ABSTRACT:
Arcs of segmented spoilers generate a ring on intake airfoil surface of cantilever-suspended jet engines. Strain and temperature sensors on sides of a cantilever connecting structure feed data to a stress-limiting computer whose output communicates with actuator motors of spoiler segments. This stress-feedback network selects and actuates segmented spoiler surfaces to release radial forces that normally are balanced within the engine intake zone. The stress-limiting computer also takes autopilot data of anticipated attitude change patterns and forecasts anticipated strain patterns of an aircraft. An output communication is integrated with an electric power conditioning that actuates motors to position the segmented spoiler barriers.
