Other term of thrust augmentation

A

Afterburner

17
Q

use for takeoff of jets and more power that produced in small runway

A

Afterburner / Thrust Augmentation

18
Q

use during landing ig the runway is slippery

A

Thrust Reverser

19
Q

3 Types of Thrust Reverser

A
  1. Bucket Target/ Bucket Door
  2. Clamshell Door
  3. Cascading Vanes/ Blocker Door
20
Q
  • hydraulically actuated and uses bucket-type doors to reverse the hot gas stream
  • more on turbojets
A

Bucket Target / Bucket Door

21
Q

are operated by pneumatic rams through levers that
give the maximum load to the doors in the forward thrust position; this
ensures effective sealing at the door edges, so preventing gas leakage.

A

Clamshell Door

22
Q
  • is ‘open’ because the cascade vanes are internally covered by the
    blocker doors (flaps) and externally by the movable (translating) cowl;
    the latter item also serves to reduce drag
  • more on turbofan engines
A

Cascading Vanes/ Blocker Door
