2.2.1 Model‐based Safety Analysis of a Flap Control System

Abstract: Fault tree analysis is a widely adopted technique to systematically analyze causes for a given failure of a complex system Traditionally, a fault tree is constructed top-down based on knowledge about the structure of the system and the interaction of subsystems With the increasing system complexity and the accompanying introduction of model-based development techniques in the industrial process, a substantial amount of this knowledge is laid down in the system models The main focus of the presented techniques and tools is to automatically exploit this knowledge by extracting a fault tree suitable for FaulTree+ directly from a given design modeled in Statemate The resulting fault tree is complete wrt the specified failure, ie the analysis considers every possible causal failure combination which is guaranteed by applying model checking techniques Using an aircraft Flap control system this paper shows how to smoothly integrate the technique into an existing model-based process

Method of managing an engine failure on a multi-engined aircraft having a hybrid power plant

Abstract: A method of managing an engine failure on a rotary wing aircraft ( 1 ) having a hybrid power plant ( 5 ) with at least two fuel-burning engines ( 13, 13 ′), at least one electric machine ( 12 ), and a main gearbox ( 11 ). Said aircraft ( 1 ) also has electrical energy storage means ( 14 ) and a main rotor ( 2 ) mechanically connected to said hybrid power plant ( 5 ). In said method, during each flight, the operation of said engines ( 13, 13 ′) is monitored in order to detect a failure of any one of them, and then once a failure of one of said engines ( 13, 13 ′) has been detected, said electric machine ( 12 ) is controlled, if necessary, to deliver auxiliary power W e in order to avoid a deficit appearing in the total power W T of said hybrid power plant ( 5 ), thereby enabling the pilot of said aircraft ( 1 ) to fly said aircraft ( 1 ) safely without degrading said hybrid power plant ( 5 ).

Distributed flight control system implemented according to an integrated modular avionics architecture

Abstract: A flight control system for an aircraft, intended for controlling a plurality of actuators adapted for actuating control surfaces of the aircraft from information supplied by piloting members and/or sensors of the aircraft. The system includes a primary control system adapted for controlling a first set of control surface actuators and a secondary control system adapted for controlling a second set of control surface actuators, the primary and secondary systems being respectively powered by independent energy sources of different types.
