APU on steroids Providing power to a 2MW generator (the most powerful ever flown, according to Rolls-Royce), will be a R-R AE2100 gas turbine, normally used to power the C-130. Note intake for this turbine in rear fuselage. Electric thrust A single Honeywell turbofan will be swapped for a 2MW Siemens electric motor. The fan and nacelle will use an exist- ing R-R design from its AE3007 engine. The 146 was chosen as a four-engined aircraft, as it provides a safety margin and allows the team to potentially convert a second turbofan to electric power if initial tests are successful. Airbus 4 AEROSPACE / JANUARY 2018 Optimising flight Aimed to fly in 2020, the E-Fan X will explore thermal effects, power management, altitude and dynamic effects and electromagnetic issues of this 3,000volt power system. On a production hybrid-electric airliner, adding additional power from the batteries for the most energy intensive phases of flight will allow a smaller turbofan to be used in cruise, dramatically reducing fuel burn. Flightdeck Airbus will supply the cockpit HMI (human machine interface) for the E-Fan X, as well as the HEPS (hybrid electric propulsion system) ‘e-Supervisor’. AEROSPACE E-Fan X charges ahead Officially announced at the Royal Aeronautical Society HQ on 28 November was a partnership between airframer Airbus, engine-maker Rolls-Royce and electrics specialist Siemens to develop a hybrid-electric flight demonstrator called the E-Fan X. Based on a BAe 146 RJ, the E-Fan X, set to fly in 2020, will be used to explore hybrid-electric flight, which promises lower noise and 'double digit' fuel savings – opening up new possibilities for greener, quieter regional airliners in the 2030s. @aerosociety i Find us on LinkedIn f Find us on Facebook www.aerosociety.com JANUARY 2018 5 Radome GENERAL AVIATION AEROSPACE The Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC) has carried out what it says is 'a first' in Pilatus PC-24 awarded aviation safety with collision testing between a small UAV and passenger aircraft.

  • A World First Which Affects Everybody D.J
    A WORLD FIRST WHICH AFFECTS EVERYBODY D.J. Farrar O.B.E. , M.A., C.Eng., F.R.Ae.S., Hon. F.I.E.D. An historic event is one that affects you, and affects everybody. How many computers do you have in your house? Not the one you use, the ones that control things - in the refrigerator, in your car, in the washing machine, etc. Recently the professional institutions have been researching where and how Process Control by Computer was achieved for the first time. The answer is that it was achieved in Britain, and the new aero museum in Bristol will feature it because it has been rebuilt by a team of enthusiasts. It controls an anti aircraft fire unit and the Bloodhound 2 guided weapon, both on the ground and in flight, and was one reason for the very long service life it had. The computer involved is the Ferranti Argus. HOW IT CAME ABOUT Digital computers for process control were developed at the end of the 1950s. They had different design objectives from computers for scientific or commercial use. The Ferranti Argus was among the first computers world- wide used for direct digital control. The Argus was invented at Ferranti's Wythenshawe Automation Division, Manchester, by Maurice Gribble. If credit for 'invention' must be assigned, it should go to the person or team that first had a clear vision of the principle, saw its potential, fought for its acceptance and brought it fully into satisfactory use. The Ferranti Argus computer was built by an automation group, not a computer division.

  • Plane Marvellous Weekend Ahead!
    8 October 2019 Plane marvellous weekend ahead! Date: 19-20 October 2019 Time: 10.00am-4.00pm Cost: £13.50 per person (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult) The Royal Air Force Museum Cosford will be opening the doors to thirteen aircraft during a two day Open Cockpits Weekend on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October. Aviation fans and families with budding young pilots can enjoy a closer look inside some of the unique and historic aircraft from the Museum’s collection, including one of the RAF’s iconic V-Bombers. Ticket holders will be given up to six hours to explore everything from British, German and Japanese Second World War fighter aircraft, to the pioneering research and development aircraft, many of which are sole examples. The popular Vickers Valiant B1, one third of Britain’s strategic nuclear strike force during the 50s and 60s, known as V Force, is guaranteed to be one of the weekend highlights. The Valiant was the first of Bomber Command’s V class aircraft and established Britain’s air-borne nuclear deterrent force before pioneering operational in-flight refuelling in the Royal Air Force. Not only was it the first V-Bomber to enter service, it was also the first to drop an operational British nuclear weapon over Christmas Island in 1957. The Valiant is displayed alongside the Handley Page Victor H2 and Avro Vulcan B2 in the Museum’s National Cold War Exhibition, the only place in the world where you can view all three aircraft together. Also in the event line-up is the Bristol 188, often a talking point for the Museum’s younger visitors, curious by its unusual design.
