Study Notes
Flight Control Systems
- An aeroplane has 6 degrees of freedom: Lateral Axis (y), Pitch (Theta, Q), Roll (Phi, F), Yaw (Psi, Y), Long Axis (x), and Vertical Axis (z)
- Forces and moments: change of flight attitude caused by the resulting moments around the respective axis → moment = force x lever
- Change of attitude: Pitch → rotation around the lateral axis, Roll → rotation around the longitudinal axis, Yaw → rotation around the vertical axis
- Forces are generated aerodynamically by deflection of control surfaces on the wings and the empennage
- Flight control surfaces: Rudder, Elevator, Aileron
- Unaccelerated level flight: L = LTHS (Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer), W = L + LTHS
- Pitch (Up): deflection of elevator (Up → Downforce)
- Roll (to the Right): deflection of aileron (Right-hand turn)
- Yaw (to the Right): deflection of rudder (to the right)
- Secondary flight controls: Spoiler, Airbrakes, Horizontal Stabilizer, Flaps
A320 System Architecture
- Hydraulic system users: GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW
- Wing: Computer number
- A320 Fly-by-wire: Sidestick, Electrical transmission and data processing, Hydraulic/electrical movement of the control surfaces
- Rudder pedals: controlled by the rudder pedals
Bleed Air Systems
- A bleed air system conducts medium to high-pressure air from the compressor stage of the engine(s) and APU to various locations within the aircraft
- Sources of bleed air: Engines, APU, High pressure ground air
- Users of bleed air: Environmental Control System (ECS), Wing & Engine anti-icing, Water system pressurization, Hydraulic reservoir pressurization, Engine starting
- System architecture: Network of ducts, valves, and regulators
- Control panel: virtual tour: https://ccntservice.airbus.com/apps/cockpits/a320/
- System display: BLEED page → ENG bleed air, APU bleed air
