 STRUCT URE

The aircraft in general, is corrrposed of all rnetal, stressed-skin struc-

tures, including the control surfaces; the rnain material used being Z4ST alurni-
nurrr alloy. s

Fuselage

The fuselage is a serni-rnonocoque, three-section structure. The nose

anr, rnid sections are securely fastened together with twenty bolts and five screws,
while the aft and rnid sections are held together using three bolt tension fittings.
A rrbath-tub" shapecl keelson is the rnain structural mernber on the aircraft
bottom centre line.

(r) Nose Section

The nose section, extending back tora canted bulkhead at sta. 81.8, con-
tains the following equipment: " .,/

Access to this section is rnade possible by a large hood door on each

side. These doors are each rnounted on three sealed bearing hinges, and held
closed by three latches. The latch pins are rrrounted on rrrovable serrated plates
by which the doors rrray be adjusted for proper fitting.

A red cord used as a yaw or drift indicator is attached on upper surface

of the nose section, and care must be taken when closing the hood doors to en-
sure the cord is free.

The pitot head and static air inlets are also located on the nose section.

CAUT ION

Due to the necessity of discharging the oxygen systern prior to removal

of the nose secti.onr great care rnust be exercised to ensure that all clothing and
equipment in the area are cornpleteLy free of grease and oil. An explosion or a
fire will result if these elernents come into contact.

(z) Mid Section

The rnid section, extending from sta. 81.8 to sta.277.5 plus lZ, has had
26.6 inches added to it at the cockpits, and 12 inclees to its aft end, when adopted
from the F80 Shooting Star. These changes provided for a second cockpit as well
as a change in engine, frorn the Allison J33 to the Nene 10.

Trre rnid section also contains the Fuselage Fuel Tank,.which is located
just behind the rear cockpit.

Irnrnediately behind that is the Plenurn Chamber, containing the forward

portionoftheengine,whichisrnountedffiionfittings.Theplenum
charnber provides air for the double-entry, single-stage corrrpressor on the engine,
being connected to an air intake duct along each side of the fuselage. Access to the
plenum area is made possible by two lower doors and two larger upper doors. The
uPPer doors each contain a spring-loaded auxiliary air intake door, which opens
inward to admit extra air to the engine corrrpressor when forward speed of the air-
craft is insufficient to allow for the volurne of air required for engine consurnption.

The Nose Landing Gear is attached to the front bulkhead of the mid sec -
tion,andretrffie1Iinthe1owerforwardstructure.Twodoors
enclose the nose gear when retracted.

Three Levelling Pads are located on the lower longerons in the nose
wheel-well, two on the right, one on the left.

The two Dive Flaps, also supported by the rnid section, are attached on
the underside, forward of the rnain gear doors, one on each side of the aircraft
centre line.

The Wing is attached to the rnid section by ten rnain fittings, and fillets
are used to foffirnooth contours at the fuselage and wing intersections.

(3) Aft Section

The fuselage aft section is held to the mid section by three tension fitt-
ings - two upper on the rnid section and one lower on the aft section.

This section supports the Ernpennage and the aft end of the engine Tail
Pipe. A tail pipe joint scupper is provided to drain overboard any leakage of
fuel at this point.

(4) wins

The laminar-flow wing is a full cantilever, stressed skin structure, with

front and rear rnain spars as well as auxiliary spars. It is constructed as one
unit (through-spar), except for detachable leading edges, wing tips, flaps, and
ailerons. Cornpartrnents are provided in the leading edge sections and between
the spars for removable fuel cells. Removable stressed panels on the lower sur-
face give access to the cells aft of the leading edge. e

The front main spar, a t 2 . 0 1 oc h o r d , is swept back; the rear spar is

straight.

Lifting Lugs are located on both wing upper surfaces, alrnost directly
above tttJGiffilllar attachrnent points.

Two split type FIaps are rrrounted on piano type hinges, inboard of the
ailcrons. They are actuated by two electric motors which project through the
fuselage, one on each side. Each flap is connected to an operating push-pull
tube by four link rods.

The horizontal stabilizer is bolted to four fittings on the fuselage.

Access to these fittings is rnade possible either by rernoving the aft section and
engine tail pipe, or rernoving the stabrlizer fillets. The stabilizer tips are inter-
changeable.

General Description

The landing gear, cornprised of two main gear sections, and one nose
gear, is fully retractable and hydraulically operated. Each main gear retracts
inboard into the wing, while the nose gear retracts aft, into the nose wheel well.
Gear locks are provided for both positions, and when retracted, each section is
enclosed by flush doors.

