Abstract

A flight control system use in relation to an aviation vehicle having a thrust vectoring device for producing thrust, an air deflecting device for producing thrust having a box structure, and a computing system for receiving operation requirements is used to orient the thrust device and/or air deflecting device.

Claims

1. A flight management system, use in relation to an aviation vehicle, comprising

a thrust vectoring device for producing thrust, having a nozzle, a pivoting half cylinder side, a pivoting sphere with an inner-threaded aperture, a rotation pin, a passageway, a centered main panel slot, a deployment device, a threaded rod, an outer triangular panel with cut-out, a support means, a continuous hinge, a pivoting hydraulic cylinder, and a triangular main panel,

an air deflecting device for producing thrust, having an open-ended box structure, a box securing plate, a motor shaft, a motor, a motor mount, a flat disc base, a support roller, and a rubber seal, and

a computing system having storage storing machine-executable instructions configured for execution by the computing system in order to cause the computing system to receive operation requirements, the operation requirements used to orient the thrust device and/or the air deflecting device.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the thrust vectoring device decreases the speed of the aviation vehicle.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the air deflecting device further comprises a diagonal cross-brace.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said pivoting half cylinder side rotates between a first position and a second position.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the rotation of the pivoting half cylinder side is initiated by actuating the deployment device.
