‘The FIAT G91 R/4 (fig. 1-1) is a lightweight strike
reconnaisance fighter suitable for low altitude, high speed
photographie reconnaissance of tactical missions and
can also be employed in air-to-air combat.
‘The G91 R/+isa single-place, mono-jet reconnaissance
aireraft with fully retractable rieycle landing gear,
swept-back low wings and empennage. It is equipped
with thee VINTEN P95-MK 3 cameras installed. in
the nose and a REICHHALTER D-6B sound recorder
The airplane is primarily designed for two types of
photographic missions:
PRIMARY = High-speed, low-altitude daytime re=
connaissance for perspective (photo-
graphy (forward, port, and. stare
board)
SECONDARY ~ Daytime reconnaissance for plani-
tric photography
There are two pylons under each wing panel for
external loads. The inner pylons ean carry two auxilisry
deoppable fuel tanks (68:68 gals, 260 liters cach) or,
diferent combinations of weapons. The outer pylens
can only carry weapons
‘The airplane is powered by a BRISTOL SIDDELEY
ORPHEUS MK. 80302 turbojet engine (fig. 1-2) which
has a rated sea-level static thrust of 5000 pounds (2270
gs).
Steel armor plates protects the cockpit and the most
vital sections of the aircraft (fig. 1-3). The cockpit is
ait conditioned and pressurized and offers excellent
visibility thataids in searching out and locating the targets.

RECONNAISSANCE CAMERA SYSTEM
The reconnaissance camera system of the G91-R/4
consists of three VINTEN P95 MK.3 cameras (fig. 418)
located in the nose of the aircraft. The cameras are
arranged:
=A forward perspective camera installed in the
forward nose has its fixed optical axis inclined 15°
down and forward to che longitudinal axis of the
aierafi.
— Two lateral cameras (pore and starboard) located
bchind the forward camer have their optical axes
inclined 15° downward to the horizon and 90° to the
airplane course.
The three cameras are used for the execution of
primary missions while the port camera is used for
secondary missions. ‘This camera is located to serve
for cither lateral perspective photography or for high
alti«ide or low altitude vertical planimetric photo-
graphy. During vertical photography, an intervalo-
ineter is used with the camera co control the frequency
of the pictures during camera operation
‘The CAMERA control panel with a counter for
cach camera is located below the hydraulic system
pressure gages om the instrument panel
‘The camera sighting system consists of @ sight for
the forward camera and ewo recticles fitted to. the
cmopy frame for the two lateral cameras, Camera
operation is controlled by a button on the forward
lower left side of the control stick grip (fg. 1-19}.AIRPLANE CONFIGURATIONS

ENGINE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
Fuel is contained in nine pressurized fuel cells in the
fuselage and in two pressurized droppable fuel tanks
under the wings. Fuel fows through the hydraulically
driven flow-proportioner, that maintains a constant
center of gravity for the aircraft, into No.5 cell. No. 5

cell has a submerged electric booster-pump that incor-
porates an inverted flight device. This booster-pump
delivers fuel (fig. 1-12) through a low-pressure cock
(manually selected from the cockpit by the FUEL L.P.
cock lever in the throttle geoup), and a low-pressure
fucl filter t0 the engine driven high-pressure pump.
[A pressure switch is incorporated in the filter and when
coutler pressure of the filter drops below 5 [Link]. because
the filter is clogged or because the booster-pump has
failed, the switch closes an electric circuit and lights
the FUEL LOW PRESSURE red warning light. This
«push-to-test » type light is located on the left of che

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM
‘THE THROTTLE
The pilo’s only control of the engine is the throttle
located on the left cockpit console (fig. 1-10). It is
mechanically connected 9 the combined throttle valve
and high pressure cock of the engine. Located on top
of the throttle lever are the « SPEED BRAKE « selector
switch, the oIGNIT » button for relight in Hight and
the «MIC» button.
‘The throttle quadrant marked « STOP », « CLOSED »,

thrust. Throttle friction can be regulated by means
of e THR, FRICTION » adjuster by tuning the band-
wheel clockwise to «INCREASE, Between the
throttle lever and the friction adjuster is the fuel low=
pressure cock (L.P. cock). Its two positions are CLOSED
(back) and OPEN (forward).
‘THE ENGINE-DRIVEN FUEL PUMP
‘The engine-driven high pressure fuel pump is a
variable stroke pump controlled by a servorpressure
system. The metered fuel flow is a function of servo
pressure regulated by the components of the fuel control
system.
THE COMBINED CONTROL UNIT (C.C.U.)
High pressure fuel is delivered to the Combined
Contol Unit (C.C.U,) which contains che Throtle~
Valve for the pilot to vary the engine rpm.) combined
with the HighPressure Cock (for stopping the engine)
and is connected to the pilot's throttle lever. From the
throttle valve, the firel Hows to the Fuel Flow Distr-
huor and Damp Valve also contained in the CCU.

