System and Method For Desaturation of a Control Moment Gyroscope
A method of de-saturating a control moment gyroscope that leverages a torque on an aircraft that is generated by airflow over the aircraft. As an aircraft navigates through an airspace, the aircraft may destabilize and reorient to form a sideslip angle that forms the airflow torque on the aircraft....

Zusammenfassung: | A method of de-saturating a control moment gyroscope that leverages a torque on an aircraft that is generated by airflow over the aircraft. As an aircraft navigates through an airspace, the aircraft may destabilize and reorient to form a sideslip angle that forms the airflow torque on the aircraft. The control moment gyroscope may be de-saturated into a neutral position that in turn exerts a torque on the aircraft that counters the airflow torque. A scissor pair of first and second control moment gyroscopes can be used for generating a torque in a single plane. |
