Design, Fabrication, and Performance Testing of Integral Armored Servo Actuators

Abstract

A program was conducted to demonstrate and establish the applicability of using dual property steel armore (DPSA) integrally in complex Army aircraft critical components, thus eliminating or minimizing the requirement for adding armor plate (shielding) to protect these components from small-arms ballistic impacts. A CH-54B primary flight control hydraulic servo actuator was selected as the critical component and was redesigned using DPSA as the cylinder material. Three experimental units were fabricated and tested.
