Q

What instruments does atmospheric pressure actuate?

A

Altimeter, air speed indicator, vertical speed indicator, & manifold pressure gauge.

17
Q

This flight control system replaces the physical connection between pilot controls and the flight control surfaces with an electrical interface. What is it?

A

Fly-by-Wire
Fiber optic Cables

18
Q

What is IFCS?

A

Intelligence Flight Control System - The goal of this project is to develop an adaptive neural network-based flight control system. Applied directly to flight control system feedback errors, IFCS provides adjustments to improve aircraft performance in normal flight, as well as with system failures.

19
Q

What control systems consist of the primary system?

A

The ailerons, elevator (or stabilator), and rudder constitute the primary control system

20
Q

What controls are part of the secondary control system?

A

Wing flaps, leading edge devices, spoilers, and trim systems constitute the secondary control system and improve the performance characteristics.

21
Q

The amount of rudder control required is greatest at what points?

A

Low airspeeds, high AOA, and large aileron deflections.

22
Q

What are the four aileron systems engineered to reduce the effect of adverse yaw?

A

Differential ailerons
Frise-type ailerons
Coupled ailerons & rudder
Flaperons
