Project 2 - Implement the Code for controlling the retraction and extension of Airplane’s landing gear

Overview of thye project:

1) The project is to know the knowledge of retraction and extensions of landing gear using a code.

2) This can be achieved by using finite state machine which is used in the states header file.

3) FSM (Finite state machine) is a mathematical model of computation.

4) It is the most efficient algorithm which can be used.

4) The creation of source file helps us easy to understand the program.

Goals:

1) The main goals are to control the direction of valve and retraction and extension of landing gear.

2) The control of direction valve is controlled by pilot lever which we can see in the program (reference given in attachment provided).

3) The retraction and extension of landing gear is controlled by switch states in the program.

4) Hence, all the goals are achieved.

key Highlights of the project:

1) We can observe that the direction valve helps us to raise or lower the landing gear.

2) The direction valve is controlled by the software.

3) With the help of this software we control the hydraulic mechanism.

4)The hydraulic pump controls the raising or lowering of the landing gear.

5) The hydraulic mechanism helps us to land and take off of the airplane.

Deliverables of the project:

1) The retraction and extension of landing gears is controlled by various switch and gear.

2) The status of these switches and gears are shown below in various tables.

switch state State of Gears Limit Switch CLOSED Gear is UP Limit Switch OPENED Gear is DOWN Switch State State of Airplane Squat Switch CLOSED Airplane is grounded and Gears are locked Squat Switch OPENED Airplane is taking off / landing / airborne A direction valve is controlled by the software to allow hydraulic pressure to either raise or lower the landing gear. Table 2:- Status of Direction Valve States of landing gear Direction valve = Down (Gear Down)(Parked at bay or Landed) Direction valve = Up Raising Gear(Taking Off) Control of hydraulic pump for the landing gear part is disabled Gear Up(Airborne) Direction valve = down Lowering Gear(Landing) INPUT FOR THE DIRECTION VALVE:- Table 3:- Pilot’s Lever State Direction Valve State Lever UP Direction valve = Up Lever Down Direction valve = Down Table 4:- Pilot’s Lever State Light Status Lever Rising Edge Red Lever Falling Edge Table 5:- Every gear has one light. According to the state of the gear,color of light is changing. Landing Gear State Light Status Gear is up OFF Gear is down Green Gear in transit(Raising or Lowering) Red
