The ACMS monitors and controls the operation of the engine and its systems in all modes. Automatic control extends the life of the engine’s hot area and helps run the engine in a mode that corresponds to its state. It is a powerful means of adapting engine control to changing ambient conditions and various failures.

Main requirements:

• reliability
• trouble-free operation
• long service life
• high accuracy of monitoring
• precision of control

Our experience: BARK-42 is installed on the modified RD-33 engine to replace as many as 4 devices while performing significantly more functions and reducing the weight of the power plant (the unit is relatively lightweight and needs shorter cables).  Its generous independent memory stores flight data for the ex-post monitoring and diagnostics of the power plant.

Further improvements: To switch the unit to the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronics Control) system.
