aviation gasoline. The Cessna 162 Skycatcher is an American side-by-side two-seat, high-wing, strut-braced, tricycle gear light­sport aircraft (LSA) that was designed and produced by Cessna between December 2009 and December 2013.

In some aircraft, the control surfaces are not manipulated with a linkage. In ultralight aircraft and motorized hang gliders, for example, there is no mechanism at all. Instead, the pilot just grabs the lifting surface by hand (using a rigid frame that hangs from its underside) and moves it.
6.3.3. Find the equivalents of the following Russian phrases in
the text.
Самолет обычной схемы, система управления полетом, кабина самолета, направление самолета в полете, сверхлегкий самолет, основы управления полетом, двигатель воздушного судна, изменить скорость, центральная ручка управления, боковая ручка управления, отклониться влево, поворачивать руль высоты, педаль руля, контролировать скорость двигателя, моторный самолет, поворачивать штурвал по часовой стрелке, переместить штурвал управления на себя/к себе, несущая аэродинамическая поверхность.
6.3.4. Translate the following sentences from Russian into English:
1. Обычная система управления самолета состоит из поверхности
управления полетом, соответствующих механизмов управления кабины, соединительных рычагов и необходимых рабочих механизмов для управления направлением полета.
2. Как правило, основные средства управления полетом в кабине
это штурвал управления, педали руля и рычаги управления двигателя для управления частотой вращения двигателя.
3. Штурвалы управления также очень различаются в различных
самолётах. Есть штурвалы, где крен регулируется вращением штурвала по часовой стрелке / против часовой стрелки (как при управлении автомобилем), а шаг регулируется путем наклона управляющей колонны к вам или от вас, но в других крен регулируется путем скольжения штурвала внутрь и наружу.
6.3.5. Which words go together according to the text, make word combinations and translate them.
control throttle flight rudder
linkage system design dynamics
75
connecting cockpit hang lifting aircraft operating
glider surface mechanism yoke pedal yaw controls
6.3.6. Translate the following words from English into Russian and insert them into the text.
elevator trim, wing flaps, attitude, rudder, ailerons, slats,
spoilers, air brakes, variable-sweep wings
Secondary controls
In addition to the primary flight controls for roll, pitch, and yaw, there are often secondary controls available to give the pilot finer control over flight or to ease the workload. The most commonly available control is a wheel or other device to control (1)….., so that the pilot does not have to maintain constant backward or forward pressure to hold a specific pitch (2)…. (other types of trim, for (3) …. and (4) ….. are common on larger aircraft but may also appear on smaller ones). Many aircraft have (5) .….., controlled by a switch or a mechanical lever or in some cases are fully automatic by computer control, which alter the shape of the wing for improved control at the slower speeds used for take-off and landing. Other secondary flight control systems may be available, including (6) ….., (7)….., (8)….. and (9) …..
