Aircraft Load Factor Overload Warning Systems

摘要

An Overload Warning System for fighter type aircraft combines analytical techniques of computing structural loads with flight conditions and aircraft control inputs to calculate the allowable load factor/control input on a real time basis. The flight conditions and aircraft control inputs are monitored by a microprocessor, which continuously monitors actual load factor, compares the answers with a computed allowable value and generates an output signal whenever a prescribed value is exceeded. This signal is available for transmission to aural or visual warning devices and for permanent recording. (Author)
