This AIR concerns itself with the end use of Fluidic (or Flueric) control hardware on aerospace vehicle applications. The fluidic control hardware application is viewed as a system comprised of the following subsystems:
Power Source
Power Conditioner
Fluidic/Flueric Control(s)
This AIR identifies potential power sources and relates the design of the fluidic/flueric controls to the nature of both the power source and, as required, the power conditioner. In the unlikely event that the power source yields a fluid which is always at the desired pressure level, temperature range and flow rate capacity and, further, is free of particulate or liquid contaminate, pressure pulsation, etc., no power conditioner is required. Experience has shown that the power conditioner is usually necessary to assure operability and reliability of the total control system. The functions of the fluidic power conditioner are analagous to those of the electrical power supply regulator circuit in an electrical control system or those of the hydraulic servo supply regulator in a hydraulic control system.
Examples of (fluidic) power sources are given along with the referencing of government or industry standards (or other documents) which are of interest. AIR 744A "Auxiliary Power Sources for Aerospace Applications" is an excellent, more broadly based document which may be utilized in conjunction with this AIR.
Input parameters and output parameters, relative to the power conditioner, are presented. Also, ambients affecting the design of the power conditioner are indicated.
The Flight Control and Vehicle Management Systems Panel is responsible for the development of standards and recommended practices related to Commercial Flight Control Systems and the Flight Control functions within Military Vehicle Management Systems (VMS). The Panel is also responsible for developing guidelines for the interface and redundancy required between the VMS and other safety critical systems. The panel provides a forum for Flight Controls and Vehicle Management System engineers, contracting agencies, prime contractors, and suppliers to exchange technical information and discuss regulatory updates, recent technology developments, lessons learned and issues related to system development and in service operation.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
