Hydraulics and landing gear

Abstract

A TRIPLEX HYDRAULIC SYSTEM provides maximum safety and reliability for the powered flying controls. In a triplex system, all three sub‐systems operate simultaneously so that if one fails, the two remaining sub‐systems continue to provide control without interruption, the failed sub‐system being isolated at leisure. In addition to the flying controls, the hydraulic system operates the landing gear, wheel brakes, nosewheel steering and freight doors.
