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.
