This AC applies to electrical and electronic engine control (EEC) systems used on aircraft engines certificated under 14 CFR part 33 and intended for use in aircraft certificated under parts 23, 25, 27, and 29. This document also applies to any electrical or electronic systems that control an engine function, for example overspeed or temperature limiting systems. In some cases, controls for functions not normally covered under part 33 or required for engine control are integrated into the EEC (for example, propeller controls regulated under part 35). In these cases, this document also applies to those functions integrated into the EEC system, but only to the extent that those functions affect part 33 requirements. Although sections of this AC provide guidance for compliance with §33.28 for all EECs, the FAA is developing specific guidance for reciprocating engine controls.

  • Integrating Air Systems in Aircraft Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Ali Tfaily Department of Mechanical Engineering Mcgil
    Integrating Air Systems in Aircraft Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Ali Tfaily Department of Mechanical Engineering McGill University, Montreal August 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Engineering ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Michael Kokkolaras, for his support and guidance throughout my time as his student. I am honored to have worked along a supervisor that always helped me in my work and even my personal life. I am grateful to members of Bombardier’s Advanced Product Development department for their insights on aircraft design and optimization. Special acknowledgment is given to the Thermodynamics department at Bombardier Product Development Engineering, namely Sebastien Beaulac, Hongzhi Wang, Jean-Francois Reis, and Emmanuel Germaine, who provided expertise that greatly assisted this research. I would also like to thank Jean Brousseau for sharing his knowledge on air systems design. I am very grateful to John Ferneley, Susan Liscouët-Hanke, Pat Piperni, and Fassi Kafyeke who were supportive of my career goals and provided me the means to pursue these goals. Finally, I am grateful to my friends and family for their constant support and encouragement throughout the ups and downs of my studies. ABSTRACT The strong interactions between aircraft and air systems necessitate the integration of the latter to multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) considerations of the former. This research presents such a methodology considering environmental control and ice protection systems. These systems consume pressurized bleed air from the aircraft’s engines to perform their respective functions. We first describe the models used to predict the behavior of these systems and then propose different approaches to their integration into an existing aircraft MDO environment.

  • 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.

    Fly-by-wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11-8-20 下午5:33 Fly-by-wire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces the Fly-by-wire conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires (hence the fly-by-wire term), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response. The fly-by-wire system also allows automatic signals sent by the aircraft's computers to perform functions without the pilot's input, as in systems that automatically help stabilize the aircraft.[1] Contents Green colored flight control wiring of a test aircraft 1 Development 1.1 Basic operation 1.1.1 Command 1.1.2 Automatic Stability Systems 1.2 Safety and redundancy 1.3 Weight saving 1.4 History 2 Analog systems 3 Digital systems 3.1 Applications 3.2 Legislation 3.3 Redundancy 3.4 Airbus/Boeing 4 Engine digital control 5 Further developments 5.1 Fly-by-optics 5.2 Power-by-wire 5.3 Fly-by-wireless 5.4 Intelligent Flight Control System 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Development http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire Page 1 of 9 Fly-by-wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11-8-20 下午5:33 Mechanical and hydro-mechanical flight control systems are relatively heavy and require careful routing of flight control cables through the aircraft by systems of pulleys, cranks, tension cables and hydraulic pipes.

Prof. Nicholas Bertozzi, Daniel Webster College Nick Bertozzi is a Professor of Engineering at Daniel Webster College (DWC) and Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS). His major interest over the past 18 years has been the concurrent engineering design process, an interest that was fanned into flame by attending an NSF faculty development workshop in 1996 led by Ron Barr and Davor Juricic. Nick has a particular interest in help- ing engineering students develop good communications skills and has made this a SECS priority. Over the past ten years he and other engineering and humanities faculty colleagues have mentored a number of undergraduate student teams who have co-authored and presented papers and posters at Engineering Design Graphics Division (EDGD) and other ASEE, CDIO (www.cdio.org), and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) meetings as well.

  • ICE PROTECTION Incomplete
    ICE PROTECTION GENERAL The Ice and Rain Protection Systems allow the aircraft to operate in icing conditions or heavy rain. Aircraft Ice Protection is provided by heating in critical areas using either: Hot Air from the Pneumatic System o Wing Leading Edges o Stabilizer Leading Edges o Engine Air Inlets Electrical power o Windshields o Probe Heat . Pitot Tubes . Pitot Static Tube . AOA Sensors . TAT Probes o Static Ports . ADC . Pressurization o Service Nipples . Lavatory Water Drain . Potable Water Rain removal from the Windshields is provided by two fully independent Wiper Systems. LEADING EDGE THERMAL ANTI ICE SYSTEM Ice protection for the wing and horizontal stabilizer leading edges and the engine air inlet lips is ensured by heating these surfaces. Hot air supplied by the Pneumatic System is ducted through perforated tubes, called Piccolo tubes. Each Piccolo tube is routed along the surface, so that hot air jets flowing through the perforations heat the surface. Dedicated slots are provided for exhausting the hot air after the surface has been heated. Each subsystem has a pressure regulating/shutoff valve (PRSOV) type of Anti-icing valve. An airflow restrictor limits the airflow rate supplied by the Pneumatic System. The systems are regulated for proper pressure and airflow rate. Differential pressure switches and low pressure switches monitor for leakage and low pressures. Each Wing's Anti Ice System is supplied by its respective side of the Pneumatic System. The Stabilizer Anti Ice System is supplied by the LEFT side of the Pneumatic System. The APU cannot provide sufficient hot air for Pneumatic Anti Ice functions.