( r) Main Gear
," '*-t.L
Each rnain gear consists of:

an air-oil shock strut assembly

a side strut assembly

hydraulic actuating cylinder
three fairing doors
up lock mechanism
wheel and brake assernbly
torque arrns

The rnain gear is firrnly supporied between wing rear and interrned-
iate spars, and two truss rrrernbers ensure rigid alignrnent. A lower side strut,
with a notched carn as part of the down lock, is attached to the shock strut. The
upper side strut provides a mounting for the rernainder of the down lock, consist-
iag of a crank arrn, push-pull rod, spring cartridge, and the latch block which fits
into the cam notch. A crank pin assembly releases the down lock by initial move-
ment of the hydrauli"
"E[ITltrftylinder.
The outer and centre doors are attached to the shock strut, and re-
tract with it, while the inner doors operate independently in sequence with the
gear. The inner door does not rnove on a retraction until the gear is almost
fully up. This action is due to a knee-link assembly forrning a geometric lock
until struck by a block on the cenTfriil Hydraulic pressure can now move
the door to the closed position.

\f,hen closing, a roller on the door contacts a trigger hook which pre-
vents the uplock hook frorn rotating to the engaged position. Now released, the
uplock hook engages around the roller on the door, forming a positive rnechanical
uplock for the rnain gear.

Initial hydraulic pressure releases the uplock hook when an extension

is eelected.

The nose gear is firmly supported at attachment points on the fuselage
bulkheads at stations 8l and 103. A drag strut assembly contains a down lock
rnechanisrn sirnilar to that on each rnain gear. Initial movernent of the actuating
cylinder piston releases the down lock on retraction.

The uplock consists of two rollers attached to the lower part, at the
rear of the strut, and two hooks operated by the uplock release cylinder.

The two nose gear doors, rrlounted on piano type hinges, are raised
and lowered rnechanically as a heart-shaped carn is contacted by the shock strut.
Two spring cartridges ensure positive open and closed positions of the doors.

General Description

The rnain gear wheels are each provided with a three-spot, twin-disc
brake assernbly, pow€red by pedal action in either cockpit. The following corrrPon-
ents are employed:

(") Two master brake cylinders with parking units.

(b) ,Cne brake system reservoir.

(") One brake assembly on each rnain wheel.

Components

(r) De scription

(") Master Brake Cylinder

The rnaster brake cylinders are rnounted in the nose section,

accessible t h r o u g h t h e h o o d d oors ' one on each side. Each cy-
linder is linked to a pedal in the front cockpit, although the
brake pedals in both cockpits are interconnected.
Contained in each cylinder is a spring-loaded piston assembly,
a poppet valve, a rnain return spring, a thermal expansion unit,
and a parking valve which is operated by a lever.

(b) Re servoir

The brake system reservoir, accessible from the left hood door,
consists of a cylindrical, rnetal container, with a fluid level sight
gauge on the front. Fluid used is red mineral base , 34A/ t 00.

(") Brake Assembly

The brake assembly consists of a cylinder housing, bolted to a

flange on the wheel axle, and two steel rotor discs keyed to each
wheel. Three piston units act against twelve brake lining pucks
and the two discs. A self -adjusting grip is incorporated in each
assernblY.

(2\ Operation

The brakes are applied by depressing the brake pedals, rnoving the pis-
ton rod, and plston valve assembly in the rnaster cylinder, which also closes the
poppet valve. Thie forces fluid into the brake lines and into the brake assembly
on each rnain wheel, squeezing the pucks and discs together.

The parking brakes are applied as follows:

(1) Depress pedals

(Z) Pull rrpark brakerr handle, either cockpit
(3) Release pedals
(4) Release handle.
P art 4
 This action causes fluid to be trapped under pressure, between thepark-
ing valve and thc brake assernbly.

To release parking brakes, depress the pedals to overcome the built-up

Pres sure.

(3) Servicing

Bleeding

Pressure bleeding is not recommended. Standard method of

bleeding, as outlined in EO 05-50C-2, is used.

(b) B rake Wear

Checking for brake lining puck wear is done by applying the

brakes and measuring frorn the brake assembly housing to
the first rotor disc - rnax. allowable clearance - one inch.

CAUT ION

Parking brakes are not to be applied when the brake assernbly is over-
heated, ie., immediately after landing. Allow a reasonable cool-off
period.

 SURFACE CONTROLS

General Description

The surface controls are conventional, with control column and rudder
pedals in each cockpit, connected to statically and dynarnically balanced ailerons,
elevators, and rudder.

The aileron system is provided with a hydraulic booster unit, while el-
evator control is assisted by spring-loaded servo tabs, trim tabs, and a bungee
spring.

Electrically operated, trim tabs for aileron and elevator are controlled
by a spring-loaded button on each control stick grip.

(l) Aileron Systern

Lateral movernent of the control stick rotates the upper aileron torque
tube,located under the cockpit floor. This action is transmitted to a differential
mechanislrlr mounted on the lower aileron torque tube. Movernent is t"arrsferred
6ffi"."t.r unit, which is bolted to the rear of the rear rnain wing spar, in the
lowe" patt of tttQtenurn charnber.

Attached to the drurn on the booster unit are the two I l4 in.7x19
cables, fitted with swaged ends. These cables extend out to a control drum in
each wing, where a push-pull rod cornpletes the linkage to the aileron.

