Integrated Rack Concept Study for V/STOL Type Aircraft.
Abstract
Six different rack concepts were investigated for determining the most optimum configuration of packaging the avionic equipment on A and B type V/STOL aircraft. The two basic approaches of cooling the rack considered were air impingement and conduction cooled. As a baseline, two module configurations were used; an Improved Standard Electronic Module-2A, and Hollow Core Design with an ISEM-2A form factor. The modules, utilizing chip carrier semiconductor devices, were assumed to dissipate 5 to 10 watts. The rack power system makes use of Solid State Electric Logic (SOSTEL) power management elements. A parametric thermal analysis with junction temperatures from 60 to 125 C was performed. Each of the following disciplines, Mechanical, EMI, ECS, Reliability, Maintainability and Life Cycle Costs were also considered in the design of the racks. A Sensitivity Evaluation Program was used to select the most viable approaches. (Author)
