Abstract
This presentation first describes the development and application of aircraft hydraulic
systems with emphasis on the basic structure of hydraulic systems, a typical hydraulic
system in the Boeing family of aircraft, and a typical hydraulic system in the Airbus
family of aircraft. Then, basic parameters of aircraft hydraulic systems, including
hydraulic fluid, hydraulic pressure, fluid temperature, fluid flow rate, hydraulic pipes,
and pressure pulsation, are provided. Afterward, the main components of aircraft
hydraulic systems are introduced, including aircraft hydraulic pumps (engine-driven
pump and AC motor-driven pump), power transfer units, priority valves, control
valves, check valves, hydraulic accumulators, hydraulic filters, hydraulic reservoirs,
fluid cooling systems, hydraulic actuators, and redundant hydraulic actuators. Finally,
the proof test of an aircraft hydraulic system is presented and discussed, with special
attention to the hydraulic system testing process.

INTRODUCTION
Hydraulics is based on the fact that liquids are incompressible
Hydraulic system is a system where liquid under pressure is used to
transmit energy
In it a hydraulic pump converts mechanical power to hydraulic power
An actuating cylinder converts hydraulic power to mechanical power.
A SIMPLE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
DEVICES USING HYDRAULIC
SYSTEMS IN AIRCRAFTS
Gun turrets
Auto pilot
Shock absorption systems
Dive, landing, speed and flap brakes
Bomb bay doors
Doors and hatchways
Landing gears, wing flaps, etc…
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
PRINCIPLE
Gas valve lets in
compressed gas at ½
system pressure
Diaphragm pops up &
oil is sent through
system
When system
pressure>accumulator
pressure, diaphragm
deploys
ACCUMULATORS
USES
Absorbs the shocks due to rapid pressure
variations in a hydraulic system
Helps maintain a constant pressure within the
hydraulic system
Helps the hydraulic pump under peak
pressure loads
It is an emergency source of power
Spherical shape is preferred for accumulators
POWER PUMPS
FUNCTION
Is to change mechanical horsepower to
hydraulic horsepower
TYPES
Gear pumps: move fluid based upon the
number of gear teeth and the volume
spacing between gear teeth.
Piston pumps: move fluid by pushing it
through the motion of the pistons within
the pump
POWER PUMPS
PRINCIPLES OF GEAR
PUMPS
The liquid from the
reservoir is pushed between
the gear teeth.
The oil is moved around to
the other side by the action
of the drive gear itself and
sent through the pressure
line.
POWER PUMPS
PRINCIPLES OF
RECIPROCATING
PISTON PUMP
As the cylinder block
rotates, space between
the block and the
pistons increase, letting
in more oil.
As the block rotates
from bottom dead
center, the reverse
occurs and the pistons
push oil out through
the outlet
