Hydromagnetic Technology of Aircraft Control Devices,
Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities of utilizing the hydromagnetic technique for controlling flying objects. Attention was given to the fact that velocities and accelerations achieved by modern aircraft propulsion systems, extreme temperature and pressure parameters and strong radiation form a group of conditions which cannot presently be countered by automation equipment represented by classical electric, pneumatic or also hydraulic systems. The development of the newest control technology is based on a working agent in the form of a liquid metal of low melting point. The article next gives a classification of hydrodynamic boosters; the physical properties of working agents are discussed and certain designs of hydromagnetic installations are described. (Author)
