3. Autopilot is a system of automatic controls which
holds the aircraft on any selected magnetic
heading…
 In this project our goal is to control the roll angle
of the aircraft in the auto pilot system..

4. Aircraft is controlled by three main surfaces:
1) AILERON
2) RUDDER
3) ELEVATOR
PURPOSE
TO ENABLE THE PILOT TO EXERCISE CONTROL
OVER THE AIRCRAFT DURING ALLL PORTIONS OF
FLIGHT.

5. The ailerons are one of threeThe ailerons are one of three

12. The aircraft roll control provides the
components & functions including:
Controller gain
Aileron actuator
Aircraft dynamics
Gyro

13. Actuator is the device that cause the process to
provide the output..
So,the Aileron Actuator is the device which cause
the movement of ailerons..

16. The ailerons are used to bank the aircraft; to
cause one wing tip to move up and the other
wing tip to move down..
Both the Ailerons always move in opposite to
each other..
Lowering the aileron on one wing raises the
aileron on the other..
The wing with the lowered aileron rises because
of its increase lift, and the wing with the raised
aileron moves downward because of its
decreased lift.

17. Angle which is generated by the movement of
Ailerons is called as Roll Angle.
Roll is defined as a rotation about the
 x-axis, or longitudinal axis, of a flying vehicle.

19. The GYROS (TO SENSE WHAT AIRPLANE IS
DOING)
Directional Gyro(Heading Indicator) is used in an
aircraft to inform the pilot of his heading.
The Gyro works using a gyroscope, tied to the
aircraft horizontal..

21. Flight dynamics is the science of air and space
vehicle orientation and control in three
dimensions..
AirCraft Dynamics uses for determination of the
position and velocity of aircraft at some arbitrary
time..

24. Auto pilot system reduce the work strain of pilot..
Auto pilot roll controlling reduces the fatigue of
controlling the aircraft in flight by the pilot.

25. • It is used in the auto missiles to control the roll
angle..
• It can be used in almost every aircraft for auto
pilot controlling..
