Concorde A.I.D.S. Powerplant Applications

Abstract

Concorde AIDS data is used by British Airways for Performance Trend Monitoring, engine control law verification and Low Cycle Fatigue life usage sampling. This paper outlines the requirements for these monitors with reference to the special needs of the Concorde powerplant, together with the content of the Rolls‐Royce computer programmes. The British Airways data acquisition, extraction and verification systems are also covered, together with the use of outputs within the airline organisation.
