My Questions

• What kind of engines?
  • AlliedSignal TFE-731-20 turbofan engines.
  • Each engine is rated at 3500 lb thrust at sea level.
• What kind of APU?
  • Allied Signal Model RE100 [LJ] APU
• Where does APU fuel come from?
  • Fuel for the APU flows from the right wing fuel tank through the right standby pump, a shutoff valve, and a fuel filter prior to reaching the engine.
• How much fuel does the APU use?
  • The APU uses approximately 150 lb of fuel per hour.
• How many batteries are there?
  • Two main batteries one emergency battery
• What is the AC electrical system used for?
  • The AC power generation system provides AC electrical power to the aircraft for windshield heating.
• What provides AC power?
  • AC electrical power is provided by two engine-driven alternators.
• What provides DC power?
  • Primary aircraft DC electrical power is provided by two engine-driven starter/generators.
• How many volts do the generators supply?
  • During normal operation, these generators supply 28 VDC power to the electrical system.
  • The starter/generators turn the engines for starting and then supply 28-VDC power to the aircraft when the engines are at operating speed.
  • Each starter/generator is rated at 30 VDC and 400 amp in a speed range of 6800 through 12,000 rpm.
