Week 2: Single and Multi-axis AP Systems Flashcards
On what axis do we roll?
Longitudinal
On what axis do we yaw?
Vertical Axis
On what axis do we pitch?
Lateral axis
This force is generated by engine/propulsion system
Thrust
What is the resistance of air against an aircrafts fwd motion called?
Drag
What is lift?
The force generated by motion of air passing over aircraft wings
This force is due to gravity
Weight
This force is drag caused by a lowered aileron during a turn
Adverse yaw
What is P factor?
Unwanted yaw due to asymmetric thrust by the descending blade in a climb
This attitude gyro gives the aircraft pitch and roll
Vertical gyro
Which gyro gives us yaw?
Directional gyro
What do deviations do?
Produce drive signals to servos to move control surfaces
What does the Turn-Coordinator and Accelerometer give the aircraft?
Position and rate sensing
What is the rate of turn of a Turn Coordinator?
3/s
With an aircraft in level flight what is the output of the two coils in the secondary?
No output from the two coils
