It is clectrically powered and utilizes 16 mm films. The gun camera shoots thorough the armored windshield gss and can be used with or without firing the guns. Te can operate at 16,32 of 64 frames per second. GUN SIGHT ‘The SEOM type 834 reflection type gun sight is located in mid position on top of the instrament panel Section 1 ENGINE GENERAL The Bristol Siddeley Orpheus MK 80302 is a straight low turbojec engine with a seven-stage axial compressor driven by a single stage turbine. The maximum sea level static theust rating is 5000 pounds (2270. kgs). Air is supplied to the compressor inlet through a duct from the ait intake under the nose of the aircraft There is no provision for anti-icing the engine or the intake ‘The combustion system consists of seven separate flame tubes within an annular chamber. Each flame tube has a duplex bumer fed from a flow distriburor in the Combined Control Unit (C.C.U,) of the engine fucl system. The flow distributor receives high pressure fuel through a combined throttle valve and high pressure cock supplied by a Lucas D-size pump with a hydro- mechanical governor driven by the engine. ‘The electric ignition system is a B.T.H, high energy system. with two igniters in fame tubes No. 4 and No. 7 which are connected £0 the other five tubes by intercomnector tubes. "The starter system comprisee a B.T-H. cartridge starter with ewo cartridge breeches that ate electrically selected. and fied. Engine oil pressure prevents the starter jaw from being engaged when the engine is running or windmilling, ‘The engine oil tank is mounted on the engine and is ‘equipped to provide an oil supply during short petiods of negative «Gs. There is no oil cooler. Two compressor bleeds from the compressor 7th stage are used for cockpit pressurization, air-conditioning, and fuel tank pressurization. The jet pipe and shroud a mounted directly on the engine. Two thermocouples and a single Lucas exhaust gas temperature limiter are installed in the tail pipe. The nozzle is ficced with trimmers Engine driven accessories are a 6 kw Labinal D.C. generator and a Messier hydraulic pump. ‘A fireproof bulkhead isolates the engine combustion system and hot parts from the cool zone that contains the engine fuel and oil systems and accessories. This sikplane has a fice detector system but no fire extin- guisher system. c cantile 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 1.23 ENGINE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM Figure 1-9 1-25, T.O. NATO IRF-GO1-R4-1 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 ful quantity indicator on the instrument panel. 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 », “OPEN + has three detents for the throttle lever; one at STOP, giving high pressure cock shut off; onc at «START AND FLIGHT IDLE», giving minimam pan; and the third at fall forward for maximum. 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. Section 1 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.
