Aircraft Data Acquisition
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The introduction of digital systems instead of analog ones has created a major separation in the aviation technology. Although the digital equipment made possible that the increasingly faster controllers take over, we should say that the real world remains essentially analogue [4]. Fly-by-wire designers attempting to control and measure the real feedback of an aircraft were forced to find a way to connect the analogue environment to their digital equipment. In order to manage the implications of this division in aviation, data optimization and comparison has been quite an important task. The interest in using data acquisition boards is being driven by the technology and design standards in the new generation of aircraft and the ongoing efforts of reducing weight and, in some cases addressing the safety risks. This paper presents a sum of technical report data from post processing and diversification of data acquisition from Arinc 429 interface on a research aircraft platform. Arinc 429 is by far the most common data bus in use on civil transport aircraft, regional jets and executive business jets today. Since its introduction on the Boeing 757/767 and Airbus aircraft in the early 1980s hardly any aircraft has been produced without the use of this data bus. It was used widely by the air transport industry and is even found in non-aviation applications such as commercial and military applications.

Implementation of the panel method to the solution of flow around aircraft
In this study a panel method is used as a numerical technique for the solution of the potential three dimensional flows about a complete aircraft configuration to determine the aerodynamic characteristics. This approach...
Brinkman–Forchheimer-Darcy flow past an impermeable cylinder embedded in a porous medium
For the flow past an impervious cylinder embedded in a fluid saturated porous medium only the linear (Darcy and Darcy - Brinkman) models were used. In this work, the flow past an impermeable cylinder embedded in a fluid...
Comparative analysis of kill probability one of the main features of Air Defense Integrated Systems
The combat features of the Ground Based Air Defence Systems represent the potential of search, discovery, indicate, combat and destruction of the enemy's air assets and the ability to manoeuvre of forces and combat means...
Modelling the wear processes of the automotive brake pad and disc
The automotive disc braking system is based on the friction between a disc and two pads and this friction determines their wear. The theoretical study proposed in this paper aims to model this wear process. It is based o...
Overload prevention in model supports for wind tunnel model testing
Preventing overloads in wind tunnel model supports is crucial to the integrity of the tested system. Results can only be interpreted as valid if the model support, conventionally called a sting remains sufficiently rigid...
