Advanced Aircraft Electrical System (AAES). Definition and Prototype Design for F-14 Aircraft. Volume 1. Technical.
Abstract
This report describes the application of advanced electrical power generation and distribution concepts to the F-14A aircraft. The study is designed to provide a baseline from which the concepts of the Advanced Aircraft Electrical Systems (AAES) can be developed and tested in the laboratory and on a prototype aircraft. The Navy F-14A aircraft was used as the vehicle to which the study concept was applied, and from which the study data base was developed. Two advanced power generation concepts, Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF), and Constant Frequency Generator-DC Link (CFG-DC) were investigated, The Solid State Electric Logic (SOSTEL) system was used to provide power distribution. This system employs data bus/remote terminal concepts, solid state transducers, and solid state power controllers to provide the control, protection and power interlocks presently implemented on the aircraft by electromechanical devices (switches, circuit breakers and relays). This preliminary design study identifies the system, hardware/software, operational, installation, thermal, reliability, and flight test requirements for the application of AAES to a prototype aircraft.
