Experience of One UK Electronic Equipment Supplier With Bite on Engine/Flight Control Systems Over the Past Ten Years — Part 1

Abstract

This paper traces the history of Dowty Electronics' involvement in B.I.T.E. over the last ten years; it describes the techniques used, successes and failures, and customer reactions. Applications include the full authority engine control for the Olympus 593 in Concorde, the high integrity wing flaps controller for the BAe 146 shorthaul jet, the engine spool speed limiter for the RB‐211–524 in the Boeing 747, and the high integrity engine bleed valve controller for the RB‐211–535 in the Boeing 757 aircraft.
