Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to
assist the user (aircraft manufacturer/airline) in the following
areas:
a. In the decision of whether or not to plan for the
installation of a powered drive system in the cargo loading system
(CLS) during the definition of the aircraft on-board cargo loading
system.
b. If a powered drive system is decided upon, to provide general
requirements to be considered during the preparation of component
specifications for the powered drive units (PDUs) to be used. This
provides a selection of criteria in order to obtain an optimum PDU
for the application considered.
