Introduction: The rapid development of the aviation industry is raising the issue of improving flight safety, especially for passenger air transportation. This article discusses the issue of improving the flight safety of passenger aircraft through the use of a skew control system for wing mechanization, as well as the regulatory framework governing the development and certification of aircraft. Currently, in the development of such systems, non-automated design methods are used, which do not allow achieving the required parameters of the system, taking into account the tight design time. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to improve the accuracy and speed of the skew control system of the wing sections, as well as to increase the speed and quality of the skew control system design. Methods: Within the framework of this work, a method is proposed for determining the optimal parameters of the elements of the skew control system of the wing mechanization based on inductive proximity sensors, namely the geometric dimensions of the targets, due to which an inductive sensor monitors the movement of the wing mechanization elements. This technique is presented in the form of a logical block diagram and can be automated to increase the speed and quality of the skew control system design. Results: The proposed method takes into account when calculating the working stroke of mechanization, the dimensions of the sensor's sensitive element, the parameters necessary for the formation of the corresponding signal by the sensor, and the design features of the sensor installation. The selected parameters allow tracking the skew of each individual wing high-lift section with an accuracy of tenths of a degree. Due to this, the skew control system allows the mechanization to be stopped as quickly as possible, which prevents the occurrence of significant negative moments, breakdowns of the units, and also makes it possible to promptly notify the pilot about aircraft malfunctions. Practical relevance: the practical significance of the proposed method lies in its versatility and the possibility of using it for designing skew control systems based on inductive proximity sensors. Discussion: In the future, this technique can be improved to take into account other parameters of the sensors used and design constraints.
