Design of Digital Air Data Computers.
Abstract:
This report presents the design approach for subsystems implemented in solid-state digital Air Data Computers to fit high accuracy and high speed needs of high performance aircraft. In addition, the design data provides direction for design specification of future solid-state digital Air Data Computers. A trade off of various techniques such as solid state analog, hybrid and digital mechanization utilizing current and latest state of the art approaches are discussed. The characteristics of the necessary design parameters to achieve total system accuracy and response requirements has an enormous variety of meanings therefore a proposed specification checklist is presented to minimize the complexity of equipment and to insure that all pertinent areas are realistically specified.
