AMT-Blueprint Design Flashcards
Purpose of aircraft drawings
- Link between design engineers send maintenance technicians
- Communicates ideas concerning construction and assembly resulting tangible products.
_________ allow engineering concepts and/or tweaks to be pre-visualized on a whim, condenses days of work into hours.
Computer Graphics
Rough drawings made without the use of instruments. Specific bit of info with minimum detail.
Sketches
Drawings made with instruments, provide all info (including dimensions) needed to fabricate a part.
Detail drawings
Drawings that describe the relationship of two or more parts and how they are assembled.
Assembly drawings
Drawings with all necessary information for a part assy in the final installation position in the aircraft.
Installation drawings
This view of a drawing shows the way a component would appear if it were cut in half through the middle.
Sectional view
A _____ is used when interior hidden features cannot be shown. Shows internal features by removing exterior half.
Full section
Shows exterior and interior of a part on each half portion of the object. Upper half shows interior whereas bottom half shows exterior.
Half-section
Drawn on exterior, shows how a part is sectioned and turned 90⁰ towards viewer to show shape that is hidden. (Think spokes on a bike)
Revolved section
Similar to revolved, but cut piece is moved to the side to illustrate another angle, sometimes it is upscaled.
Removed section
Shows the outside of a component with parts of it cut away to show inside
Cutaway drawings
This method of illustration, helps to show exact size and shape by illustrating the faces (6) of an object. Front, top, bottom, rear, right, left
Orthographic projection drawings
Shows only a part of the object but in greater detail.
Detail view
Like a photo, shows object as it appears to the eye. General appearance.
Pictorial drawings
Shows as appears to observer. Angles and dimensions not accurate due to skewing by perspective
Perspective drawing
Combo of views of orthographic projection and tilts forward so all 3 sides can be seen in 1 view. Lines are parallel and dimensioned as orthographic
Isometric drawing
Like Isometric but two axis are always right (90⁰) angles
Oblique drawings
Pictorial drawing of two or more parts that fit together as an assy, parts are floating from their path. Individual parts and relative positions
Exploded-view drawings
Graphic representation of an assy or system, methods of principles of operation
Diagrams
Identifies each of the components in the systems and shows location and how to install.
Installation diagrams
Locate components with respect to each other within the system. Used for troubleshooting. Principle of operation
Schematic diagrams
Show various functions of a system, drawn as boxes with lines connecting them.
Block diagram
Show wires in a particular section of aircraft electrical system
