Meeting Recap The February meeting of the Bay of Plenty Branch was held at the clubrooms of the Tauranga Gliding Club on the north west of Tauranga airfield. This was the same venue we had used for the Branch meeting and BBQ last year which was a great place for the AGM and accompanying lecture this year, titled: B787 Operations. The lecture was delivered by Owen Bieleski who holds an ATPL with military transport experience with the RNZAF before embarking on a commercial The extensive use of electric-based systems has career with major airlines overseas.

Owen suggested with the extent of the changes to electrically-based systems, the B787 is sometimes called the ‘electric jet’. Owen explained the B787 is a very different design to its predecessors, with a heavy emphasis on electrical powered systems and multiple layers of automatically managed redundancy.

    PROPULSION SYSTEM/FLIGHT CONTROL INTEGRATION FOR SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT Paul J. Reukauf and Frank W. Burcham , Jr. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center SUMMARY The NASA Dryden Flight Research Center is engaged in several programs to study digital integrated control systems. Such systems allow minimization of undesirable interactions while maximizing performance at all flight conditions. One such program is the YF-12 cooperative control program. In this program, the existing analog air-data computer, autothrottle, autopilot, and inlet control systems are to be converted to digital systems by using a general purpose airborne computer and interface unit. First, the existing control laws are to be programed and tested in flight. Then, integrated control laws, derived using accurate mathematical models of the airplane and propulsion system in conjunction with modern control techniques, are to be tested in flight. Analysis indicates that an integrated autothrottle-autopilot gives good flight path control and that observers can be used to replace failed sensors. INTRODUCTION Supersonic airplanes, such as the XB-70, YF-12, F-111, and F-15 airplanes, exhibit strong interactions between the engine and the inlet or between the propul- sion system and the airframe (refs. 1 and 2) . Taking advantage of possible favor- able interactions and eliminating or minimizing unfavorable interactions is a chal- lenging control problem with the potential for significant improvements in fuel consumption, range, and performance. In the past, engine, inlet, and flight control systems were usually developed separately, with a minimum of integration. It has often been possible to optimize the controls for a single design point, but off-design control performance usually suffered.

  • GENERAL ENGINE BLEED Fokker 50
    Fokker 50 - Bleed Air System GENERAL Bleed-air is used for airconditioning, pressurization, airframe and engine air intake de-icing, and for pressurizing the hydraulic tank. Bleed-air is supplied by the engines. For aircraft equipped with APU On the ground bleed-air can be supplied by the APU for air conditioning. ENGINE BLEED Tappings Bleed-air is obtained via tappings on each engine, referred to as Low-Pressure (LP) bleed and High-Pressure (HP) bleed. LP-bleed is normally in use during flight. HP-bleed will be used at idling and low engine speeds, when LP-bleed is insufficient. The HP-bleed valve will open automatically provided the BLEED push button, located at the AIR CONDITIONING panel, is blank. Bleed-air from the HP-Bleed is prevented from flowing into the LP-bleed by a check valve. Duct leak detection A duct leak between the engine tappings and the firewall, resulting in a significant leakage of bleed-air, is monitored by the engine fire detection and warning system. Distribution Bleed-air from both engines is used to supply the following services: • Airframe, and engine air intake de-icing, see ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION • Hydraulic tank pressurization, see HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. • Airconditioning and pressurization, see below. • If mentioned in aircraft system deviation table: Watertank pressurization, see AIRCRAFT GENERAL. Page 1 Fokker 50 - Bleed Air System BLEED AIR FOR AIRCONDITIONING Supply Controls and indicators are located at the AIRCONDITIONING panel. Bleed-air is available when the engines are running and the BLEED push buttons are blank. When a BLEED push button is depressed to OFF, the Pressure Regulating/Shut-Off valve (PR/SO) and the HP- bleed valve close.

