I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally‚ the horn is linked to the throttle or flap position‚ and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed‚configuration‚ or power setting with the gear retracted‚ the warning horn will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by

ABSTRACT: HELIOS project was a part of NASA’s ERAST programme (Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology). It was developed by NASA and Californian company AeroVironment Inc. ERAST programme develops pilotless solar powered airplane technology. The HELIOS construction is based upon its predecessors like NASA’s solar plane Pathfinder‚ which was successfully tested a few years prior to HELIOS. Due to its speed HELIOS was able to fly over the same spot for days or weeks‚ therefore‚ in

OUTSOURCE FOR AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE Good afternoon‚ in today’s agenda‚ I would like to bring your attention to the benefits of internal and external aircraft maintenance. As studies have shown that the cost benefits are marginal to maintain the aircrafts internally‚ the company is looking into contracting this process to external vendors. I believe most of you are wondering why we are planning on such move‚ let us look at the possible factors between internal and outsource of our aircraft maintenance

CHAPTER 4 AIRCRAFT BASIC CONSTRUCTION INTRODUCTION Naval aircraft are built to meet certain specified requirements. These requirements must be selected so they can be built into one aircraft. It is not possible for one aircraft to possess all characteristics; just as it isn’t possible for an aircraft to have the comfort of a passenger transport and the maneuverability of a fighter. The type and class of the aircraft determine how strong it must be built. A Navy fighter must be fast‚ maneuverable

AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM The Purpose of a Fuel System A fuel system purpose is to store‚ transfer‚ and then to mix the fuel with air. The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air‚ vaporized‚ and burned to produce energy. As everyone knows‚ an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize
