Most of the Electronic and Control system is located in a compartment adjacent to the radar equipment. Accessibility of the radar for checking in the airplane is not too good. A ladder is required for access to all components, unless the entire nose package is removed. This limits the use of test equipment and makes minor adjustments difficult. The entire collection of rack-mounted components may be removed in a detachable nose section along with the radar antenna and associated equipment for complete replacement or for major service.
Fuel is contained in five pressurized fuel cells.
No self-sealing or armor is proposed for the fuel system. The electrical system includes a 24-28 volt DC system and a three phase 4 wire 208 volt 400 cycle AC system. The electrical power source proposed will require the development of an alternator, constant speed drive and an air turbine. In excess of 40,000 lbs. Approximately 80,000 ft.
