METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR COMPONENTS OF AN AIRCRAFT LANDING SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and Apparatus to monitor components of an aircraft landing system are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining an initial temperature of at least one of a wheel or a fuse plug based on a temperature value to be provided by a first temperature sensor; estimating a temperature of a brake assembly based on a temperature value provided by a second temperature sensor; after determining the initial temperature, estimating a subsequent temperature of the at least one of the wheel or the fuse plug; and determining if the subsequent temperature is a peak temperature.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a temperature monitoring unit to be communicatively coupled to a first temperature sensor of at least one of a wheel or a fuse plug coupled to the wheel, and a second temperature sensor of a brake assembly operatively coupled to the wheel, the temperature monitoring unit including:
an initial temperature determiner to determine an initial temperature of at least one of the wheel or the fuse plug based on a temperature value to be provided by the first temperature sensor;a brake energy estimator to estimate a temperature of the brake assembly based on a temperature value provided by the second temperature sensor;a subsequent temperature estimator to estimate a subsequent temperature of at least one of the wheel or the fuse plug, the subsequent temperature to be determined after the determination of the initial temperature; anda peak temperature estimator to determine if the subsequent temperature is a peak temperature of the at least one of the wheel or the fuse plug.
