Advanced Actuation Systems Development. Volume 1
Abstract:
This report describes six different research and development activities in flight control actuation. The activities are 1 the development and test of a unique linear actuator sealing system for high-pressure systems, 2 the development and test of a digital servovalve using piezo-controlled high-speed solenoid valves, 3 the performance evaluation of an F-15 rudder actuator under applied loads, 4 the performance evaluation of a Mission Adaptive Wing section under different load conditions, 5 the evaluation of output impedance modification of an electrohydraulic actuator for flutter suppression, and 6 the development and test of a direct drive valve and electronics analog and digital for an F-16 Horizontal TailFlapeRon actuator. This volume presents activities 1.2. and 3. Volume II presents activities 4. 5. and 6.
