Swept back wings
What is a high bypass ratio engine?
What is a high bypass ratio engine?
In a high bypass design, the vast majority of the thrust is derived from the ducted fan, rather than from combustion gases expanding in a nozzle.
A high bypass ratio provides a lower thrust specific fuel consumption (grams/sec fuel per unit of thrust in kN using SI units), especially at zero velocity (at takeoff) and at the cruise speed of most commercial jet aircraft.
What does the abbreviation MSA mean?
What does the abbreviation MSA mean?
Minimum Safe Altitude.
How does an aerofoil work?
How does an aerofoil work?
An aerofoil is a body shaped to produce an aerodynamic reaction (lift) perpendicular to its direction of motion, for a small resistance (drag) force in that plane. It achieves this by accelerating the flow passing over it, and decelerating the flow passing under it. This change in velocity causes a change in pressure, which in turn generates lift.
Does a jet have a critical engine? Why yes or no?
Does a jet have a critical engine? Why yes or no?
No, there is no P-factor (asymmetric blade effect) as on a propeller-driven aircraft.
What is advection fog?
What is advection fog?
Advection fog occurs when moist air passes over a cool surface by advection (wind) and is cooled.
It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack, but it is most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the coast of California.
What are the hydraulic systems of the Boeing 737 called?
What are the hydraulic systems of the Boeing 737 called?
Hydraulic system A and hydraulic system B.
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
You are at the end of the runway with the static ports blocked. What will be the reading on the altimeter after departure?
The elevation at which the airplane departed from the runway.
If the yaw damper fails and the aircraft experiences Dutch roll, how can the pilot stabilize the aircraft?
If the yaw damper fails and the aircraft experiences Dutch roll, how can the pilot stabilize the aircraft?
Apply opposite aileron to the direction of the roll.