Cable Tension

Ternperature is a governing factor in the tension of aileron cables:-

400 lbs. (plus or minus 25) at 70 deg. F.

For each degree below 70, decrease tension 2 lbs.
For each degree ffi ?0, I;;;G- tension Z lbs.

Diffe rential Me chanism

Produces a differential between the arnount of stick rnovement and

aileron rnovernent. With a constant rnovernent of the stick, there is a gradual
acceleration of the aileron movement from neutral to full travel either way.

Aileron Booster Unit

The aileron booster unit consists of the following:

(") Operating drurn

(b) Mechanical linkage
(") Hydraulic actuating cylinder
(d) By-pass valve
(.) Control valve
(f) Filter

The above cornponents are rnounted on a large triangular casting,

which is bolted to the rear main spar.

Aa"1//4
In operation, control stick movement is transferred to the booster unit,
and, through the mechanical linkage, a hydraulic selection is rnade at the control
valve. Fluid under Pressure is then delivered to one end of the actuating cylinder,
moving the drurn, and therefore, the ailerons, in the desired direction.

With aileron booster off, or if hydraulic pressure falls below 250 psi,
the spring-loaded by-pass valve opensn permitting fluid displacernent within the
cylinder.

Cornplete description of operation is contained in Eo 05-5 oC-2.

Aileron Tabs

The left aileron is equipped with an electrically controlled trirn tab,

while the only rneans of adjusting trim on the right aileron is a ground-set bend
tab.

(z) Elevator Systern

Fore and aft rnovement of the control stick is transrnitted frorn a push-
pull tube in the cockpit floor tunnel through a series of bellcranks and push-pu1
rods, to the elevator operating arrn on the control horn assembty. Initial stick
movement operates two spring-loaded servo tabs which are mounted at the in-
board end of the elevators. The deflection of these tabs automatically rnove the
elevators in the direction selected in the cockpit. A Iarge spring bungee also
assists in elevator control from the neutral position. Outboard of each spring tab
is an electrically operated trirn tab which provid.es a limited arnount of servo ac-
tion to elevator rrlovernent.

Spring Tab Mechanism

This mechanisrrr consists of two inner torque tubes (inside the elevator
torque tubes), a bellcrank and operating arm, and a spring cartrid.ge which com-
Presses on initial stick movernent, A stop yoke and stop nuts restrict tab travel.

Bungee Spring Assist

One end of this unit is attached to the aircraft structure while the oppo-
site end moves with the elevator control horn. When the elevators are in neutral
the spring is at full compression, and any movernent of the elevators from this
position will allow the spring to expand, thus tending to rnove the elevators in the

while the aircraft is on the ground, is cornpletely smoothed out when a foward speed
of 69 K. is reached.

T rirn T abs

Outboard of each spring tab there is an electrically operated trirn tab.

The motor which is mounted behind a heat shield on the right side of the fuselage
aft section, is controlled by the sarne button switch on the control stick used for
aileron trirn. Power frorn the rnotor is transrnitted through a flexible drive shaft
to affTrr drive mounted at the rear of the horizontal stabilizer. From here, two
flexible shafts are used to drive the screw-Jack assernblies which are connected
to the tabs

Elevator trirn indicator consists of a green light on each instrurnent

panel which is on when the tabs are in neutral.

Longitudinal Alternate T rirn,

An alternate elevator trim switch is located on the left console of each

cockpit, to be used whenrrrunawayrr elevator trirn is experienced. This condition
is due to a short circuit in the systerrl, causing the trirn rnotor to travel the full
distance one way or the other.

The switch is operated by rnoving it frorn the ttOFFtt position which ren-
ders the entire wiring through the control column (including aileron trirn) inopera-
tive. With the switch in this position, it is used to trim the elevators by moving
the toggle back or forth as required,

Control stops for the elevators are located at the control horn assern-
bly . a u x i l G ry s ffi l a re fi tte d to the base of the forw ard control sti ck, and
should have a clearance of IlL6 in. with full elevator travel.

The rudder controls consist of two sets of pedals suspended by hangers

from torque tubes, and connected to the rudder control horn assembly by 3/16 in.
?xl9 cables, tensioned to 90 lbs. (Refer to chart in EO 05-50C-Z'). Pressure seal,s
are used where the cables pass through pressure bulkheads, and two quick-
disconnect fittings on the cables at the plenum area allow quick removal of the
fuselage aft section.
Left-to-right synchronization of the rudder pedals is accomplished by
the use of a I'walking beamrrinstalled between the forward pedals.

Front-to-rear synchronization is rnade possible by direct linkage frorn

the rear pedals to a large quadrant, or pulley on each side, ahead ofthe rear
pedals. These quadrants are actuated when the forward pedals are rnoved, as the
control cables are fastened to them by swaged lock wedges.

(4) \lfing FIap Systern

Two split type flaps are rnounted on piano hinges under the trailing edge
surface of the wing, one on each side, extending frorn the fuselage to the ailerons.
An electric actuator is connected to each flap through a torque tube supported by
rollers, and four link rods which rrrove the flaps up and down as the torque tube is
pushed in or out by the rnotors.

