• Cranfield University - Research Project - Alternative Electromechanical Actuators for Primary Control Surfaces of Aircraft

  Bedfordshire 2015 - 2015 Background and Research Objectives
  The goal of this project is to study the possibilities of developing an electromechanical actuation system for the primary control surfaces of aircraft. The author proposed alternative EMAs tending to improve their characteristics and make them usable for primary actuation systems.
  
  Project Steps and Technical Description
  The biggest challenges are mechanical jamming avoidance and thermal management.
  Five alternative EMA architectures are proposed. One proposal has been selected. The author went through requirements capture, top level architecture and safety analysis. The initial sizing and detailed design phases have been applied to the F-14 Hermes aileron actuation (2014/2015 Group Design Project). The EMA-proposal selected is based on a direct drive actuation system formed with two high torque brushless DC motors. The motor performances have been improved by adding active braking and cooling systems. The thermal behaviour of the electric motors has been simulated by the means of a Matlab Simulink model. It takes the aileron deflection as input and gives the thermal response as output.
  
  Results
  The electric motor selected is a torque BLDC motor able of 3490 Nm max peak torque and 816 Nm max continuous torque. By running the Simulink model, the motor coil temperatures are checked. It must not exceed the given maximum value of 130°C (manufacturer limit). The simulations confirmed initial assumptions. The braking system is efficient inasmuch as it considerably reduces the temperature taken by the motor. For instance, for a given simulation, the temperature taken by the motor coil without the braking system is 223°C, and with the braking system reaches only 61°C.
  
  Conclusion
  The proposed EMA is justified by the means of successful simulations. It has been showed that the proposed system does not reach excessive temperature, mainly thanks to the braking system.

• Cranfield University - Group Design Project F-14 - Civil Multi-Purpose Air Freighter

  Bedfordshire 2014 - 2015 The F-14 is a Civil Multi-Purpose Air Freighter which missions are typically humanitarian, oversized freight transport, firefighting and an extension to military applications. 95 students representing more than 20 nationalities, are involved in the design process towards a detailed design and a presentation to industries as the Critical Design Review (CDR). The team is divided in 3 groups namely Structures, Systems and Avionics. Secondary teams support the project coordination.
  My task was to design the F-14 fuel systems. An industry system design approach (SAE ARP 4754A) was followed. This project helps me to develope my intercultural management skills, my communication within a team, CAD software (CATIA V5) and my knowledge about aircraft design in the industry.
