Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of implementing present day fighter and attack aircraft with integrated actuator packages in the primary flight control system. The integrated package concept results in a control system having a considerably lower vulnerability to small arms fire than the conventional control system. A Simplex actuator, containing a single self-contained hydraulic supply was designed to meet the performance and structural interface requirements of the F-4 stabilator actuator. Three units were fabricated and functionally tested. One of the Simplex units was subjected to a comprehensive qualification test. The other two units were delivered to McDonnell Aircraft Company for flight testing. A Duplex integrated actuator, containing dual self-contained hydraulic systems and quadruplex electrical input channels, was designed, built, and tested. Test results demonstrate the basic feasibility of electrically signalled integrated actuator packages. Specific recommendations for further development of the integrated package concept are included.