The two electric actuators are interconnected by flexible shafts through

an rrHrr drive assembly, which serves the dual purpose of synchronizing flap rnove-

Maxirnurn up and down travel of the flaps is governed by lhe lirnit

switches, rrrounted to the rrHrr drive assernbly which is located in the bottorn of the
plenum charnber, on the centre line.

Flap selections can be rnade frorn either cockpit by rnoving a lever

rnounted outboard of the throttle. These selector levers are connected to a carn
shaft which operate the two rnicro switches for up and down flap rnovernent.

Any misalignment in the trailing edge of the flaps is probably due to

incorrect length of one or more link rods. When adjusting the link rods, ensure
that the inner rod on each flap does not exceed 9 Il4 in.

'
Wing flap extension is 45 deg., indicated by the flap position indicator
on each instrurnent panel. The position of the flaps is electrically transrnitted

(5) Dive Flaps

The two dive flaps,located forward of the main landing gear doors, one
on each side of the aircraft centre line, are hydraulically operated but electrically
controlled.

Selections are rnade with a sliding switch on either throttle lever. These
switches are wired in series, so that either one rnay be used to lower the dive
flaps but both rnust be selected rrUPrr to retract thern.

The selector valve-and-rnotor (one unit) is rnounted on the keelson

structure between the dive flaps. Frorn this unit, hydraulic pressure is admitted
into the two actuating cylinders to operate the dive flaps.

'
Wh.n extend.ing dive flaps, the forward end is pulled. to the rear in a
roller and track assembly by the piston end of the actuator, At the sarrre time, the
cylinder portion of the actuator rrroves forward on the piston, exerting a pull on its
attachrnent which then drives the trailing edge of the flap down by the radius strut
attached about one third of the distance back from the forward end of the flap.

The actuating piston is attached to the dive flap by a quick-disconnect

pin, and the security of these pins must be checked constantly.

Each dive flap incorporates a srnall spring-loaded door to relieve sorne

of the structural stress irnposed on the flap when lowered at high speeds.

A manual shut-off valve,located forward of the selector valve, access-

ib1ethroughthel"ft@8,isusedaSasafetyfeaturewhenchecking
corrrponents in this area. It must always be left in the "flightrrposition and lock-
wired af.ter servicing is cornpleted.

CAUT ION

Before entering the dive flap cornpartrnent, or returning the shut-off

valve to flight position, ensure:

(i) There is no hydraulic pressure on the systern.

(ii) There is a t'DOWN" selection on the switches.

The only position indicator for dive flaps is an arnber light on each in-
strument panel which corrres on with a trDOWN|r selection.

Dive flap extension is 23 llZ in., at the trailing edge.

 AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM

Gene ral

Aircraft fuel is contained both by internal tanks and external tanks.

The internal tanks consist of the following:

Leading edge group - three cells each wing.

Inboard wing group - two cells each wing.
Fuselage tank - one cell in fuselage.

The external tanks, one rnounted on each wing tip, are structural alumi -
nurn alloy tanks, designed for specified flight conditions.

'iotal
capacity of the fuel system i s 617 I-p. gal., contained in the l3
tanks as outlined.

Description and Operation

The fuel is delivered to the engine from the fuselage tank, under norrnal
operating conditions.. Each group of tanks is provided with a separate supply rnani-
fold connected to the fuselage tank. Three float valves control the sequence of de-
Iivery from the various groups to the fuselage tan<, with all switches on, as foll-
ows:

T ip tanks
Leading edge group
Inboard wing group

Fuel Cells

Leading Edge Group

The leading edge group consists of three interconnected cells, one in

the leading edge of the wing and two aft of the front spar. A fuel booster purnp is
rnounted externally at the inboard end of each leading edge cel1. The purnps supply
fuel through check valves, to the fuselage tank. The leading edge groups are re-
fuelled through the outboard filler caps. Capacity of each leading edge group is 43
gal., or, a total of 86 gal.

Inboard Wing Group

The inboard wing group consists of two interconnected cells, one for-
ward and one aft of the rear spar. A booster purnp, rnounted in the aft cell, deli-

Wing Tip Tanks

Two jettisonable fuel tanks are rnounted on the wing centre line, one on
each tip. They are internally braced, and have a horizontal fin at.the aft end. A
spring-loaded ejector rnechanisrn is provided to ensure positive release. An air
and fuel quick disconnect is fitted to each wing tip. The fuel and air lines at the
tank contain spring-loaded shut-off valves, and are in the closed position without
tip tanks installed.

Fuel frorn is transferred

the tip tanks by air pressure supplied by the
engine compressor. T i p t a n k p r e s s u r e i s c o n t r o l l e d a u t o m a t i c a l ly by two air

Components

(r) Fuel Booster Purnps

Four purnps are employed in the wing fuel cells. They are centrifugal
pumps driven by D.C. motors with a delivery pressure of. IZ - 15 psi. The purnps
are controlled by switches on the left console of the front cockpit.

