P Bradshaw EDXCW Southampton 3
Pop-Up Spoilers • Description • High lift: Slats, single slotted fowler flaps & aileron • Roll control: o/b aileron & i/b spoiler • Load control: o/b aileron & o/b spoiler • Lift reduction: Pop-up spoilers • Speed brake: Pop-up spoilers • Pros: • No hinge moment • Efficient lift loss & drag smaller chord • Cons: • Chord limited by wing thickness • Structure for high speed use
Split Ailerons • Description • High lift: Slats, single slotted fowler flaps & ailerons • Roll control: o/b aileron & spoilers • Load control: o/b aileron & spoilers • Lift reduction: spoilers • Speed brake: spoilers, split aileron • Pros: • Increased drag without lift loss • Improved steep approach capability • Could be used for roll control • Cons: • Increased complexity
Vented Aileron • Description • High lift: Slats, single slotted fowler flaps & vented aileron • Roll control: o/b aileron & spoilers • Load control: spoilers • Lift reduction: spoilers • Speed brake: spoilers • Pros: • Acts like an aileron • Increased high lift performance • Cons: • No negative deflection • Reduced off load capability • Reduced roll capability from ailerons
Inner Aileron / Flaperon • Description • High lift: Slats, single slotted fowler flaps & aileron • Roll control: i/b & o/b aileron, spoilers • Load control: both ailerons & spoilers • Lift reduction: spoilers • Speed brake: spoilers • Pros: • Less flutter risk • Loads reduction from locking o/b aileron • No jet interaction • Cons: • Flap continuity lost increase in induced drag
Vented & Fixed Shroud Spoilers (FSS) • Description • High lift: Slats, single slotted fowler flaps & ailerons • Roll control: o/b aileron & spoilers (see description below) • Load control: o/b aileron, spoilers • Lift reduction: spoilers • Speed brake: spoilers Spoiler 1 - Vented S2&3 - Normal • Pros: • Spoiler 1 can be used in flight • FSS produces drag without lift loss • Reduced hinge moment on FSS • Cons: • FSS has lower lift loss • FSS is heavier S4&5 – Fixed Shroud
Standard Clearances for LG Concept Studies • Weight:- Total LG weight typically 3% of MTOW for commercial airliners • Tyre clearances:- Spinning Tyre to airframe = 80mm minimum for nominal static structure (50mm after tolerances and deflections) Landing gear structure to airframe = 50mm minimum for nominal static structure (25mm after tolerances and deflections) • Airframe skin thickness:- Wing skin thickness = 50mm Belly fairing thickness = 100mm Nose bay skin thickness = 100mm

Landing Gear - Aerodrome reference code • The purpose of the Aerodrome reference code is to match aerodrome facilities to the A/C. It is a two part code. • The first part relates to the A/C reference field length • The second to the A/C wing span and L/G outer wheel span. • The details regarding the aerodrome reference code for L/G outer wheel span can be found in the ICAO aerodrome design manual Part 2 Chapter 1 (Taxiways). • The code elements are reproduced as follows;
Landing Gear - Aerodrome reference code • The code number for field length is chosen from the list below:-
Landing Gear - Aerodrome reference code bogie track Outer main gear wheel span • The code letter for element 2 is determined from the list below. The code letter is selected corresponding to the greatest wing span, or the greatest outer wheel span, whichever gives the more demanding code letter for the aircraft.
