Introduction to Fly-by-Wire Flight Control Systems
Author: David KernPublisher: Kern Aerospace, LLC
ISBN:
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The #1 guide to understanding the "why and how" of fly-by-wire flight control systems. This book is an approachable and easily understandable must-read for aviation professionals! Why don't new aircraft designs allow the pilots a mechanical control connection? This book explains how fly-by-wire fixes the top 5 problems with mechanical controls for high performance aircraft. Rather than describe a particular aircraft’s design with confusing acronyms, readers will get a "behind the scenes" understanding for the critical concepts that apply to any modern aircraft. Because these design principles are easily described and understood, readers of this book will be armed with knowledge as they approach their flight manual procedures. Including: - Problems with mechanical flight controls - Advantages of fly-by-wire - How and why can fly-by-wire control systems fail? - Why are four computers better than one or two? - Explanations of the control laws used by business jets, fighters, and airliners - What sensors are needed, and how the system maintains control when sensors are lost - Design considerations for risk mitigation in case of component failures Buy this book to read on your next layover!
Fly by Wire
Author: William LangewieschePublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 142996331X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
On January 15, 2009, a US Airways Airbus A320 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport in New York when a flock of Canada geese collided with it, destroying both of its engines. Over the next three minutes, the plane's pilot, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, managed to glide it to a safe landing in the Hudson River. It was an instant media sensation, the "Miracle on the Hudson," and Captain Sully was the hero. But how much of the success of this dramatic landing can actually be credited to the genius of the pilot? To what extent is the "miracle" on the Hudson the result of extraordinary—but not widely known, and in some cases quite controversial—advances in aviation and computer technology over the past twenty years? In Fly by Wire, one of America's greatest journalists takes us on a strange and unexpected journey into the fascinating world of advanced aviation. From the testing laboratories where engineers struggle to build a jet engine that can systematically resist bird attacks, through the creation of the A320 in France, to the political and social forces that have sought to minimize the impact of the revolutionary fly-by-wire technology, William Langewiesche assembles the untold stories necessary to truly understand the "miracle" on the Hudson, and makes us question our assumptions about human beings in modern aviation.

In-Flight Simulators and Fly-by-Wire/Light Demonstrators
Author: Peter G. HamelPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319539973
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
This book offers the first complete account of more than sixty years of international research on In-Flight Simulation and related development of electronic and electro-optic flight control system technologies (“Fly-by-Wire” and “Fly-by-Light”). They have provided a versatile and experimental procedure that is of particular importance for verification, optimization, and evaluation of flying qualities and flight safety of manned or unmanned aircraft systems. Extensive coverage is given in the book to both fundamental information related to flight testing and state-of-the-art advances in the design and implementation of electronic and electro-optic flight control systems, which have made In-Flight Simulation possible. Written by experts, the respective chapters clearly show the interdependence between various aeronautical disciplines and in-flight simulation methods. Taken together, they form a truly multidisciplinary book that addresses the needs of not just flight test engi neers, but also other aeronautical scientists, engineers and project managers and historians as well. Students with a general interest in aeronautics as well as researchers in countries with growing aeronautical ambitions will also find the book useful. The omission of mathematical equations and in-depth theoretical discussions in favor of fresh discussions on innovative experiments, together with the inclusion of anecdotes and fascinating photos, make this book not only an enjoyable read, but also an important incentive to future research. The book, translated from the German by Ravindra Jategaonkar, is an extended and revised English edition of the book Fliegende Simulatoren und Technologieträger , edited by Peter Hamel and published by Appelhans in 2014.

Adaptive Enterprise
Author: Stephan H. HaeckelPublisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 9781422171783
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Adaptive Enterprise outlines the new sense-and-respond business model that helps companies anticipate, adapt, and respond to continually changing customer needs. Author Stephan Haeckel shows how large, complex organizations can adapt in a systematic way to the unpredictable demands of rapid, relentless change--if the organization is designed and managed as an adaptive system. In fact, the only kind of strategy that makes sense in the face of change is a strategy to become adaptive. Haeckel maps out a step-by-step plan that firms can use to transform themselves into a new type of organization, one where change is not a problem to be solved but rather a source of energy, growth, and value. Adaptive Enterprise is both a new way of thinking about business and a prescription for leadership of post-industrial organizations. It is, as Adrian Slywotsky says in his foreword, "a book that will influence the influencers of business thought."