A fuel booster pump in the fuselage tank, sirnilar to the wing group
pumps, incorporates a de-aerator to reduce possibility of vapor locks in the en-
gine fuel systern. This purnp is controlled by a switch on the left console of each
cockpit, with an arnber light indicating an rroNrf selection.

(z) FueI Control Valves

De s c ription

Each of the three valves consists of a cork float, a rubber diaphragrrr, a

pilot valve, a ball check valve, and a main feed valve. They are mounted
at slightly different levels as follows:

T ip tank - top
Leading edge - interrnediate
Inboard - lowest

Operation

(") Closed Position. With a high float level, the pilot valve is closed

 and the ball check valve open, allowing fuel from the appropriate
tank group to enter a diaphragrn charnber through bleed holes in
the rnain valve stern. The pilot valve seals off the diaphragrn
charnber. Fuel, at transfer pressure in this charnber, acts on the
underside of the diaphragrn and holds the rnain valve closed.

(3) Check Valves

Check valves are employed in the fuel systern to maintain correct direc-
tion of flow.

(4) Shut -off Valve

A rnotorized shut-off valve is installed between the fuel filter and the
fuselage tank, controlled by a switch on the left console of each cockpit.

Purposes

(") Fuel systern rnaintenance.

(b) Avoid danger of fire in the plenurn charnber.

Precaution

Ensure both switches are rroNrr before starting engine.

( 5) Fuel Filter

A rnicronic filter with a relief valve set at.3 psi, Diff. Pres. is loc_?ted
in the right wheel well. The line to the engine-driven pumps is equipped with a
quick disconnect fitting. The filter element may be replaced without removing
the filter bowl. The filter dome is vented to the fuselage tank.

FueI Tank Vent Systern

llhe venting of the wing groups is accomplished by two vent lines conn-
ected to the fuselage tank, which is vented. to atrnosphere by a line and vent rnast
at the rear of the fuselage, on the right side. A syphon breaker is connected to
the rnain vent line in the plenurn charnber.

FueI Quantity Indicators

(") Fuselage Tank Contents Gauge - located centrally on the sub-

instrument panel in each cockpit.

(b) Fuel Remaining Indicator - located on each instrument panel,

actuated by a flowrneter mounted on the engine, indicates total
aircraft fuel load, In operation, the fuel consurned is subtrac-
ted frorn the original setting to indicate total fuel rernaining.

in cooling the pressurized air. The cooling air is then discharged back to atrnos-
phere, as the fan remains in motion.

From the turbine, the pressurized air is suddenly expanded into a large
air duct and directed to the air rnixing charnber.

The two bearings on the turbine shaft are tension-loaded by a spring in

the shaft $using and bearing support. Lubrication is accomplished by capillary
action - if;e round wicks extend frorn the shaft housing, where the ends touch the
shaft, down into the oil sump which contains 160 ccts of a plasticized oil.

The oil, drawn up to the shaft by the wicks, is picked off the ends of the
wicks as the shaft rotates and broken down into a fine rnist by slingers on the
shaft. Oil is prevented frorn escaping into the air chambers by labyrinth seals
(rnated grooves) on the shaft. Drilted passages in the bearing support allow the
oil to return to the sulrrp.

NOTE

Before installing an overhauled turbine and fan assernbly, ensure that it

is pre-Iubricated with the correct type of oil.

(z') Cockpit Pre s surization

The Cabin Pressure Regulator, mounted on the cockpit floor to the rear
andrightortneontro1spressurization.Theoutf1ow
valve on this unit, when moved off its seat by pressure, allows cockpit air to es-
cape to atrnosphere when necessary during any of the three ranges of pressuriza-
tion.

Pressurization ranges are as follows:

(") Unpre ssurized Range

Sea level to 8,000 ft. no pressurization necessary, and the re -

gulator allows complete escape of cockpit pressure.

(b) Isobaric Range

8,000 ft. to 15,300 ft. - the Isobaric needle valve controlled by

an evacuated bellows, allows cockpit pressure to build up so
that through this entire range, cockpit pressure is equal to that
at 8,000 ft.

(") Differential Range

15,300 ft. to maximum ceiling. At 15,300 ft. the Isobaric

needle has reached its full closed position, and the difference
between cockpit pressure and ambient atrnospheric pressure
is 2.'15 psi. Now, as the aircraft continues to clirnb, the diff-
erential bellows and needle ensure a constant differential of
2.7s.psi b e t w e e n c o c k p i t a n d a m b i e n t a i r . T h e r e f o r e , a s a t-

Cockpit Pressure-Vacuurn Relief and Dump Valve

This triple-purpose unit is located on the floor of the forward cockpit,

ahead of the control colurnrr, between the rudder pedals. The operation is out-
lined as follows:

(") Pressure Relief

When cockpit pressure increases to 3.5 psi, due to rnalfunction-

ing of the regulator, the pressure relief valve opens, allowing
the excess pressure to escape into the hydraulic area under the
cockpit fl.eor and out to atrnosphere.

