ABSTRACT:
Hydraulic power supplies for aircraft which have such hydraulically operated systems as flaps, ailerons, spoilers, rudders, elevators, brakes, and retractable and steerable landing gear. Typically, the aircraft will be of the multiengine type; and there will also be a multiplicity of hydraulic power supplies and engines. This scheme can be utilized to provide operating redundancy for the hydraulically operated devices of the aircraft. Each hydraulic power supply has a solid state controller which has a number of inputs as well as control and information providing functions. Control over the functioning of each hydraulic power supply can also be exercised by flight deck crew-operated switches which are connected to inputs of the solid state controllers.
