ABSTRACT This report addresses the author’s Group Design Project (GDP) and Individual Research Project (IRP). The IRP is discussed primarily herein, presenting the actuation technology for the Flight Control System (FCS) on civil aircraft. Actuation technology is one of the key technologies for next generation More Electric Aircraft (MEA) and All Electric Aircraft (AEA); it is also an important input for the preliminary design of the Flying Crane, the aircraft designed in the author’s GDP. Information regarding actuation technologies is investigated firstly. After initial comparison and engineering consideration, Electrohydrostatic Actuation (EHA) and variable area actuation are selected for further research. The tail unit of the Flying Crane is selected as the case study flight control surfaces and is analysed for the requirements. Based on these requirements, an EHA system and a variable area actuation system powered by localised hydraulic systems are designed and sized in terms of power, mass and Thermal Management System (TMS), and thereafter the reliability of each system is estimated and the safety is analysed.

  • 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.

Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE East Meadow, March 19, 2018 Lufthansa begins biometric boarding at LAX, paving the way for nationwide usage at airports − Biometric technologies simplify, de-stress and significantly speed up airplane boarding − During the initial trial, Lufthansa boarded an A380 in about 20 minutes − Following Lufthansa’s successful LAX trial, the Airline will introduce biometrics boarding at other U.S. airports nationwide Lufthansa Group, as part of its ongoing efforts to digitalize the travel world, has launched hassle- free, one-step biometric boarding utilizing facial recognition. This innovative pilot, enabled through a collaboration with Lufthansa Group’s longstanding IT partner, Amadeus, as well as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Los Angeles World Airports Authority (LAWA), and Vision Box, is now available at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). During initial trials, Lufthansa received very positive feedback from guests and boarded approximately 350 passengers onto an A380 in about 20 minutes. Here is how it works: • Self-boarding gates with sophisticated facial recognition cameras capture passengers’ facial images as they approach the device • This image is securely sent to the CBP database for real-time matching and verification • After a successful, instantaneous match within a few seconds, the system recognizes the passenger as “boarded” • The passenger no longer needs to show a boarding pass or passport at the gate “The increasing need for airlines, airports and authorities to offer faster and more convenient processes for guests to move through the airport creates a unique opportunity for the use of biometrics,” said Bjoern Becker, Senior Director, Product Management Ground and Digital Services for Lufthansa.

  • AP3456 the Central Flying School (CFS) Manual of Flying: Volume 4 Aircraft Systems
    AP3456 – 4-1- Hydraulic Systems CHAPTER 1 - HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS Introduction 1. Hydraulic power has unique characteristics which influence its selection to power aircraft systems instead of electrics and pneumatics, the other available secondary power systems. The advantages of hydraulic power are that: a. It is capable of transmitting very high forces. b. It has rapid and precise response to input signals. c. It has good power to weight ratio. d. It is simple and reliable. e. It is not affected by electro-magnetic interference. Although it is less versatile than present generation electric/electronic systems, hydraulic power is the normal secondary power source used in aircraft for operation of those aircraft systems which require large power inputs and precise and rapid movement. These include flying controls, flaps, retractable undercarriages and wheel brakes. Principles 2. Basic Power Transmission. A simple practical application of hydraulic power is shown in Fig 1 which depicts a closed system typical of that used to operate light aircraft wheel brakes. When the force on the master cylinder piston is increased slightly by light operation of the brake pedals, the slave piston will extend until the brake shoe contacts the brake drum. This restriction will prevent further movement of the slave and the master cylinder. However, any increase in force on the master cylinder will increase pressure in the fluid, and it will therefore increase the braking force acting on the shoes. When braking is complete, removal of the load from the master cylinder will reduce hydraulic pressure, and the brake shoe will retract under spring tension.
