Impact To First Level Interface Requirements Versus
Conventional Design (+ = Good, - = Bad, 0 = No Impact)
- Typical Provisions Required
- Alternate Means of Providing Lateral/Directional S&C
- All Moving Tips, Spoilers, etc.
- Power for Actuation of Alternate Surfaces
- Over 100% Increase in Control Surface Actuation Power Versus Tailled
- Additional Power Will Require Increase In Aircraft Heat Rejection Capability
- Additional Weight of New Equipment and Structure
- More Sophisticated Flight Control Laws
- Effort Required To Put On An Existing Vehicle
- New Control Suite Required - Possibly New Planform
- Adequate Power for Actuation Must Be Found
- Additional Heat Sink Must Be Available
- Substantial Modifications To Flight Control Laws Required
Vehicle Integration: Interface Requirements
Notes:
Typical provisions required for new vehicle design include: alternate means of lateral/directional S&C, power for actuation of the alternate surfaces, additional heat rejection capacity, additional weight of new equipment and structure and more sophisticated flight control laws. Existing vehicle modifications include: new control suite, adequate power for actuation, additional heat sink and substantial modifications to the flight control laws.
