APPLICATION OF EMI

• LANDING GEAR – EXTENSION & RETRACTION

• CONTROL SURFACE MOVEMENT

(PRIMARY , SECONDARY , AUXILLARY,LEADING EDGE DEVICES,FLAPERON)

• BRAKING ( FRICTIONAL & MAGNETIC)

CLASSIFICATION -EMC
• CONTROL SYSTEM CLASSIFIED INTO

1)ELECTRO HYDRAULIC

DIGITAL SIGNAL ARE FUNCTION OF R,V,&I

BY VARYING THE RESITANCE VOLTAGE ALSO VARIES
THESE PROCESSED SIGNAL PASSES TO PUMP INPUT
HYDRALIC NETWORK GETS PRESURISED
FLUID PRESURE MAKES ACTUATOR MOVEMENT