(b) Vacuurn Relief

When atrnospheric pressure slightly exceeds cabin pressure,

this valve again opens autornatically to relieve the vacuum
created in the cockpit.

(") Durnp Valve

A rnanual lever attached to this unit, adjacent to the pilotrs left

foot (front only) is used to dump out stale air, or air contarnin-
ated by srnoke or fumes. As long as therrdurnpil valve is held
open, air will escape fron.r the cockpit.

When cabin air is durr:ped, fresh outside air is obtained through

the cold air nozzles, one at the left of each instrurnent panel.
This air is directed to the cockpits from an opening Iocated in
the left rnain air intake.

(3) Windshield Defrost

Norrnally, the windshield is defrosted by a perforated tube around the

inside of the shield, controlled by a rnanually operated shut-off valve just behind
the windscreen.

Air auxiliary defroster, consisting of an electrical unit and a diffuser

at the windshield, is provided for use when the normal defroster fails to operate

FartT -3
 satisfactorily. The electrical unit, a motor, fan, and heating element, is located
forward of the front instrument panel, and controlled by the forernost switch on the
front right console.

(4) Anti-G Suit Valves

An anti-G valve which includes a two-position selector, trHIrr andrrLO",

is installed on the left side of each cockpit at floor level.

Air corning frorn the rnain pressure line is rnetered to the pilotts suit
d u r i n g p o s i t i v e r r G r rf o r c e s .

The valve begins to open at I.75 G load, adrnitting some air pressure
to the pneumatic suit.

( 5) T ip Tank Pre s surization

The air directed to the two tip tanks for fuel flowr passes through sever-
al cornponents before reaching the tanks, the first of these being the Air Shut-off
Valve. This valve is spring-loaded to the open position, and closes by the action of

(ii) Engine Driven Pump

The power supply of the hydraulic systern is a I'piston

case on the forward part of the engine.

Nine pistons within the pump, driven back and forth by a

rotating wedge -shaped cam, pick up fluid frorn the inlet
chamber and force it through one-way check valves to the
pressure outlet port to the systern.

l[hen system pressure reaches 10?5 !]|psi, the inlet port

closes except for a small openiffi p-eFmit entry of

 (i") Systern Accumulator

The accurnulator consists of a spherical metal shell, con-

taining a synthetic rubber bladder, and fitted with an air
charging valve and a pressure gauge.

The unit is rnounted on a bracket in the lower left side of

the plenurn charnber, and is charged with an initial air
pressure of 500 psi.

As hydraulic fluid is adrnitted through the port at the top

of the accumulator, the bladder is forced toward the bott-
orn, corrrpressing the air to a value equal to main system
pressure. On a sudden dernand in the systern, the fluid is
forced out of the accurnulator by the air pressure, and is
irnrnediately delivered to the component being operated.

(") Pressure Gauges

A hydraulic pressure gauge, with a restrictorrrsnubbertf

valve, is located on each instrurnent panel.

Operation of Sub -systerns

(") Aileron Booster

The hydraulic portion of the aileron booster consists of the

following cornponents :

(i) Pressure Filter.

(ii) Control Valve.

( iii) Actuating Cylinder.

(i") By-pass Valve.

The aileron booster is selected rrONrr frorn the two rnanual shut-
off valves in the cockpits. Systern pressure is used to operate
the booster, and if the pressure drops below 250 psi the by-pass
valve automatically opens. This means that the booster no longer

CAUT ION

To avoid darnage to landing lights or'to the case ejection door

when testing, ensure that the nose gear is in line with the air-
c raf t fuselage.

(d) Landing Gear

The landing gear systern consists of the folrowing components:

One Selector Valve (Two control handles)

T w o M a i n G e a r Actuating Cylinders

Two Inner Door Actuating Cylinders

O n e N o s e G e a r Actuating Cylinder

One Nose Gear Up-lock Release Cylinder

Three Manual Shut-off Valves (one for each gear)

Three Landing Gear Restrictors

Two Restrictor Check Valves PartS -3

 \
The selector valve, a four-port valve, is located on the left side of the
front cockpit. Selections are rnade frorn either cockpit by interconnected levers.

A spring-loaded button on the selector lever rnust be depressed for an

rru'Prr or rrDOWNrr selection.

A spring-solenoid operated safety latch is incorporated on the selector

Ievers to prevent inadvertent truPrr selections. This latch is controlled by a micro
switch above the upper torque arrn on the left rnain gear. When the shock-strut is
extended (aircraft airborne) the latch is released. A manual release lever near
the latch is provided in case of electrical failure.

Main Gear Actuating Cylinders

These units consist of a cylinder barrel and an adjustable piston assern-

bly. Access is through the wheel well.

Inner Door Cylinders

The two inner door cylinders are used to actuate the up-lock assemblies
as well as the inner doors. Each one is attached to the door and to the lock mech-
anisrn through sealed anti-friction bearings.

