Q

Describe Fuselage

A

The fuselage is the body of the aircraft. The
DA20C-1 has a GFRP-fuselage of semi-monocoque (reinforced shell) construction.

Q

Describe the Wings

A

Wings are the primary lift generating
component of an aircraft. The GFRP-wings
are of semi-monocoque sandwich construction
and contain a CFRP-spar for strength. The
ailerons and flaps are made from CFRP and
are attached to the wings using stainless steel
and aluminum hinges.

Q

Describe how a prop works

A

2 ways:
The propeller has a camber like a wing to produce lift in the forward direction

The propeller is twisted to change the angle of attack from the hub to the tip.

Q

What is a Voltmeter

A

Indicates the voltage on the main bus.
Indicates about 14 volts when the generator is on-line.

28
Q

What is the function of the Oil System?

A

The engine oil system performs several functions to include:
* Lubrication of the engine’s moving parts.
* Cooling the engine by reducing friction.
* Removing heat from the cylinders.
* Providing a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons.
* Carrying away contaminants which cleans the engine.