Tuning of such systems makes additional flight-tests necessary, generating large expenses. In this paper, several control approaches to improve the performance of bleed-air systems are compared. These approaches combine a base-controller with stiction-compensation techniques. The different approaches are implemented, optimized and evaluated using a high-fidelity bleed- air system model, described in the equation-based modelling language Modelica. Results indicate that interaction between different valves should be reduced as much as possible. If a suitable base control approach is chosen, the influence of a superimposed stiction compensation technique seems to be small.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION the Environmental Control System (ECS)
    Canadair Regional Jet 100/200 - Environmental Control System 1. INTRODUCTION The environmental control system (ECS) provides temperature and pressure regulated air for heating, ventilating and pressurizing the flight and passenger compartments. Exhaust air, from the compartments, is used to ventilate the avionics and cargo compartments, before being dumped overboard through two outflow valves. For ground operations, pneumatic air to operate the ECS can be obtained from: A ground air supply cart connected to the aircraft The auxiliary power unit (APU) Either or both engines. During flight, the engines normally supply bleed air for operating the air-conditioning, pressurization, and avionics cooling systems. ECS warnings and cautions are displayed on the engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) primary page. ECS advisory and status messages are displayed on the EICAS status page. Views of the aircraft ECS temperature, pressure, valve positions and system status indications are displayed on the EICAS ECS synoptic page.

  • Bombardier Challenger 605 - Power Plant
    Bombardier Challenger 605 - Power Plant GENERAL The Challenger 605 is equipped with two General Electric CF34-3B high-bypass ratio turbofan engines. The dual-assembly engine consists of a fan rotor (N1) and a compressor rotor (N2). The N1 rotor is comprised of a single-stage fan connected through a shaft to a four-stage low-pressure turbine. The N2 rotor is a 14-stage axial flow compressor connected through a shaft to a two-stage high-pressure turbine. The accessory gearbox is mechanically driven by the N2 compressor. Normal takeoff thrust rating is 8,729 pounds per engine. During engine-out operation, the automatic performance reserve (APR) system increases thrust on the operable engine to 9,220 pounds. FLAT-RATED THRUST Outside air temperature and pressure altitude are determining factors in achieving takeoff and APR power. Increases in ambient temperature or pressure altitude adversely affect the engine’s ability to produce rated thrust. The CF34-3B is flat-rated to ISA + 15°C at sea level. ENGINE CONSTRUCTION Description The CF34 power plant has two independently rotating major assemblies. The N1 section consists of a fan rotor that is driven through a shaft by a four-stage low-pressure turbine. The N2 section is comprised of a 14-stage axial flow compressor, a combustor, an accessory gearbox and a two-stage high-pressure turbine. The compressor is driven by the high-pressure turbine. Flow Distribution Engine airflow passes through the single-stage fan, and is divided into two airflow paths: • Bypass air – Air is accelerated by the single-stage N1 fan only, and is ducted around the engine nacelle.

  • Pneumatic, Air Conditioning, Pressurization System
    AIR - PNEUMATIC, AIR CONDITIONING, PRESSURIZATION PNEUMATIC SYSTEM The Pneumatic System is normally supplied by the Engine's compressor sections. The Pneumatic System may also be supplied by APU bleed air or by an external air source on the ground. Certain systems are given priority depending on aircraft operation and conditions. BLEED AIR FUNCTIONS Pressurization Air Conditioning Engine START Anti Ice Electronics Cooling PNEUMATIC SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION The Pneumatic System is divided by the Cross Bleed Valve (CBV). Normal flight procedures isolate the LEFT and RIGHT sides of the Pneumatic System after engine start. Normally, each engine supplies air to its respective: 1) Air Conditioning Pack; 2) ENGINE Anti Ice system; and 3) WING Anti Ice system. The STAB Anti Ice system uses air from the LEFT side of the Pneumatic System. CROSS BLEED VALVE The Cross Bleed Valve (CBV) permits the connection between the two sides of the Pneumatic System. The CBV allows bleed air to cross feed to the Packs in case of APU operation or engine pneumatic power supply failure. The CBV is electrically controlled by the XBLEED knob on the overhead panel. The CBV is pneumatically actuated. The CBV AUTO mode automatically selects the available pneumatic sources. If Anti Ice is used when operating below 24,600', the CBV AUTO mode will OPEN both HSV's and will automatically CLOSE the LEFT Pack Valve. If one Pack has failed then the logic will keep the operating Pack. ENGINE BLEED AIR The LP bleed air is taken from the 9th stage compressor section and passes through a Bleed Air Check Valve (BACV).
