2022 Quiz #2 Questions and Solutions Question 1 List 4 benefits of fly by wire technology to Civil aircrafts - Improvement of natural aircraft dynamics, behaviour, that is: stability, handling qualities, turbulence suppression and passenger comfort - Provision of flight envelope protection that allows full pilot commands, if necessary, without the danger of either leaving the safe flight envelope or overstressing the aircraft - Increase in safety by reduction of pilot workload in routine control tasks, which allows the pilot to concentrate on higher level of flight guidance tasks - Reduction of airline’s crew training costs by offering commonality within an aircraft’s family (cross crew qualifications) Question 2 What is the operation principle of electromechanical actuators (EMAs) in an aircraft flight control system? Electromechanical Actuators (EMAs) replaces the electrical signaling and power actuation of the electrohydraulic actuator with an electric motor and gearbox assembly. Question 3 Gearbox: Boosts torque while reducing the speed of the motor
Feedback Link: Feeds back the ram position to the summing link to Implement feedback control of the ram position. Question 4 Draw a block diagram of a pitch rate damper system for stability augmentation Question 5 What are the heat sources that give rise to cooling problem of an aircraft? Hot air can be bled from the engines. Heat sources include: - Kinetic Heating (ram and recovery temperature) - Solar Heating - Avionics Heat Loads - Airframe System Heat Loads Question 6 What are the heat sinks used for airborne aircraft cooling? Heat sinks easily available are the outside air and the internal fuel. Question 7 State 4 methods by which avionics equipment can be cooled using conditioning air 1) Cooling by convected air blown over the outside walls of the equipment boxes (external air wash)
a. This is adequate for equipment with low heat loads but becomes very inefficient as heat load increases, requiring a lot more cooling air than the other methods 2) Air blown through the boxes and over the printed circuit (directly force air) 3) Air blown through a cold wall heat exchanger inside the box (Indirect forced air) a. Often the most efficient way of cooling is this one, indirect forced air 4) Fans installed in the box to draw a supply of cooling air from the box surroundings. Question 8 Given the bootstrap system shown below: What is the function of the compressor? The compressor is used to increase the air pressure with a corresponding increase in temperature. What is the function of the turbine? The turbine of the cold air system drives the compressor What is the power source that drives the system? Bleed air flow.
