From a design point of view, how many pounds of force do you think is the limit to making it a feature you can override near to the ground?
That point, raised a few posts up, would be of interest to anyone interested in this proposed "fix" to a primary flight control.
Question number two: how does one account for and filter out "false positive" signals to command this gadget to pull down when it isn't really needed? Threshold RPM looks to be 97% Nr from the technical description.
For those interested, the patent description is available
