| Aircraft Crosswind Control Apparatus |
***New Product For Licensing, Manufacturing, and/or Investors***
As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Aircraft Crosswind Control Apparatus we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.
This unique Aircraft Crosswind Control Apparatus compensates for crosswinds on landings, reducing the stress and side load on the air frame and landing gear, which extends the serviceable life of both and the tires. It also solves the problem of guesswork of when to change rudder at proper crab and altitude to make a safe landing. This makes a potentially dangerous landing a very manageable one.
The Aircraft Crosswind Control Apparatus consists of two mutually identical control surfaces having common end points, respectively. An actuator allows the pilot to move these control surfaces as needed to compensate for the crosswinds on landing, enabling a straight approach with wings level and no crab angle.
Objects of the present invention:
- to provide an aircraft crosswind control apparatus that reduces the stress and side load on the air frame and landing gear which extends the serviceable life of both and the tires
- to provide an aircraft crosswind control apparatus that solves the problem of guesswork of when to change rudder at proper crab and altitude to make a safe landing
- to provide an aircraft crosswind control apparatus that can make a potentially dangerous landing a very manageable one
- to provide an aircraft crosswind control apparatus that includes one or more vertical control surfaces mounted on the fuselage or wings that are controlled from the cockpit, and by rotating these controls right or left one will be able to equalize the drift effect of a crosswind
Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.
