Gripen Maritime in Brief www.gripen.com GRIPEN MARITIME IN BRIEF THE SMART FIGHTER Power, efficiency, flexibility: only one modern fighter holds them all in perfect balance. Fuelled by Saab’s thinking edge at every stage of its development, Gripen is more than a fighter: it’s a national asset that protects sovereign independence and empowers a nation towards a more secure future. That’s why we call it: The Smart Fighter. KEY DATA Length overall 15.2 m Width overall 8.6 m Max thrust 98 kN Max speed at sea level > 1400 km/h Max service altitude > 50.000 ft G-limits -3G / +9G Hardpoints 10 Gripen is at the forefront of the global fighter market. Gripen has been chosen by air forces on four continents, with increasing interest in all regions – from the Americas to Asia. AIR POWER FROM THE SEA Designed to fly from catapult- equipped carriers, Gripen Maritime is a single-seat fighter with a footprint small enough to operate from any aircraft carrier in current (or future) global commission. It has the same outstanding multi-role capabilities as Gripen E and maximum spares and weapons commonality with Gripen E and F. Which means 33 it shares their exceptional lifetime 34 system affordability, too. 32 35 At last it’s possible to arm a carrier- 31 capable navy with one of the world’s 36 leading fighters – without the high 30 sustainment and support costs 17 of its peers. 29 16 37 28 25 27 18 19 20 10 22 24 23 7 8 9 15 26 14 6 21 5 13 4 12 1 Nose pitot tube 13 Navigation light 26 Wing-tip station 2 Radome 14 27 mm Mauser gun 27 Outboard elevon 15 Canard 28 Inboard elevon 3 3 Selex ES Actively Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar 16 VHF antenna 29 APU 2 4 Infrared Search and Track (IRST) 17 Integrated fuel tank 30 Air brake 5 Wide Area Display (WAD) 18 Fuselage pylons 31 GE Aviation F414G engine 6 Head-Up Display (HUD) 19 Fuselage pylons 32 Rudder 11 7 Cockpit canopy 20 Fuselage pylons 33 VHF/UHF antenna 38 1 8 Ejection seat 21 Main landing gear 34 Fin pod 9 Fuselage pylon 22 Under-wing pylons 35 ILS antenna 1 Nose pitot tube10 Retractable air-to-air refuelling probe13 Navigation23 Under-wing light pylons 36 Fin pitot tube 26 Wing-tip station 11 Nose landing gear 24 Leading edge flap 37 Arrestor hook 2 Radome 12 Air inlet 14 27 25mm Stru guncture 38 Catapult bar 27 Outboard elevon 3 Actively Electronically Scanned Array 15 Canard 28 Inboard elevon (AESA) radar 16 VHF antenna 29 APU 4 Infrared Search and Track (IRST) 17 Integrated fuel tank 30 Air brake 5 Wide Area Display (WAD) 18 Fuselage pylons 31 Engine 6 Head-Up Display (HUD) 19 Fuselage pylons 32 Rudder 7 Cockpit canopy 20 Fuselage pylons 33 VHF/UHF antenna 8 Ejection seat 21 Main landing gear 34 Fin pod 9 Fuselage pylon 22 Under-wing pylons 35 ILS antenna 10 Retractable air-to-air refuelling probe 23 Under-wing pylons 36 Fin pitot tube 11 Nose landing gear 24 Leading edge flap 37 Arrestor hook www.gripen.com 12 Air inlet 25 Structure 38 Catapult bar Gripen Maritime fact sheet – EN – ver. 3, February 2017.

  • Actuator Saturation Analysis of a Fly-By-Wire Control System for a Delta-Canard Aircraft
    DEGREE PROJECT IN VEHICLE ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 Actuator Saturation Analysis of a Fly-By-Wire Control System for a Delta-Canard Aircraft ERIK LJUDÉN KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES Author Erik Ljudén <[email protected]> School of Engineering Sciences KTH Royal Institute of Technology Place Linköping, Sweden Saab Examiner Ulf Ringertz Stockholm KTH Royal Institute of Technology Supervisor Peter Jason Linköping Saab Abstract Actuator saturation is a well studied subject regarding control theory. However, little research exist regarding aircraft behavior during actuator saturation. This paper aims to identify flight mechanical parameters that can be useful when analyzing actuator saturation. The studied aircraft is an unstable delta-canard aircraft. By varying the aircraft’s center-of- gravity and applying a square wave input in pitch, saturated actuators have been found and investigated closer using moment coefficients as well as other flight mechanical parameters. The studied flight mechanical parameters has proven to be highly relevant when analyzing actuator saturation, and a simple connection between saturated actuators and moment coefficients has been found. One can for example look for sudden changes in the moment coefficients during saturated actuators in order to find potentially dangerous flight cases. In addition, the studied parameters can be used for robustness analysis, but needs to be further investigated. Lastly, the studied pitch square wave input shows no risk of aircraft departure with saturated elevons during flight, provided non-saturated canards, and that the free-stream velocity is high enough to be flyable. i Sammanfattning Styrdonsmättning är ett välstuderat ämne inom kontrollteorin.

  • 09 Stability and Control
    Aircraft Design Lecture 9: Stability and Control G. Dimitriadis Introduction to Aircraft Design Stability and Control H Aircraft stability deals with the ability to keep an aircraft in the air in the chosen flight attitude. H Aircraft control deals with the ability to change the flight direction and attitude of an aircraft. H Both these issues must be investigated during the preliminary design process. Introduction to Aircraft Design Design criteria? H Stability and control are not design criteria H In other words, civil aircraft are not designed specifically for stability and control H They are designed for performance. H Once a preliminary design that meets the performance criteria is created, then its stability is assessed and its control is designed. Introduction to Aircraft Design Flight Mechanics H Stability and control are collectively referred to as flight mechanics H The study of the mechanics and dynamics of flight is the means by which : – We can design an airplane to accomplish efficiently a specific task – We can make the task of the pilot easier by ensuring good handling qualities – We can avoid unwanted or unexpected phenomena that can be encountered in flight Introduction to Aircraft Design Aircraft description Flight Control Pilot System Airplane Response Task The pilot has direct control only of the Flight Control System. However, he can tailor his inputs to the FCS by observing the airplane’s response while always keeping an eye on the task at hand. Introduction to Aircraft Design Control Surfaces H Aircraft control

  • Ejection Seat Mechanism in Civil Aircraft Richard Johnson Abstract—This Paper Deals with the Ejection System That Can Be Implemented in a Civil Aircraft
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 3, Issue 10, October-2012 1 ISSN 2229-5518 Ejection Seat Mechanism in Civil Aircraft Richard Johnson Abstract—this paper deals with the ejection system that can be implemented in a civil aircraft. It is important for an aircraft to have an ejection seat in case the plane meets an accident in a battle or during test flight and the pilot has to bail out to save his or her life. The mechanism involves lifting of the pilot to a safe distance away from the aircraft and then deploying the parachute. As there is increase in air traffic, this ejection system provides additional safety measures to the life of passengers. By this method along with the pilot, the crew members and the passengers can be saved. This ejection system consists of a specially made ejector pad, track system and parachute. The ejection system is governed by a timing sensor which ensures that the movement of the passenger seat take place in equal interval of time to avoid collision between two consecutive seats.
