THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF A FLIGHT SIMULATION TEST FACILITY.

Author(s) : DOYLE G. N.

Summary

AN AIRCRAFT ON THE GROUND IN FULL SUNLIGHT MAY EXPERIENCE A SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF 333 K (60 DEG C), TO BE FOLLOWED AFTER TAKEOFF AND CLIMB TO ALTITUDE BY A TEMPERATURE OF 213 K (-60 DEG C). THE WINDSCREEN HAVING A POOR THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, IS EXPOSED TO THERMAL STRESS IN ADDITION TO THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL RESULTING FROM CABIN PRESSURISATION. TO ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH WINDSCREENS, LUCAS AEROSPACE DECIDED TO INSTALL A TEST FACILITY WHICH WOULD SIMULATE ARDUOUS CYCLE OF STRESS TO BE EXPECTED, AND WOULD BE CAPABLE OF REPEATING THIS OVER MANY THOUSANDS OF CYCLES. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WERE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW RAMP PROFILES OVER THE FULL OPERATING RANGE WITH A RATE OF VARIATION UP TO 10 K PER MINUTE.
