What do you do when the electrical system fails? I found this article on the Airbus 320, which has an all glass cockpit: "The energy supply is backed up in several ways. Along with one generator per engine, a third generator is powered by the APU. A fourth power supply is available by extending a little fan generator into the airstream. The chances of experiencing a complete power loss in an A320 are calculated to be at around one in one trillion. Should this happen, the above mentioned mechanical system of the rudder and the elevator trim ensure a safe landing." http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRhe...09/FR9709a.htm |
