T-45C TS, ADV & IUT ENG-13
Flight Control System
(b) Slats extended and airspeed increases
above 217 KIAS
(c) Slats selected when airspeed is above
217 KIAS (slats will not extend)
4.
Operating characteristics/limitations
a.
Slats divided into three segments per side that
Sg 3, fr 8
Fig 13: Slat System
are interconnected so they don't transmit wing
Components--
loads
Simplified
b.
Slats raised and lowered by HYD 1 powered
actuator in each wing that drive rods linked to
the inner and outer slat segments, the center
section is attached to and moves simulta-
neously with the two outer sections
c.
No system to extend slats with HYD 1 failure
d.
Full extension of slats is 15 degrees
e.
Speed restriction for deployment: 200 KIAS
NOTE: There is no blow back feature in the
slat hydraulic system.
f.
Maneuvering envelope with both slats extended
(symmetrical condition): 0 to +2.0 g max.
Maneuvering envelope with a split slats
(unsymmetrical condition): +1.0 to +1.5 g max
NOTE: Due to the design of the T-45 a split
slat condition is highly unlikely. Be advised that
this is not an impossibility and would be a very
dangerous situation should it occur.
