avnotsofun Flashcards
central body of an airplane
fuselage
- oldest
- external bracing
truss
- remove external
- skin covering
-single shell
monocoque
external and skin covering
semi monocoque
establishes the shape of the fuselage
formers
main foundation of fuselage
longerons
partition or wall
bulkhead
main lifting sources
wings
end to end longitudinal beam
spar
provides the shape of the aircraft wings
ribs
distributes evenly the stress
stingers
closes to fuselage
wing root
vieewd from above
planform
tail section of an airplane
empennage
- fixed section
- provide stability
- keep flying straight
horizontal stabilizer
- pitch (up and down)
-vertical stabilator
elavator
- keep the nose of the air
- side to side
vertical stabilator
yaw(changes the direction it is pointing)
rudder
principal support of an airplane when taxiing
landing gear
pag maglaland sa tubig
landing floats
pag maglaland sa snow
landing skids
converts chemical energy to mechanical energy
Powerplant
Back and forth of the pistons
reciprocating engine
let fuel or air in cylinder
intake valve
forms one of the walls of the combustion
pistons
forms a link between pistons and crankshaft
connecting rod
forms a part of the chamber fuel is compressed and burned
cylinder
let exhaust gasses out
exhaust valve
absorbs power of cylinder
crankshaft
Pistons is in the highest point
TDC
Pistons is in the lowest point
BDC
fuel and air mixture is drawn into the cylinder
intake stroke
compressesfuel and air mixture
compression stroke
compressed fuel and air ignited by sparkplug
combustion stroke
pistons moves upward to purge cylinder.
exhaust stroke.
- decelerate the incoming air
- brings a free stream of air in engiine
INLET
increase the air pressure before it enters the combustor
compressor
moving part of compressor
rotors
fixed part of compressor
stators
sits between the compressor and turbine
produce tgrust
burner or combustion
converts thermal energy to kinetic energy
turbine
converts thermal energy from exhaust gasses into kinetic energy
noxxle
types of turbine that is simplest
burning 100% of air it sucks
used for jet fighters
turbo jet
provides more efficiency when flying at lower speeds
big cargo airplanes
landing and takiing off at shorter runways
turboprop
most modern
higher thrust and fuel efficiency
turbofan
- produce shaft power
-inclusive of helicopters
turboshaft
- four engine plae
- won passenger with its shorter flight time and smoother ride
boeing 707
- twin jet
- develop into a modern family
- world best commercial aircraft
- most notable
boeing 737
amount of time that aircraft travelled
flight duration
for airline usage
boeing 737 max
private sector
boeing business jet
for ilitary use
clipper c40
