respective FADEC to deliver high pressure fuel to the
engine. Some of that high pressure fuel from the FDU is
routed back to a motive flow ejector pump in each fuel
tank sump to generate the low pressure fuel supply
required by the FDU and by the one motive flow scav-
enge pump per tank located near each sump. Fuel may
be transferred from tank to tank as needed. A vented
surge tank is integrated near each wing tip.
Fuel levels are monitored by six passive capacitance
probes per wing and one dual channel signal conditioner for
accurate quantity indications which are shown on the multi-
function display. Refueling is accomplished through over
wing filler ports with flush mounted caps.
9.3 Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is an open-center design providing
1,500 psi (103.4 bar) on demand to operate the landing
gear, speed brakes, and flaps. Two engine-driven
pumps, one located on each engine, supply hydraulic
pressure. Either pump can supply enough pressure and
flow to operate the system. An independent hydraulic
system, driven by an electric motor, operates the wheel
brakes and anti-skid system, and charges the emer-
gency accumulator.
9.4 Electrical System
The M2 electrical power generation and distribution sys-
tem features traditional parallel bus architecture designed
to provide 600 amperes at 29 volts DC from two engine
driven 300 ampere starter/generators. One 44 ampere-
hour nickel cadmium battery is used for initial engine starts
and serves as a limited backup to the generators.
Each generator is connected to a remote digital genera-
tor control unit (GCU) in the tailcone. The two GCUs are
connected to each other to allow proportionate load
sharing. If one generator becomes disabled in flight, the
vapor cycle air conditioning system, if in use, and the
interior electrical equipment, will automatically load shed
to prevent overloading the remaining generator. All other
systems are supplied by the remaining generator
through the respective main and crossfeed busses.
All system controls are located on the left-hand power
switch panel and the indications are displayed on the
MFD EIS window for voltage and generators amperage.
Left and right circuit breaker panels are positioned on
the cockpit sidewall within easy reach of each pilot. A
junction box is accessible through the aft baggage com-
partment. The battery, with quick disconnect, is posi-
tioned just left of the baggage compartment door behind
an easy access panel. An external power receptacle is
provided below the left engine pylon.
A sealed lead acid 24V, 16a-hr auxiliary battery is
installed in the nose over the landing gear well. During
normal operation the battery works in conjunction with
the primary ships battery to allow for all aircraft systems,
including avionics, to be powered on during engine
starts. The auxiliary battery is also used to provide addi-
tional battery capacity during emergency operation.
A 500 watt inverter supplies 110 volt AC power to three
outlets: one in the copilot's sidewall and two in the cabin.
9.5 Pressurization and Environmental Systems
Engine bleed air is tapped to pressurize the M2 cabin.
The pressurization control system automatically sched-
ules cabin altitude and change rate while maintaining a
nominal maximum pressure differential of 8.5 psi. Cabin
altitude and rate of change are automatically managed
by a digital, auto-schedule controller. A nominal maxi-
mum differential pressure of 8.5 psi (.59 bar) permits a
sea level cabin altitude up to 22,027 feet (6,714 m),
increasing to 8,000 feet (2,438 m) at the maximum
cruise altitude of 41,000 feet (12,497 m). The MFD dis-
plays all pressurization parameters and the GTCs pro-
vide pilot interface for entry of landing field elevation.
Engine bleed air is also used to heat the cabin and to
defog the windows. A vapor cycle air conditioning sys-
tem provides cooling and may be operated anytime in
the air, or on the ground when ground power is connect-
ed or when the right engine is running. In flight, the sys-
tem automatically shuts down if one generator falls off
line. A cockpit thermostat permits automatic temperature
control and a five-position flow divider allows proportion-
ing of the airflow.
9.6 Oxygen System
A 50 cubic foot (1.42 m
3
) oxygen bottle, located in the
nose, is provided with a high pressure gauge and bottle-
mounted pressure regulator. Quick-donning pressure
demand masks with microphones are provided at each
crew seat, while automatic dropout constant-flow oxygen
masks are provided at each passenger seat and above
the toilet. Oxygen flow to the cabin is controlled by a
sequencing regulator valve for optimal passenger usage.
