Power instilations Flashcards
Where are engines installed
Inside the nacelle which gives aerodynamic smoothness and protects the engine components
What damage is allowed in the nacelle
Small dents , limitations found in the amm
What class are critical parts
Class 1 aerodynamic smoothness
How do we get undisturbed airflow around the pylon
By specially shaped covers called fairings
Air inlet cowling parts
Outer and inner barrel
Nose lip
Forward and aft bulkhead
How is air inlet cowling connected to engine flange
By bolts & there are two index pins
Why do some engines have unsymmetrical inlets
Use different air inlet cowlings on the left and right engine
How are cowlings supported
Single or dual telescopic hold open rods
Fan cowling latch angles
40-55
What does fan reverse cowling do
Guides fan airflow in either forward or reverse direction
How is cowling opened
Due to its weight it’s opened with assistance of hydraulic pressure from hydraulic hand pump
How do we prevent blade tip rub
The cowling forming a stiff case to support structural stability
How cowlings stiffened
V shaped grooves and blades
What causes tip rub
High aerodynamic loads
What are the two passive fire protection features
Fire protective coating & fire seal
What material is the fire seal
Titanium with heat resistant silicon layer
What does core cowling do
Covers the hot section of engine
How is the core cowling sometimes combined
With the fan reverser cowling
Exhaust nozzle components
Centre body & exhaust sleeve
What uses a reduced exhaust signature
High bypass fan engines
What material is the acoustic panel in low temperature areas
Lightweight composite
What material is the acoustic panel high temperature areas
Fibrous-metallic materials
When does pressure relive door open
Overpressure in compartment
How is the pressure relief door held in a closed position
By a spring
What are engines installed on
Pylon or engine strut
How many engine mounts is there
2 mounts
One fwd and one aft
