What is definition of fail-safe? (1) In any system or subsystem, the failure of any single

Page 6 of 31

M 11 question bank

should not prevent continued safe flight and landing, or significantly reduce the capability
of the airplane or the ability of the crew to cope with the resulting failure conditions.
(2) Subsequent failures during the same flight, whether detected or latent, and combinations
thereof, should also be assumed, unless their joint probability with the first failure is shown
to be extremely improbable.
b. The fail-safe design concept uses the following design principles or techniques in order to
ensure a safe design. The use of only one of these techniques is seldom adequate. A
combination of two or more is usually needed to provide a fail-safe design; i.e., to ensure
that major failure conditions are improbable and that catastrophic failure conditions are
extremely improbable.

Flux Valves
A Flux Valve is a magnetic sensory device that electrically transmits information to
an aircraft's compass system regarding its orientation relative to Earths magnetic
field. This information, in the form of three separate electrical signals tied to a
common return, is used to generate a visual indication to the flight crew regarding
the heading of the aircraft relative to magnetic north.
Our flux valves are used on a number of commercial and military aircraft, such as
the Embraer 135 / 145 and the Boeing F18 E/F.
We have recently obtained TSO certification on a new design.

running, the shuttle slides over and isolates the compressor. The pneumatic systems
may then be operated from the ground source. Also used to provide an emergency

a. power source to the system
b. source of pressure attached to the system
c. system for more one pressure source
APU stop , prevent pneumatic air return?
a. check valve
b. isolation valve
Air Isolation Valve
The sir isolation valve serves two purposes. First, it is used to cross start engines. After
starting one engine on the auxiliary power unit (APU) or ground air, with the APU switch in
the off position, the engine crank switch will automatically open the air isolation valve
when starting the other engine. Bleed air from the engine running is routed through the air
isolation valve to the engine starter control valve (fig. 3-1) of the engine to be started. As
the engine accelerates to a self-sustaining speed, the switch automatically returns to the off
position. The air isolation valve is then closed by spring pressure. The air isolation valve
can also be used to route APU air to augment the bleed-air supplv to the air-conditioning
system at times when engine output is low. This could be when waiting to launch, with
engines at idle power and air temperatures high and humid.

Which pump is used for pneumatic boost? Vane type pumpdry or wet(base on
lubrication)
Wet type pump use steel vanes moving in sealed cast- iron housing and are lubricated
by engine oil metered into the inlet air port. This oil is discharged with the air and is
removed wit an oil separator before the air is either used for inflating de-icer boots or is
pumped overboard.
Dry pump is a modern instrument air system use and have carbon vanes and rotors and
require no external lubrication. These pumps may be used to drive the instruments by
producing a vacuum and pulling air through them or by using the output of the pump to
force the air through the instrument.

If the anti-ice valve over pressure?
Pressure regulator valve normally closed, and is electrically controlled and
pneumatically actuated. The pressure regulator valve has two functions; to regulate
deice air pressure when energized and to shut off deice air when de-energized. The
pressure regulator valve functions on differential pressure to maintain an outlet duct
pressure of 26 2 psi.
Bleed-Air Solenoid Valve
Eight cyclic valves are used in the deice system. Two cyclic valves are located in each
outboard wing, one in each inboard wing, and one in each horizontal stabilizer. The cyclic
valve is normally spring-loaded closed, electrically controlled, and pneumatically actuated.
The cyclic valve controls the cyclic distribution of bleed air to the appropriate segment of
the deice system piccolo tubes. The cyclic valve is pneumatically controlled by a bleed-air
solenoid valve (fig. 1-13). When the solenoid is not energized, the spring keeps the cyclic
valve closed, and inlet pressure is vented to ambient and to the closing side of the valve
(chamber A). When the solenoid is energized, the inlet pressure is blocked, and when it
builds to 16 psi, it overcomes the spring and opens the cyclic valve.

2.3.2 Box Beam or Distributed Flange Layout
This method is more suitable for aircraft wings with medium to high load intensities
and differs from the mass boom concept in that the upper and lower skins also
contribute to the spanwise bending resistance. Another difference is that the concept
incorporates spanwise stringers (usually z section) to support the highly-stressed skin
panel area. The resultant use of a large number of end-load carrying members improves
the overall structural damage tolerance.
Design difficulties include:
Interactions between the ribs and stringers so that each rib either has to pass below the
stringers or the load path must be broken.
Many joints are present, leading to high structural weight, assembly times,
complexity, costs & stress concentration areas.The concept described above is
commonly known as a built-up construction method. Analter native is to use a socalled integral construction method. This was initially developed for
metal wings, to overcome the inherent drawbacks of separately assembled skin-stringer
built-up construction and is very popular nowadays. The concept is simple in that the
skin-stringer panels are manufactured singly from large billets of metal. Advantages of
the integral construction method over the traditional built-up method include:
Simpler construction & assembly.
Reduced sealing/jointing problems.
Reduced overall assembly time/costs.
Improved possibility to use optimised panel tapering.
Disadvantages include:
Reduced damage tolerance so that planks are used.
Difficult to use on large aircraft panels.
Figure 2.7 Integrally-stiffened panel examples
The most efficient use of composites is in an integrally-machined (i.e. moulded)
configuration for the wing structure. The skins & webs are then made up with series of
laminations having fibre directions oriented to match the applied loading conditions.
Indeed, this is a major advantage associated with the use of composites and directly
leads to significant potential for structural mass reductions. There are problems,
however, especially regarding increased costs and manufacturing difficulties. In
particular, the manufacture of moulded components demands careful planning &
control procedures. The use of integrally-machined composite wing structures is
becoming more and more common nowadays due to significant weight reduction
