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

Overview of the Project: In this project, a Finite State Machine is used to manage the retraction and extension of an airplane's landing gear (FSM). The most efficient algorithm is the FSM, which is a mathematical processing model.

Actually, an airplane has 3 gears for landing: Nose gear, Left gear, Right gear.

There is an electrically powered hydraulic pump that applies pressure to the gears to bring it down or pull it up.

There is a limit switch on each leg of the gear. One extra squat switch is installed in the nose gear to assess whether the plane is on the ground or not.

Goals:

• Valve's direction can be controlled.
• Controlling the retraction andextension of the landing gear on an aeroplane.

Key Highlights of the Project:

A direction valve is controlled by the software to allow the hydraulic pressure to either raise or lower the landing gear.

Deliverables of this project:

Implementing the control for the retraction and extension of Airplane’s landing gear using the Finite state machine with the knowledge of various states of switch and gear.

Expected outcomes:

The student will learn about the Finite State Machine algorithm, which is used to manage the retraction and extension of an airplane's landing gear by using the plane's switch and gear states.
