BAE SYSTEMS Fields Electronic Flight Control System on Aermacchi M-346 Military Trainer.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- The two Aermacchi M-346 military training aircraft flying at this year's Paris Air Show The Paris Air Show (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace, Paris-Le Bourget) is an international trade fair for the aerospace business. It is held at Le Bourget airport near Paris, France every odd year, alternating both with the Farnborough International offer pilots carefree handling through a quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight control system underpinned by BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. electronic flight control system. BAE Systems has delivered two sets of the electronic flight control system that includes quad flight control computers, aircraft transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output. units, magnetic azimuth an arc of the horizon, intercepted between the vertical circle passing through any object and the magnetic meridian. This is found by observing the object with an azimuth compass. - Hutton. See also: Azimuth detectors, air temperature sensors, integrated multifunctional probes, and pilot interface transducers. The electronic suite provides the aircraft's stability control, "g" limiting, stall and spin prevention, and adaptability to multiple degrees of automation and autopilot modes. BAE Systems' electronics are part of the flight control system developed in partnership with Teleavio, an Italian company acting as an integrated project team formed by Alenia Aeronautica Alenia Aeronautica (formerly Aeritalia) is an aerospace engineering corporation in Italy, a subisidary of Finmeccanica. Aeritalia was originally owned by FIAT. , Galileo Avionica, and Selenia Communications. "As a leader in fly-by-wire systems for military aircraft ranging from jets to transports, BAE Systems is proud to be a member of the Aermacchi team as a provider of flight-critical electronics," said Sean Bond, the company's vice president of Aerospace Controls. "Our electronics are designed to provide smooth, precise maneuverability across the full range of mission and flight conditions and have lived up to those expectations during flight testing." Designed for combat pilot training, the aerodynamic M-346 is maneuverable and can be controlled at an angle of attack exceeding 40 degrees. It features a high thrust-to-weight ratio Thrust-to-weight ratio is, as its name suggests, the ratio of instantaneous thrust to weight (where weight means weight at the Earth’s surface). It is a dimensionless parameter characteristic of rockets and jet engines, and of vehicles propelled by such engines (typically and has demonstrated outstanding field performance, with a take-off run of 400 meters, a landing distance of 520 meters. The aircraft can carry weapons that include bombs, rocket launchers, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-ground missiles. BAE Systems is an international company engaged in the development, delivery, and support of advanced defense and aerospace systems in the air, on land, at sea and in space. BAE Systems North America is one of America's foremost national security, aerospace, and information systems companies. |