Nose Gear Actuating Cylinder

This cylinder is similar to those on the rnain gears. The piston rod is
adjustable in length to perrnit the correct engagernent of the down-lock assembly.

Nose Gear Up-lock Release Cylinder

Two pistons are contained in this cylinder; the lower one operated by
normal system pressure, and the upper one by ernergency pressure. An internal
epring holds the up-lock assembly in the locked position, and hydraulic pressure
is admitted to release the lock.

Manual Shut-off Valves

Each wheel well contains a rnanual shut-off valve for the purpose of
isolating that particular gear frorn the rest of the hydraulic system. These are
norrnally lock-wired in the open position.

Landing Gear Restrictors

Three restrictor valves, installed in therrUPrrlines to the nose gear

and to each inner door, regulate fluid flow as well as preventing these cornpon-
ents from moving too rapidly. These valves are located in their respective wheel
wells.

R e s tri c to r C h e c k V a l ves

These are check valves with a small hole drilled through the poppet,
and installed in the rruPrt line to each main gear cylinder. They serve the dual

PartS -4
purpose of preventing the gear from dropping too rapidly, and providing a hydraulic
delay in the extension of the gear, allowing the up-lock to release first.

Ope ration

When the norrnal systern fails to lower the landing gear, whether due to
a hydraulic failure or a rnechanical failure , the errrergency systern is ernployed as
f ollows:

First, the norrnal gear selector Iever rnust be positioned torrDOWN|r.

Then the "barber polerr ernergency selector lever, in either cockpit on the right
side, is rnoved forward to ITEMERGENCY'i. Next the emergency purnp switch, on
the right side of either cockpit, alsorrbarber polerr striped, is turned rrONrr. This
operates an electrically driven gear type pump, rnounted in the right side of the
nose wheel well. Hydraulic fluid is drawn frorn the ernergency reservoir, which
is to the right of the front cockpit, and delivered under pressure through the
emergency selector valve to the landing gear systern.

Three shuttle valves, one for each.gear actuating cylinder, are used to
perrnit ernergency systern fluid to enter these cornponents as pressure rrroves the
shuttle frorn its normal position.

Two up -lock release cylinders , located adjacent to the uplock hook

assemblies on the inner doors, are only used in an emergency selection. The
piston which extends to release the lock is returned to its norrnal position
on the next retraction.

The inner doors are not lowered hydraulically during an ernergency

sele ction.

PartS -5
 The emergency system relief valve,located under the right console in
the front cockpit, is set to relieve pressures in excess of l*25 psi. / 9.2 {9 S t-

Ground Test Selector Valve

Located behind a panel at the rear of the right console, this valve Pro-
vides a means of ground testing the norrnal sub-systerns, using the norrnal fluid
supply and delivery lines, and the ernergency PurnP for pressure.

In the |'FLIGHTTT position, the ernergency purnp line is connected to the

landing gear emergency systern.

In the IIGROUND TESTrrposition, the emergency purnp is connected in-

to the norrnal system.

 CANOPY AND SEATS

(r) Canopy

The 'rclarnshell'r plastic canopy is norrnally opened and closed electri-

cally or manually, frorn the following controls:

(u) Electrically - three sets of switches:

(i) Triro external switches, und,er a panel on the right side of

the fuselage - one for rrOPEN", the other t'PART CLOSEII
and I'FULL CLOSET'.

( ii) Two switches on the right side in each cockpit, identified

and operated the sarne as the external switches.

(b) Manually - two hand cranks:

(i) One hand crank under the sarne panel as the external
switche s.

(ii) One hand crank on the lower right side, front cockpit.

Up -lock Pin

A solenoid operated up-Iock pin on the canopy track assernbly is with-

drawn autornatically with electrical selections, but rnust be rnanually released
when hand-cranking to or frorn open position.
,l .t , 'l ' &u^(
C AU T ION , Jt*t''
l,r" ,!-
Do not use external source of powe"/wn"n operating canopy from exter-
nal switches, as aircraft batteries may be damaged.

Canopy Actuator

The electric actuator is rnounted to a vertical track assernbly to the

rear of the front seat. Attached
ets. T wo chain drive s , actuated
bly which rnove s up and down in
ferred to the canopy through the
end to the fork, and at the upper
to the rnotor is a gear box and two drive sprock-
by the sprockets, are attached to a fork assern-
the track assernbly. This rnoverrrent is trans-
catapult rernover, which is attached at its lower
end to the canopy yoke structure.

Proper chain tension is maintained by adjustable idler sprockets

attached to the actuator unit.

Canopy Latches

The canopy is locked and unlocked by means of the "lock handletf at the
forward upper right side of either cockpit. Operation of the handles with the can-
opy fully down causes eight latch hooks, four in each cockpit sill, to engage with
corresponding roller brackets on the canopy base.

