A system for stabilizing an aircraft includes sensors positioned and disposed at predetermined locations on the aircraft and structured for sensing external forces acting on the aircraft at the sensor locations as a result of rapid changes in atmospheric conditions such as those associated with air turbulence and wind shear. A computer processor receives data from the sensors and activates one or more thrust generators positioned at predetermined locations of the aircraft to counteract the external forces and maintain the desired attitude and stability of the aircraft.

An aircraft stabilizing system for use on aircraft having a fuselage section and wings comprising: sensing means positioned and disposed at a plurality of predetermined locations on the aircraft for detecting and measuring external forces exerted on said aircraft due to sudden changes in atmospheric pressure at said predetermined locations, thrust means for providing a propulsive force sufficient to counteract said external forces detected by said sensing means so that said external forces and said propulsive force are in equilibrium, thereby maintaining the stability of said aircraft, a plurality of ports positioned at predetermined locations and each structured to house said thrust means therein, said ports being oriented at one of a plurality of select angles relative to said aircraft so that said propulsive force may be selectively directed in a specific direction by actuating said thrust means in one or more of said ports oriented in said specific direction, each of said ports including an opening at the external surface of said aircraft and closure means for closing said opening, thereby concealing said thrust means therein, activation means for selectively activating said thrust means, said activation means being operably interconnected to said thrust means, and computer control means for controlling said thrust means, said closure means and said activation means, said computer control means being operably interconnected to said sensing means, said closure means and said activation means, wherein upon detection of said external forces acting on one or more of said predetermined locations by said sensing means, said computer control means operates said closure means in a select one or more of said ports to an open position and further operates said activation means resulting in activation of said thrust means in said select open ports, thereby generating said propulsive force in said specific direction sufficient to counteract said external forces.
