Flap Simulation and Testing System for the A400M Airbus — •Klaus Metzger¹ and Peter Scholz² — ¹imc Meßsysteme GmbH, Voltastr. 5, 13355 Berlin — ²ADDITIVE GmbH, Max-Planck-Str. 22b, 61381 Friedrichsdorf

The measurement system consists of an actual Airbus A400M wing, combined with a virtual simulated wing. It is designed to measure the electrical and mechanical systems of the entire wing flap system. In addition to the hundreds of analog signals (including force, temperature, and voltage), it is important to record additional information, including the safety critical data on the ARNIC bus and other modern industrial serial data buses.

In summary, the whole system can handle and store a data volume of several mega words per second, from the various different data sources. The control and response of the missing wing is simulated such that the airplane systems behave as if it works with a complete system. This makes it possible to simulate and analyze all flight relevant situations. For data storage, PC systems with terra-byte capacities are used. A user friendly configuration and analysis interface, allowing operations simultaneously on six systems completes the system.