Part9-l
 Canopy Hinge s

The two hinges at the rear of the canopy are fitted with eccentric hinge /
pins to permit lateral adjustment of the canopy to the rear of the windscreen. A
second hinge point is provided on each hinge which, in conjunction with a spring
bungee and a spring-loaded plunger, allows the forward latch hooks to engage dur-
ing cold weather. The hinges are designed to break when the canopy is jettisoned. I

Cano_py Seal

The canopy seal consists of an inflatable rubber tube secured to the

bottorn face and forward end of the canopy. It inflates automatically when the can-
opy is down and locked, and the engine runn-ing.

A ground test connection for the canopy seal is located on the right side
of the aircraft, under the sarrre panel containing the|tErnergency Canopy Jettison
Handle'r.

Lirnit Switche s

Lirnit switches are provided to stop the canopy actuator in each of the
three positionst TTOPEN'|, TTPART CLOSETT,TTFULL CLOSETT.

Warning L.ight

A red warning light on each instrument panel is on (with power turned

ilONt') until the canopy is locked.

Micro Switche s

Two rnicro switches, adjacent to the forward left latch hook, are actua-
ted with rnovernent of the lock handle, to do the following:

(i) Forward switch - operates canopy seal shut-off valve, and can-
opy warning light.

(ii) Rear switch - cuts out circuit to canopy rnotor, as a safety,

when canopy is locked down.

Operating'Time

Full Close to Full Open - 6 sec.

Full Open to Part Close 4 - 5 sec.

Part Close to FuIl Close - z'J"..

Canopy Jettison Systern

The canopy rerrrover citapult, normally used as a lever to raise and

lower the canopy, is equipped with an explosive cartridge to jettison the canopy
in an ernergency. Sorne of the earlier rnodels of the T33 are still fitted with the
ttSEARtttype of catapult, while the later rnodels and those modified, use the

"GAS INITIATORTT type. These two types of catapult are operated as follows:

Part9 -Z
 (") Sear Type - involves the rernoval of a sear safety pin, and the ro-
tation of the sear arrn to release a firing pin within the catapult.
A ground safety pin is inserted through the top of the catapult
when the aircraft is on the ground.

(b) Gas Initiator Type - A T4 g^s cartridge is fired, directing a flow

@asintotheheadofthecatapult,firingthein-
ternal cartridge. A ground safety pin is inserted through the gas
initiator firing rnechanisrn.

CA UT ION

Extrerrre care rnust be taken when clirnbing in and out of aircraft

fitted with the gas initiator catapult, as the firing lever, arrbar-
ber pole" ptojecting below the right side of the canopy rnay be
inadvertently rnoved. Always ensure that the ground safety pin
is in place.

Witheithertype of canopy catapult, the jettison procedure is nortnally

the sarne:

(i) Frorn either cockpit by rneans of the JETTISON HANDLE

(all yellow, or yellow and black stripes) located on the
upper right side, to the rear of the canopy lock handle.
The jettison handles are linked to the canopy latch rnech-
anisrn so that the latch hooks are released during the jett-
ison procedure.

(ii) By rneans of the EXTERNAL EMERGENCY JETTISON

handle, under a panel opposite the rear cockpit. This
handle and cable are connected to the jettison rnechanisrn
in the cockpit. This handle is used to jettison the canopy
frorn a crashed aircraft.

(z) Seats

Each cockpit is equipped with an ejection seat, fired by individual cat-

apults.

Norrnal Operation

The seats are norrnally held in place by their attachrnent to the cata-
pu1ts. The catapult in turn, is also attached to the airfrarne structure.

An up and down adjustrnent of approxirnately 4llz in. is possible by an

electric rnotor rnounted behind the head rest, controlled by a toggle switch at the
lower right side of the seat.

Standard type of shoulder and seat harness is fitted to each seat, the
shoulder harness being attached to an inertia ratchet reel at the rear of the seat.
This reel is used to lock the shoulder harness as follows:

(i) Manually - control lever, lower left each seat.

Part9-3
 (ii) Automatically - when the aircraft is subjected to a deceler-
ation of. 2 UZ G. or more. (crash landing)

(iii) Ejection Sequence - raising left arrn re st.

A quick-disconnect fitting on the left sid.e at floor level, separates the

oxygen and anti-G suit leads during ejection.

The two arm rests on each seat are used only during ejection,
- and rnust
be lockwired in the down position.

Emergency procedure

The seat catapult, used to eject the seat, consists of

three telescoping
barrels, an explosive cartridge, a sear and sear safety
p i n , and a ground safety
pin through the top of each catapult.

The sear safety pins are automatically withdrawn when the canopy is
jettisoned.As the canoPy breaks away, it trips two levers at the back
of the rear
seat' These levers are attached to the sear safety pins
on both catapults, thus
arming the catapults.

To fire the catapult for ejection, the right arrn rest is raised
exposing
a trigger, which is squeezed. A bowden cable attaches the trigger
to the sear.

Immediately prior to ejection, correct positioning in the seat is very

important:

(") Sit erect, head back, chin tucked in.

(b) Heels placed on heel rests, knees together.

(") Arms on arm rests, and held close to the body.

Due to the extrerne forward pressure of air in the rear cockpit after