and then by the primary and secondary circuits, to the
Duplex bumers. The distributor and the Duplex
burners ensure proper atomization of facl at low and
high flow rates. The dump valve is kept closed by
primary pressure when the throttle valve is open and
the engine is running or windmilling. When the engine
is shut down by moving the throttle to STOP, pressure
falls and a spring opens the dump valve which drains
all fuel contained in the primary manifold overboard,
‘THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CONTROL (B.P.C.)
‘The C.C.U. contains the Barometric Pressure Control
(B.C) which, at any fixed setting of the throttle
automatically controls fuel fow and rp.m, during
changes of air speed and altitude.
‘THE EGT LIMITER
‘The EGT limiter is installed in the tail pipe and by a
pneumatic signal, via the Venturi tube connected to
the B.P.C,, overrides the B.P.C. and reduces fuel flow
to prevent the E.G.T. from exceeding the maximom
limit. During take-off and inicial climb the rp.m, is
governed at 100% when ic is necessary due to high
ambient temperature, The EGT limiter is nor effective
daring rapidly changing conditions of fuel flow such
as rapid throttle opening. The controlled EGY increases
with altitude and above 15,000 feet it might be neces-
sary to retard the throttle to avoid exceeding the 730" C
maximum limit
THE OVERSPEED GOVERNOR
Excessive rip.m. at full throttle is prevented by an
overspeed governor in the engine's fuel pump; this is
set t0 100% maximum on the ground. Govemed
p.m, do not vary much with a change in fuel density,
but it increases with altitude and tend to diminish
swith an increase in airspeed. Maximum in flight is
101% and overspeed should not exceed 103% or last
for more than 20 seconds
‘THE AIR/FUEL RATIO CONTROL (AFRC) WITH
py, SWITCH
‘At all altitudes up co 30,000 fect, when the throttle
is opened rapidly the rate of increase of fuel low to
the burners is limited by the A.F.R.C. to avoid com-
pressor stall or excessive EGT, On the ground the
AFC. is set to give acceleration from 40% r.p.m.
to 2% less than the available maximum p.m. in five
to cight seconds after a throttle slam to OPEN. Acccle-
ration times vary directly with ambient temperatures.

THE PRESSURE-RATIO LIMITER (PRL)
This automatic control in the engine's fuel system,
prevents the compressor presure-ratio from becoming,
excessive at fall throttle, It reduces the maximum
flow of fuel permitted by the B.P.C. to limit the ratio
of compressor p.m. and relative temperature to a
safe vale, Above 3),(08 fect the maximum available
engine rpm. at full throttle may be limited to around
911% at conditions of low Mach No. and ambient

The pitch damper magnetic switch is located on the
armament panel of the left console and has ewe posi=
tions, ON and OFF, This switch controls the opening
of the hydraulic actuating cylinder hydraulic pressure
shutoff valve through a control valve controlled by the
rate gyro, which plots the angular specd of the airplane
with respect to the horizon.
The pitch damper release switeh is located on the
control stick just below the stick grip. Depressing this
switch will disengage the pitch damper causing the
magnetic PITCH DAMPER switch to retum to OFF.
YAW DAMPER
‘A yaw damper (fig. 1-18) increases the directional
stability of the airplane by sensing the rate of directional
change and clectrically varying (through an clectric
servo control) the rudder position to dampen out che
change. The yaw damper should be on at any time that
oscillations must be reduced.
“YAW DAMPER" SWITCH
The YAW DAMPER switch on the armament
control panel of the left console, controls the yaw
damper. Ie has two positions: ON» and ° OFF.
FLIGHT CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
CONTROL STICK GRIP

