Analysis of Models Applicable to USAN* Eduardo Munhoz Svartman Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Anderson Matos Teixeira Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil The creation of the Union of South American Nations (USAN) aroused expectations about joint development and production of military aircraft in South America. However, political divergences, technological asymmetries and budgetary problems made projects canceled. Faced with the impasse, this article approaches features of two military aircraft development experiences and their links with the regionalization processes to extract elements that help to account for the problems faced by USAN. The processes of adoption of the F-104 and the Tornado in the 1950s and 1970s by countries that later joined the European Union are analyzed in a comparative perspective. The two projects are compared about the political and diplomatic implications (mutual trust, military capabilities and regionalization) and the economic implications (scale of production, value chains and industrial parks).

    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.

  • Case Study BAE Systems Eurofighter Typhoon
    Executive Summary Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft. A highly agile aircraft, it is capable of ground-attack as well as air defence. With 620 aircraft on order, it is also the largest and most complex European military aviation project currently running. A collaboration between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, it is designed to meet air force requirements well into the 21st Century. Advanced electronics and state of the art onboard computers are critical to the Typhoon’s high performance and agility. These systems need to be safe, reliable and easily maintained over the estimated 25 year lifecycle of the aircraft. The Ada programming language was therefore the natural choice for Typhoon’s onboard computers. It provides a high-integrity, high-quality development environment with a well defined structure that is designed to produce highly reliable and maintainable real-time software. Typhoon is currently the largest European Ada project with over 500 developers working in the language. Tranche 1 of the project saw 1.5 million lines of code being created. BAE Systems is a key member of the Eurofighter consortium, responsible for a number of areas including the aircraft’s cockpit. As part of latest phase of the project (named “Tranche 2”) it needed a solution for host Ada compilation in the development of software for the Typhoon’s mission computers, as well as for desktop testing. BAE Systems selected GNAT Pro from AdaCore in 2002 for this mission-critical and safety-critical area of the project. AdaCore has been closely involved with the Ada language since its inception and was able to provide a combination of multi-language technology and world-leading support to BAE Systems.

Since the early 50’s of the last century it was very much involved in exercises and training with the United States Air Force following the Agreements that Spain signed with the United States in 1953. That is why when Spain joined NATO in 1982 the Spanish Air Force was already somewhat familiar with NATO doctrine and procedures. In the following years, cooperation with NATO was increased dramatically through exercises and, when necessary, in operations. The Spanish Air Force is now ready and well prepared to contribute to the common defence of NATO nations and to participate in NATO led operations whenever the Spanish government decides to do so.

  • HAMLET's MILL.Pdf
    Hamlet's Mill An essay on myth and the frame of time GIORGIO de SANTILLANA Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science M.l.T. and HERTHA von DECHEND apl. Professor fur Geschichte der Naturivissenschaften ]. W. Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt Preface ASthe senior, if least deserving, of the authors, I shall open the narrative. Over many years I have searched for the point where myth and science join. It was clear to me for a long time that the origins of science had their deep roots in a particular myth, that of invariance. The Greeks, as early as the 7th century B.C., spoke of the quest of their first sages as the Problem of the One and the Many, sometimes describing the wild fecundity of nature as the way in which the Many could be deduced from the One, sometimes seeing the Many as unsubstantial variations being played on the One. The oracular sayings of Heraclitus the Obscure do nothing but illustrate with shimmering paradoxes the illusory quality of "things" in flux as they were wrung from the central intuition of unity. Before him Anaximander had announced, also oracularly, that the cause of things being born and perishing is their mutual injustice to each other in the order of time, "as is meet," he said, for they are bound to atone forever for their mutual injustice. This was enough to make of Anaximander the acknowledged father of physical science, for the accent is on the real "Many." But it was true science after a fashion. Soon after, Pythagoras taught, no less oracularly, that "things are numbers." Thus mathematics was born.

  • Induction of French Rafale Aircrafts in IAF
    Induction of French Rafale Aircrafts in IAF drishtiias.com/printpdf/induction-of-french-rafale-aircrafts-in-iaf Why in News Recently, Indian Air Force (IAF) has received its first batch (5 out of 36) of French Rafale aviation combat aircraft at Ambala Air base (Haryana). The Rafales are India's first major acquisition of fighter planes in 23 years after the Sukhoi jets were imported from Russia. All the 36 jets will be delivered to India by the end of 2021. 1/6 Rafales Introduced in 2001, the Rafale is a French twin-engine and multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation being produced for both the French Air Force and for carrier-based operations in the French Navy. India has inked a Rs 59,000-crore deal in 2016 to procure 36 Rafale jets from French aerospace major Dassault Aviation after a nearly seven-year exercise to procure 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) for the Indian Air Force did not fructify. The MMRCA deal was stalled due to disagreements over production in India. In comparison to the earlier deal i.e. MMRCA, Rafale has much technological advancement, lower life cycle cost and specifications according to the warfare needs of India. Specification 2/6 Air Supremacy: Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Rafale is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction (act of disrupting), aerial reconnaissance (observation to locate an enemy), ground support, in-depth strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions. Wide Range of Weapons: Meteor missile, Scalp cruise missile and MICA weapons system will be the mainstay of the weapons package of the Rafale jets.
