F-14 Central Air Data Computer
The F-14's Central Air Data Computer, also abbreviated as CADC, computes altitude, vertical speed, air speed, and mach number from sensor inputs such as Pitot-static_system#Pitot_pressure, pitot and Pitot-static_system#Static_pressure, static pressure and temperature. From 1968 to 1970, the first CADC to use custom digital integrated circuits was developed for the Grumman_F-14_Tomcat, F-14. History The CADC was a multi-chip integrated flight control system developed by Garrett AiResearch and used in early versions of the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat fighter. It is notable for early use of metal–oxide–semiconductor, MOS custom integrated circuits and has been claimed as the first microprocessor chipset. The first commercial microprocessor chip was the contemporary Intel 4004. The 4004 did not have nearly the computing power or interfacing capability required to perform the functions of the CADC. At the time, the best integrated circuit (chip) technology available lacked the scale (nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
