Control-By-Wire Modular Actuator Tests (AFCAS).
Abstract
This report presents the results of tests conducted on an engineering model of a primary flight control hydraulic surface actuator that is controlled directly by electrical inputs. The actuator is modular configured and utilizes an operating pressure of 8000 psi. Electrical inputs are applied to force motor, direct-driven, single stage flow control valves. A laboratory type electronic interface unit containing redundancy features powered the force motors. Static and dynamic tests were conducted on the force motors, motor/valve sub-assemblies electronic interface unit, and actuator assemblies including dual system tandem, dual system parallel, and single system configurations. The dual tandem actuator was tested under load.
