Hub, Blade and Engine - Subsystem Interaction Part 1

Recent advances in RPV communications assure the feasibility of the Blade Flyer concept, but a less expensive secure Wi-Fi network can be established using the unique MAC address of each computer.

The flight control system consists of six computers.

Level Flight Computer

Maintains level flight by commanding Blade Computer, learns engine condition from Engine Sensor Computer, and reports attitude, velocity and engine condition to Controller Computer.

Controller Computer

Demands direction and velocity changes from Perturbation Computer and payload yaw changes from payload orientation device, and displays reported results to pilot.

Perturbed Flight Computer

Effects direction and velocity changes requested by Controller Computer as best it can by demanding more or less symmetric or asymmetric blade lift relative to level flight from the Blade Computers and asymmetric drag from the Vane computers.
