DOWTY ROTOL has recent experience in the design, manufacture and testing of two different electronically controlled wing trailing edge flap high lift actuation systems — one for the British Aerospace B.Ae.146 aircraft and the other for the Construcciones Aeronatuicas/Nurtania CN.235 aircraft. This paper discusses the application of electronics to control and monitor these systems. The resulting equipment is described and the two systems are compared for complexity, type of electronic architecture and reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
