EVALUATION TESTS ON BOULTON-PAUL VC-10 AILERON INTEGRATED FLIGHT CONTROL ACTUATOR,

Abstract

The results are presented of tests conducted on a Boulton Paul Aircraft integrated electro-hydraulic actuator of the type used on the British Aircraft Corporation VC-10 commercial airplane flight control surfaces. The tests include frequency response with manual and autopilot inputs, response to step input, steady state operating temperatures, and a number of function tests. The results obtained are compared with those obtained by Boulton Paul on the same actuator, and with allowable deviation limits specified in the overhaul manual. (Author)
