1. Stall warning system
① Introduction
• For providing warning, before the stall AoA is reached.
(require a sensor to detect stall condition)

• Angle of Attack(AoA) Indicators


Reed sensor Switch-type sensor Vane sensor

Used on GA aircraft GA aircraft Passenger Aircraft

Type Analog Electrical Electrical


Warning Signal Horn Horn and Light Stick shaker

1. Stall warning system
② Reed type
• Located in the wing leading
edge.

• Using scoop and a reed.


(Analog)

• As AoA increases, the point of


stagnation moves down and
the air makes reed vibrate
and sound (horn).
<Reed Sensor>

1. Stall warning system
③ Switch-type
• Located in the wing leading edge.

• At low or normal AoA, the tab is


held down.

• At near stall AoA, the micro-switch


is closed by the airflow.

• Completes the warning circuit that


activates a light or horn.
<Switch-type sensor>

④ Vane-type
• Located in the outside of the
fuselage.

• Free to rotate in the wind.

• Vane is connected to a synchro


that provides AoA to the system.

• At near stall AoA, Stick shaker is


activated.

2. Anti-skid system
① Introduction
• For preventing the main landing
gear wheels from locking up and
optimizing braking efficiency.

• Use electrical devices for


immediately control.

② Wheel Speed Sensor
• Wheel speed sensor is a
transducer.

• The AC speed sensor provide


AC frequency and DC speed
sensor provide DC signal.
(proportional to the speed
wheel)

• Provide the electrical output


the (speed of wheels) to
control unit. <Wheel Speed Sensor>

2. Anti-skid system
③ Anti-skid Control unit
(In case of B737)
• Convert AC frequency to DC
voltage.

• Control unit compares aircraft


speed to wheel speed.

• Use the velocity comparator to


adjust brake pressure
(Increasing or decreasing). <Anti-Skid Control Unit>

④ Control Valves
• Control valves is electrically
and hydraulic valves.

• The torque motor use the


control unit input and adjust
position of flapper, to make the
brake pressure increase or
decrease.
