System Components

There are three set of two modified Rosemount pairs fitted to hard points on the aircraft, two on the port side and one on the startboard. The locations can be see in schematic here

The following documents are available to registered users:
 
The Rosemount pair aerosol inlet Technical Specification.
 
A Schematic of the Rosemount pair hardpoint installation.
 

Data

The Rosemount pairs have no measurements associated with their opperation per se. However, they are the first part of a number of aerosol sampling systems. Namely the AMS, CCN, CPC, Nephelometer, PSAP, VACC and SMPS. As such their behaviour with regard to aerosol sampling losses/enhancement is very important. This information is currently unknown.

Further Details

An aerosol inlet experiment is planned for August 2010 to characterise the Rosemount inlet used on the FAAM BAe-146. This is seen as an intial phase for any required changes in standard aerosol inlets employed on this platform.
