Narrative:
Emergency landing. At approximately 130 KTS on takeoff, airspeed comparator changed bugs to amber, indicating CADC failure. Takeoff was continued and we switched to departure control. We lost autothrottles, elevator feel, flap limiting, and all first officer's CADC functions, and autoplt. First officer's compass and attitude reference were affected. An emergency was declared. We climbed to 10000 ft to dump fuel and returned to dfw for a normal landing below maximum landing weight.