RUDDER PEDALS
‘The rudder pedals (fig. 1-20) can be adjusted fore
and afe by rotating the toothed handwheel Located
inboard of the pedals.
CONTROL LOCK
‘The control surfaces can be locked (fig. 1-21) by a
lever located forward of the control stick. When this
lever is mated to the lug on the control column and
the spring-loaded pin is inserted, the control stick
locks. At the same time, a pin engages and locks
the pedals in the center position and the throttle is
lacked in the «STOP. position by a teleflex cable.
NORMAL TRIM SWITCH
Normal trim is controlled by a four-position spring-
loaded switch on top of the control stick grip (see
fig. 1-19).
“The center position is neutral. Holding the normal
trim switch forward or aft changes the position of the
horizontal stabilizer leading edge and trims the aircraft
nose down or up. Holding the normal trim switch
to cither side changes the control stick neutral position,
through the artificial feel system and causes the corres-
ponding wing to be trimmed down.
ALTERNATE LONGITUDINAL TRIM SWITCH
‘The four position «EMERG. LONG'L TRIM»
switch, on the left console trim control panel (fig. 1-22)
provides an alternate circuit for che horizontal stabilizer.
TThe switch positions are NORMAL, NOSE DOWN,
OFF, and NOSE UP. The EMERG. LONG'L TRIM
switch must be NORMAL to. provide power for
normal trim, In ease of normal trim failure, use of
this switch provides longitudinal trim at the same
speed obtained by use of the normal trim switch,
Moving the alternate longitudinal trim switch to OFF
disconnects the normal trim circuit
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER POSITION INDICA-
TOR
‘The horizontal stabilizer position indicator is mounted
left of the AILERON SERVO pressure gage on the
instrument panel. Its scale ranges from « NOSE UP»
to * NOSE DOWN » and has a red mark for take-off
position. The stabilizer can travel +5° to —2° with
a tolerance of +15’ —0’ in both directions.

FLIGHT CONTROL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The Aight control hydraulic system (fig. 1-23) is
powered by the utilicy hydraulic system and has an
independent return line to the hydraulic luid reservoir,
‘The fight control hydraulic system comprises the aileron
normal system, aileron emergency system, and elevator
system, Each system has an accumulator which has a
check valve and a 4000 psi. pressure reliof valve
AA pressure reducing valve is provided for the emergency
system supply line to reduce Fluid pressure from 3550
psi. to 2850 psi
AILERON SERVO SYSTEM PRESSURE GAGE
‘The « AILERON SERVO» dual gage is located on
the «HYDRAULIC SYSTEM» control panel. Ic has
two pointers, «NORMAL» and «EMERG», that
indicate system pressure of the flight control normal
and emergency systems. Two pressure stubbers (one
for cach circuit) installed before the pressure transmitter,
protect the instrument from abrupt pressure changes.
The aileron servo switch labeled + AILERON
SERVO NORMAL SYSTEM PRESSURE», has two
positions, «ON» and « OFF» and is protected by a
red cover that holds i in the OFF position. Raising
the cover and turning the switch ON supplies alrernate
accumulator pressure to the aileron servo controls
through an independent circuit.
NORMAL SYSTEM LOW PRESSURE WARNING
LIGHT
The normal system LOW PRESS red waming light
is calibrated at 2630 ++ 107 psi. This light illuminates
whenever the normal system pressure drops below this
value, indicating that automatic transfer to the flight
control mechanical system will occur as soon as residual
accumulator pressure is used.
The elevator servo switch is on the lower center
instrument panel. It is labeled elevator servo PRES-

SURE and has two positions, «ON» and «OFF»
that are used to engage or disengage the clevator
‘The elevator servo disengage amber warning light
is located above the elevator servo control switch and
illuminates when the switch is «OFF» and the stick
is mechanically connected to the elevator.
‘WING FLAP SYSTEM
Each flap is operated by an individual electric actuator
mechanically interconnected by a flexible shaft that
synchronizes fap travel. In ease of power failure of
cone actuator, the other will drive both flaps (at a reduced
speed) through the synchronizing shaft. ‘The actuators

WING FLAP LEVER
The wing flap lever, located outboard of the throttle
and marked ¢FLAP», moves on a quadrant marked
«UP», «HOLD» and «DOWN».
Placing the lever to © UP» or DOWN», supplies
power to the retraction or extension side of the actuator.
Power to the actuators is automatically shut off by
limit switches when the flaps reach the maximum
travel. For any intermediate flap position move the
flap lever to «HOLD» when the flaps have reached
the desired position,
