  • Pitot-Static System Blockage Effects on Airspeed Indicator
    The Dramatic Effects of Pitot-Static System Blockages and Failures by Luiz Roberto Monteiro de Oliveira . Table of Contents I ‐ Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….1 II ‐ Pitot‐Static Instruments…………………………………………………………………………………………..3 III ‐ Blockage Scenarios – Description……………………………..…………………………………….…..…11 IV ‐ Examples of the Blockage Scenarios…………………..……………………………………………….…15 V ‐ Disclaimer………………………………………………………………………………………………………………50 VI ‐ References…………………………………………………………………………………………….…..……..……51 Please also review and understand the disclaimer found at the end of the article before applying the information contained herein. I - Introduction This article takes a comprehensive look into Pitot-static system blockages and failures. These typically affect the airspeed indicator (ASI), vertical speed indicator (VSI) and altimeter. They can also affect the autopilot auto-throttle and other equipment that relies on airspeed and altitude information. There have been several commercial flights, more recently Air France's flight 447, whose crash could have been due, in part, to Pitot-static system issues and pilot reaction. It is plausible that the pilot at the controls could have become confused with the erroneous instrument readings of the airspeed and have unknowingly flown the aircraft out of control resulting in the crash. The goal of this article is to help remove or reduce, through knowledge, the likelihood of at least this one link in the chain of problems that can lead to accidents.

EUGENE AUSTIN} NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama 35812-1000, USA (Received 25 April 1997) AbstractÐIndustry/NASA reusable launch vehicle (RLV) technology program eorts are underway to design, test, and develop technologies and concepts for viable commercial launch systems that also satisfy national needs at acceptable recurring costs. Signi®cant progress has been made in understanding the technical challenges of fully reusable launch systems and the accompanying management and oper- ational approaches for achieving a low-cost program. This paper reviews the current status of the RLV technology program including the DC-XA, X-33 and X-34 ¯ight systems and associated technology programs. It addresses the speci®c technologies being tested that address the technical and operability challenges of reusable launch systems including reusable cryogenic propellant tanks, composite structures, thermal protection systems, improved propul- sion, and subsystem operability enhancements. The recently concluded DC-XA test program demon- strated some of these technologies in ground and ¯ight tests. Contracts were awarded recently for both the X-33 and X-34 ¯ight demonstrator systems. The Orbital Sciences Corporation X-34 ¯ight test ve- hicle will demonstrate an air-launched reusable vehicle capable of ¯ight to speeds of Mach 8.

Guerrero and Lloyd D Corliss, Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California October 1991 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center Moffett Field, Califorrlia94035 -1000 SUMMARY A simulation model was developed for piloted evaluations of a representative tilt-wing V/STOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft. Using this model an initial tilt-wing simulation study was conducted in 1990 on the Ames Vertical Motion Simulator In the past, all tilt-wing aircraft have required a horizontal tail rotor or reaction jets to provide pitch control in hover and low speeds. To alleviate this need, devices such as monocyclic propellers and a geared flap have been proposed for providing control at low speed. The geared flap is the sub- ject of this study and it is compared to the conventional flap used in previous tilt-wing aircraft. Objectives of the study were to simulate a tilt-wing V/STOL aircraft, to evaluate and compare the control effectiveness and handling qualities of both a conventional (programmed flap) and the geared flap control configurations, and to determine the feasibility of eliminating the horizontal tail rotor or reaction jets of prior designs through the use of the geared flap control configuration.

  • PROPULSION SYSTEM/FLIGHT CONTROL INTEGRATION for SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT Paul J
    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.
