Emergency Ram Air Turbine
Purpose: provide emergency power to essential
systems when all engines fail
Hydraulic power
• for powered actuation of flight control
surfaces
Electric Power
• for flight control computers,
essential instruments, radio, cockpit lighting,
windshield and pitot tube de-icing
The airplane becomes a glider
when all engines fail
