English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
  • Collaboration with the FAO
CONT

[A tuna] handline is a fishing gear composed of a single vertical line with one barbed hook at the distal point. [The line] must be strong enough to hold the fish and withstand the combined force of its weight, swimming power and determination to escape. Handlines can be set and hauled either manually or by [a] mechanized reel. It is operated by simply dropping the baited hook into the level of the sea where tuna are found abundant.

Key term(s)
  • mechanised reel

Domaine(s)
  • Pêche commerciale
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
CONT

La ligne à main servant à pêcher le thon est un engin composé d'une seule ligne verticale garnie d'un hameçon à ardillon à son extrémité distale. [...] La ligne doit être suffisamment robuste pour tenir le poisson tout en résistant aux forces combinées de son poids, de sa puissance de nage et de ses efforts pour s'échapper. Les lignes à main peuvent être mises à l'eau et relevées manuellement ou à l'aide d'un moulinet mécanisé. Elles sont opérées en laissant simplement tomber l'hameçon appâté à la hauteur d'eau où les thons abondent.

Record 4 2016-06-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A valve used in liquid-powered systems to allow normal speed of operation in one direction and limited speed in another.

CONT

An orifice check valve may be included in a hydraulic landing gear actuator system. When the gear is raised, the check valve allows full fluid flow to lift the heavy gear at maximum speed. When lowering the gear, the orifice in the check valve prevents the gear from violently dropping by restricting fluid flow out of the actuating cylinder.

Record 5 2006-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Dynamic tests are specifically concerned with landing gear performance and CEAT has four specialized machines for this purpose. The landing gear is attached to an adjustable ’load’ platform running in vertical guides. Landing impact is simulated by dropping this assembly at a controlled speed on to a rotating drum which provides the effect of movement over the ground. The largest of these four machines, developed and built at CEAT, permits dynamic tests to be carried out on the main landing gear of aircraft with a landing weight in excess of 120 tonnes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

L'atterrisseur est fixé sur une plate-forme de masse réglable et guidée verticalement, l'impact étant obtenu par chute à vitesse constante de l'ensemble sur un volant, qui simule la vitesse longitudinale.

OBS

Pluriel : des plateformes, des plates-formes.

OBS

plateforme (sing.); plateformes (pl.) : Ces graphies, puisées des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, sont attestées dans le Petit Robert (2004).

Record 7 1999-02-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
CONT

Even when the designer has settled the size and angle of the tail plane, the force which it will experience will be outside the control of the pilot, and although they may automatically compensate for such things as changes in pitching moment on the main planes, they cannot possibly deal with changes of weight such as are caused by the dropping of bombs, consumption of fuel, and changes in the disposition of passengers and cargo. For this reason the adjustable tail plane was introduced, this being operated by an actuating gear and controlled by a wheel or lever in the pilot's cockpit. This enabled the pilot to alter the angle of setting of the tail plane during flight and so cause downward or upward forces upon it at will, thus balancing the aeroplane under all conditions.

OBS

adjustable(-incidence) tailplane: terms standardized by ISO.
