MOTION & FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS
Internal Weapon Caps Actuators
The Internal Weapon Bay Actuators System, which is being developed for Turkey's 5th generation multi-role combat aircraft, the National Combat Aircraft Project. It is designed to provide the low radar signature characteristic required for a 5th generation fighter aircraft by housing the munitions in the internal weapon bays under the fuselage.
The system's fast operation significantly reduces the aircraft's radar signature. The system is specially designed to ensure smooth opening of the doors during any maneuvers and under challenging environmental conditions encountered during the aircraft's missions.
Internal Weapon Bay Doors Actuation System comprises main and side weapon bay doors actuation system. Internal Weapon Bay Doors Actuation System consists of electrohydraulic and rotary mechanical drive systems, electronic control unit with closed-loop control system, angular gearbox, geared rotary actuators, travel limiters, uplock mechanism, position sensors and torque tubes.
