Distributed Architecture Optimal Design for Aircraft Thrust Management System with Safety Method

Abstract

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft thrust management system design and reduce the risk of engineering development, the distributed optimization architecture design based on the aircraft safety method for thrust management system has been put forward in this paper. First, the thrust management function requirement is analysed; second, the distributed architecture design method for thrust management is presented by following the SAE ARP4754 and ARP4761; then the automatic take-off thrust control system function which is not available in Airbus and Boeing civil aircraft thrust management architecture is designed by using this method. The results show that the method proposed in this paper is feasible and effective. The usage efficiency of airborne computer is improved and the aircraft weight is decreased, which greatly enhanced the safety and reliability of aircraft thrust management system.
