SJ-100 Gets Advanced Russian Auto-Pilot: Cat IIIb Landings & More

Dec 10, 2024
Yakovlev and the Moscow Institute of Electromechanics and Automation have developed advanced Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) algorithms for the new SJ-100 aircraft. This new AFCS, a key component of the aircraft's Comprehensive Control System (CCS), offers both automatic and director-mode flight control, including features like autothrottle and guidance cues for pilots. A significant advancement is the inclusion of CAT IIIB automatic landing capabilities, allowing the SJ-100 to land safely in extremely low visibility conditions. This is achieved through sophisticated algorithms that control the aircraft during flare and touchdown, ensuring precise runway alignment. The development process involves rigorous testing, including preliminary tests on an "Electronic Bird" integration stand and extensive statistical modeling of over 2 million simulated landings to meet stringent aviation regulations. This cutting-edge technology aims to enhance safety, efficiency, and overall flight performance for the SJ-100 aircraft. Key takeaways: Advanced AFCS for the SJ-100: Offers both automatic and director-mode flight control. CAT IIIB Landing Capabilities: Enables safe landings in extremely low visibility. Comprehensive Control System (CCS): Improves overall aircraft system functionality. #SJ100 #AFCS #AutoPilot #CatIIIB #LandingSystem #FlightControl #Yakovlev #MoscowInstitute What is the SJ-100 aircraft?
