BASIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN FLUID POWER CONTROL FOR THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE

Abstract

The development of high performance hydraulic and pneumatic control equipment for advanced systems is discussed. Increased emphasis on high pressure pneumatic components and systems reflects the approach to an ultimate objective of employing hot-gas power to operate such systems. Control valves, relays, servomotors, gas bearings, fluid power and signal transmission, hot-gas contamination, hot-gas gyros, and techniques of control are treated. (Author)
