Each of the two hydraulic systems for the Douglas DC-9 airplane is provided with an auxiliary, electrically driven, variable-displacement hydraulic pump. The pumps are explosion-resistant, hydraulic-fluid-cooled and lubricated, self-supercharged, and pressure-and horsepower-controlled. They are capable of supplying a nonpulsating flow of hydraulic fluid in varying volume, depending upon system pressure... Control of the pumps is accomplished by means of switches in the flight compartment. If one engine should stop or if the hydraulic pump on that engine should fail, it is merely necessary to turn on the electric pump switch to place the system back in full operation. Each pump is connected to its respective system by means of flexible hoses with a ground power suction disconnect fitting installed in the suction line. The left pump can be quickly removed and installed in the right system if the right pump fails. 2, record 10, English, - electric%20auxiliary%20pump

Tracks in the forward and aft sides of the shroud support the carriage and provide a means of installing the stairway in the airplane. Springs, mounted in the closed end of the shroud, provide tension on the carriage to prevent movement of the stair when the stair is retracted. A detent stop assembly, with a mechanical lock, is provided for securing the carriage and stair in the extended position when electrical power is to be removed from the stairway circuits. 2, record 14, English, - carriage

Something that would make ecologists happy is a clean airplane. And the Ipanema, Brazil' s first totally alcohol-powered aircraft, is almost off the ground. The project has been in development for two years, under the wing of Neiva, a division of the aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Brazil' s largest agricultural aircraft manufacturer. The Ipanema does not pollute because, unlike conventionally fuelled engines, its alcohol-fuelled engine releases no lead residues into the atmosphere. However, for farmers, the real advantage is low operating cost. "Alcohol is four times less expensive than regular aviation fuel. So, while the alcohol engine consumes a little more fuel, just like automobiles, the bottom line is a savings of about 60 percent"... The alcohol-fuelled engine also boasts five percent more power. This slight advantage will allow the plane to carry extra quantities of crop-dusting products. Another advantage is that this type of engine runs cooler, giving it a longer maintenance cycle and useful life... The aircraft is still in the approval process, so the first alcohol-powered Ipanema will not fly until March 2005, after it has been completely certified. 1, record 15, English, - alcohol%20aircraft

The gyro instruments require a source of power to drive their gyros. This power is supplied either by the electrical system of the airplane or by a vacuum system that functions by means of an engine-driven pump or venturi...

Horizon artificiel. C'est un instrument important du tableau de bord. Il permet simultanément de maintenir une assiette et de mesurer une inclinaison. Il n'indique pas le taux de virage. Il est essentiellement constitué d'un gyroscope tournant à vitesse élevée dont la principale qualité est la fixité dans l'espace. Il reste donc fixe et le boîtier dans lequel il est contenu est solidaire du tableau de bord. Il doit être alimenté soit par dépression (pompe à vide entraînée par le moteur), soit électriquement. 1, record 16, French, - aliment%C3%A9%20%C3%A9lectriquement
