TORSION WING BOX TANK AIR CONDITIONING AND HYDRAULIC BAY ( 69 Pneumatically inflatable leading edge anti-icing boots Rudder and elevator pilot's input control push-pull rods (stick pusher on elevator control) Two-spar built-up one-piece cany through wing torsion box Machined front, and rear spars and ribs Integrally stiffened machined upper andlower skin panels (tapered from root to tip) Wing/fuselage multi-attachment fittings Machined lower segment fittings, spliced on to rolled upper main fuselage/spar frames High efficiency Sigma 2 aerofoil section Wing tank inspection panels (total fuel capacity 460 Imp gal) Centre wing torsion box tank (incorporating two collector tanks, booster, and standby pumps) capacity 137 Imp gal Fuel vent line of drain (fully jettisonable fuel system) Wing vent tank (incorporating NACA vent inlet) Flexible drive to outboard leading-edge stat (electrically actuated) Slat ball and screw actuator (total three) Slat guide rails and rollers (total six) Guide rail "cans" 73 Inflatable leading-edge anti-icing boots 74 Inboard and outboard trailing-edge flaps (hydraulically actuated) 75 Flap panel connecting linkage 76 Torque drive shafts 77 Screwjacks (total three) 78 Guide rails and rollers (enclosed in glassfibre fairings) 79 Liftdumper(hydraulicallyactuated) 80 Speed brake (hydraulicaly actuated) 81 Aileron push-pull rods 82 Autopilot and interconnecting bellcrank linkage (feel unit on right side) 83 Push-pull rods from cockpit run under floor 84 Linear bearings 85 Aileron hydraulic servo actuator (-15* +15") 86 Kevlar and honeycomb© reinforced glassfibre aileron 67 Kevlar detachable wingtips and wing/ fuselage fairing 68 Main undercarriage trunnion 89 Air/oil shock absorbing strut 90 Undercarriage retracting jack (hydraulic) 91 Two 23in X 7in mainwheels, incorporating anti-skid multi-disc brakes 92 Fuselage undercarriage doors pre-open and close via interconnecting linkage 93 AirResearchTFE731-3B-100G turbofan engine, 3,6S0lb take-off thrust. Each engine is supplied by an independent crossoverfuel system 94 Thermally anti-iced engine air intake and duct 65 Engine ignition unit 98 Engine accessory, gearbox (300A 28V starter generator oft each) 97 Engine fan casing 96 High and low pressure turbine case 99 Engine exhaust cone 100 Thrust reverser unit 101 Upper and lower reverse thrust doors (hydraulicaly actuated) 102 Kevlar reinforced engine nacelle doors and panels 103 Fresh-air ram duct 104 Air duct to cold air unit and air cycle compressor 105 Engine bleed hot-air duct 106 Bleed switching valve 107 Distribution ducts to cabin and flightdeck 106 Overboard duct from CAU 109 Fire extinguisher bottles (one per engine) 110 Hydraulic reservoir (S.OOOIb/in2) two engine-driven pumps, single electrically driven standby pump 111 VHF aerial 112 D/F loop aerial 113 Wing ice inspection light 114 External emergency light 115 Landing lamp (both sides) 116 Taxi light (inboard of undercarriage door, both sides) 117 Navigation and strobe lights 118 Upper rotating beacon 119 VOR aerial (both sides) 120 Rear position tight (white) 121 Tail tie-down point 122 Static discharge wicks Astra's smooth lines are evident in this exclusive Fiight drawing. The high-aspect-ratio wing is constructed almost entirely from machined components with added leading and trailing-edge devices fabricated from Kevlar, Nomex and carbonfibre. The oval cabin cross-section is based on that of the Westwind 1124; high-domed fuselage plus a sunken aisle provides a headroom of 5ft 7in. The large fuselage fuel tank and the two auxiliary tanks mounted behind the pressure bulkhead and the high mounting of the Garrett turbofan engines is apparent.
