US Patent:

45040303, Mar 12, 1985

Filed:

Dec 6, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/447361

Inventors:

John Kniat - Glastonbury CT
Joel F. Kuhlberg - New Hartford CT
Daniel A. Mickey - Broad Brook CT

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

B64D 3308
F02K 304

US Classification:

244 57

Abstract:

Cooling for an electronic package mounted on an aircraft engine housed in a nacelle is achieved by connecting the package to the inlet of the engine and overboard of the nacelle so that substantially continuous air flow over the electronic package will ensue from either direction depending on the varying pressure gradients adjacent the points where connections are made and the conditions exists during the flight envelope. This negates the necessity of providing positive pumping devices for effectuating the flow of the cooling air.

Abstract:

A distributed data acquisition system for a first engine controller determines a final, validated value of a critical flight condition variable by first determining: a first tentative value based on local environmental conditions, a second tentative value based on the performance of a first engine, and a third tentative value transferred directly from a similar data acquisition system linked to a second engine on the same aircraft. The data acquisition system compares the three tentative values and selects a final, validated value for use by the controller.
