US Patent:

45204241, May 28, 1985

Filed:

Jun 13, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/503461

Inventors:

Paul E. Carpenter - Snohomish WA
Charles B. Fisher - Seattle WA
Douglas E. Peash - Enumclaw WA

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Seattle WA

International Classification:

H05K 720

US Classification:

361383

Abstract:

A support rail structure which provides cooling air for removing heat from instruments. The support rail structures provide uniform cooling along each support rail regardless of instrument orientation within the instrument panel assembly. A system which includes the combination of instrument panel support rail and cooling manifold discharges a continuous flow of forced convection air along the base of the support rail. Valves are shown which provide flow-through cooling for cathode ray tube instruments. The instrument panel support rail structures enable a method of supplying conditioned air when concentration of instrument panels dictate that the air conditioning system be integrated within the panels.

Abstract:

Closed loop control of control surfaces is described herein. One disclosed example method includes measuring a flight metric of an aircraft during flight and calculating, using a processor, a deflection of a control surface of the aircraft based on the flight metric. The disclosed example method also includes adjusting the deflection to an effective deflection level based on the calculated deflection to reduce a drag coefficient of the aircraft.
