Introduction

Ryley G. Croghan is an inventor based in Redmond, Oregon. His work includes an aircraft stability system designed to help pilots and flight-control systems identify conditions that may affect safe aircraft operation.

Latest Patents

Croghan is associated with 1 patent, titled “Aircraft Stability Detection Using Fluid Motion for Flight-Control Feedback.” The invention combines an angle-of-attack sensor with liquid-level senders that measure fluid levels and motion in aircraft tanks. Processors compensate for fluid movement and temperature, while an avionics controller combines the sensor data to assess tank levels and aircraft stability. The system can provide flight-control feedback through cockpit warnings, including audible, visual, or haptic alerts, and changes to automated flight processes. Its stated purpose is to help identify performance and structural risks, particularly at low speeds.
