Hey there - thank you for the subtitles, even though I can understand you just fine. It is always nice, though. Your content is amazing! Loved your recent collaboration with CuriousMarc. Keep up the amazing videos!
Good analysis! The gearbox looks like it contains a worm drive inside in addition to the gears that we see. It would have been interesting to see on the oscilloscope the mechanical bandwidth of the entire device -- how fast it accelerates and moves in response to a step input. 2:20 While the missile is in the launch tube, the wings are folded against the body of the missile. Once the missile is out, a pair of pyrotechnic pushers kick the wings open, and after that the wings stay in the unfolded position shown here. (There is a latch inside.)
Yes, that's what surprises me about the servo mechanism: it seems like it would be slower than some kind of direct drive, and with backlash, and mechanical/maintenance complexity. But perhaps I'm underestimating the operating regime: the vane is surprisingly strong/heavy and appears to be designed for significant deflection. It's also interesting to think about the engineering mindset for a one-way device. Yes, you want it to work, and yes you want to be able to store and ship the device, but in some sense, efficient engineering should incorporate the fact that it'll be used exactly once...

It's amazing that stepper motors have the torque and speed to achieve this - It hit home to me how damn fast these things actually go when he pointed out the paint and metal was discolored from aerodynamic heating.. brief research suggests about Mach 4 - faster than a rifle bullet :O for those trying to visualize what the vane's actually actually steering, they weigh around 1000kg and range of 150km, so it would have a flight time of about 2 minutes to steer it onto a target.
Good Morning Michel, as per usual, a very interesting Video! Something im curious about would beif you can tell what material the tip of the Controlsurface is made from. The bulbous tip seems to be bolted on to the titanium fin as a counterweight, since this is for preventing control surface fluttering at very high speeds its very likely a large part of the mass of this control surface. Can you tell if it is Steel, Les, Tungsten or maybe even something more exotic?
Whoever designed the circuit itself was obviously reasonably competent, if old-fashioned. They probably built it on a bread-board, and debugged everything to make sure it performed according to the requirements of the contract. Once that was done, they gave the circuit diagram to a technician, to do the layout and the mechanical design of the board. That person was probably not very experienced, so they just used automatic placement and routing features of whatever bootleg EDA software they had. And that's it. The result worked, and nobody who was competent to review it bothered to do so.
@@cogoid Such rockets survive many and rigorous tests. Interesting that idiots are amused by “bad routing” while being ignorant of the development and production process.
No sophisticated tools is required, just a good continuity tester with sharp needles to pierce the conformal coating and patience. Bad routing extends the reverse engineering time.
Maybe the bad routing is actually a feature? The layout of the board allows for a great viewing angle for every single part. PCBs seem like they're pretty observable before putting components on, so they can inspect a more complicated PCB easily, then inspect the individual solder joints with a high degree of confidence?
Stupid question. How does the system avoid excessive Gs? The reason I’m asking is because that leading edge counterweight is far larger than necessary to balance the fin or act as inertial dampening. Older aircraft like the F-4 phantom have counterweights in the controls to increase load forces during high G maneuvers, to avoid turning too hard. If the electronics don’t have any way to moderate G loads, it’s probably safe to assume the leading edge weight is so oversized to provide moderation of G forces, in addition to acting as mass dampener. Do you see anything in the electronics that would limit the G forces? Or is the counterweight the only thing moderating force?
Very interesting. The electronics is too strong as it stands the explosion and the Post handling. Still it would be interesting to see ...4.. seconds clear still pictures, where we can see all the texts in the chips and other components with their types & manufacturing weeks & manufacture labels. But very much thanks even like this.
Great video as always, awesome that you got the thing working! At first I was surprised by the relatively modest position control bandwidth, but considering the size and purpose of the tornado missile it actually makes sense.
I didn't expect it to be quite so quick though in hindsight I probably should have considering it's use case. Very interesting as usual. Thanks for the content.
@ yeah, totally fair, and obviously it's plenty fast enough, just imagined it being faster for the maneuvering requirements of a short range interceptor.
10:13 - I wonder if Ken Shirriff or anyone else doing decapping/analysis of chips would be interested to take a look at those Russian made opamps / other ICs .. Is it really all Russian made or maybe it's just Russian packaged foreign silicon?
There are plenty of videos from Russian microelectronics factories. They look very similar to older Intel factories, and use practically the same equipment. Definitely capable of producing OpAmps and small logic chips in any numbers needed for the missiles. A small factory without any automation at all makes one million chips a year at $30/chip.
@@cogoid not arguing they cannot make those. But given Russia's corruption problems I'd be curious to check if they're not buying bare dies, packaging and pocketing the difference.

Hello, rookie here. Could someone please explain why analog control is used here? It seems that the rocket system ia relative new around 2014, why not use a microcontroller to acheive this servo control?
As we say in France « pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire compliqué? ». What can be the advantage to use a microcontroller ? Risk of failure is much more important. As in nuclear power plant for example, programmable devices are generally prohibited, analog control is common.
@@cogoid I'd really love some background info about how they design this kind of stuff. This "somewhat less competent" approach to PCB design surprised me quite a bit after watching many teardowns and reverse engineering videos about all kinds of soviet/ru aviation and mil equipment.

I mean, placing the passive components of an analog filter so far away from the active part is ridiculous, that's just asking for trouble. I was honestly thinking what could be a sound reason for doing it this way on purpose. Making reverse engineering a bit harder? Using the stray inductance of the long traces in the circuit? Maybe it works better if the circuit oscillates a little bit?
