Multi-Channel Air Data Test Set
Product Code: MCADTS
The Curtiss-Wright Controls Integrated Sensing (CWCIS) Multi-Channel Air Data Test Set (MCADTS) has been developed typically for the military fast jet marketplace (TORNADO), but the technology is applicable to any fast jet requiring calibration, and checking of its propulsion system.
The Calibrator/Control Unit is truck mounted for portability. Its relatively light weight enables manual maneuvering with ease. The truck incorporates a parking brake which operates when the tow bar is latched In its vertical position. Ample stowage space is provided for all hoses and leads. A hinged, padlockable lid provides security and protection when the MCADTS is not in use.
Incorporated in the truck are four pitot, five static and two void outlets which can be individually isolated by solenoid valves controlled from the RCDU.
The MCADTS has integral vacuum and pressure supplies, generated via a mufti-headed dry diaphragm pump. The pump runs intermittently during operation of the MCADTS; only operating when pressure is demanded. The Remote Control and Display Unit (RCDU) is connected at the socket in the lower dish at the nearside bottom right corner of the CCU. For remote operation, it may be removed from the CCU and connected via its interconnecting lead or, alternatively, the extension lead if required. Various operational modes may be selected and controlled from the menus presented on the RCDU video screen.
