Patent ID: 8485051

Claim:
Apparatus for testing an aircraft pedal system, which comprises: a pedal actuation device for actuating an aircraft pedal, a force sensor for sensing an actuation force applied to the aircraft pedal upon actuation of the aircraft pedal and for providing a signal indicative of the actuation force, a first deflection sensing device for sensing an angular deflection of a component of an aircraft brake system which is deflected in response to the actuation of the aircraft pedal, a second deflection sensing device for sensing an angular deflection of a component of an aircraft rudder system which is deflected in response to the actuation of the aircraft pedal, and a control unit adapted to process the signals of the force sensor and the deflection sensing devices so as to generate an output indicating the angular deflection of the components of the aircraft brake system and the aircraft rudder system which are deflected in response to the actuation of the aircraft pedal in dependence on the actuation force applied to the aircraft pedal.
