CRUISE ENGINE [11 records]

Record 1 2023-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
  • Telecommunications
  • Air Transport
CONT

A post-accident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. An aviation weather reporting station located 2 miles southeast of the accident site reported weather conditions about the time of the accident that were conducive to moderate carburetor icing at cruise power or serious icing at glide power.

The difference of the aerodynamic influence of two engine models... on [the] airframe is analyzed... The results indicate that at cruise condition, the engine shape is a primary factor affecting the... airframe upper fuselage surface flow, the two engine models exhibit a similar aerodynamic influence on the... airframe. However, at takeoff condition, the two engine models’ aerodynamic influence on the airframe is different, because of the air suction caused by the WPN [with powered nacelle] engine model affecting the airframe upper fuselage surface flow...

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

How can we make the engine more efficient without giving up a single horsepower of performance when we need it? These days, the answer is engine downspeeding. This is not a reduction in the size of the engine; instead, it's a reduction in the rpm [revolutions per minute] of the engine, especially at highway cruising speeds between 61 and 68 miles per hour. Downspeeding allows the engine to cruise in its sweet spot, reducing friction and increasing fuel efficiency.

Subject field(s)
  • Control Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Safety Equipment (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Adaptive cruise control is similar to conventional cruise control in that it maintains the vehicle's pre-set speed. However, unlike conventional cruise control, this new system can automatically adjust speed in order to maintain a proper distance between vehicles in the same lane. This is achieved through a radar headway sensor, digital signal processor and longitudinal controller. If the lead vehicle slows down, or if another object is detected, the system sends a signal to the engine or braking system to decelerate. Then, when the road is clear, the system will re-accelerate the vehicle back to the set speed.

Control inteligente de velocidad, [...] este sistema mantiene la distancia de seguridad que se establezca con el vehículo que le precede, gracias a unos radares anticolisión montados en el parachoques delantero. Cuando esta distancia se reduce, el CIV emite una señal acústica para alertar al conductor y, si éste no frena, el coche es capaz de aminorar la velocidad hasta los 30 km/h.

Record 7 2010-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

A dual cycle fan jet engine suitable for use in STOL [Short Takeoff and Landing Aircraft] aircraft with augmentor wings is disclosed. In a cruise mode of operation, primary air and fan air from a fan jet engine are axially exhausted rearwardly in a conventional manner. In an augmentor mode of operation, the primary air is diverted by valves through an augmentor turbine where it is expanded and exhausted at a relatively low velocity, and the fan air is diverted by valves through an augmentor compressor driven by the augmentor turbine. The supercharged output of the augmentor compressor is directed via wing ducting to the augmentor flaps of the associated augmentor wing.

OBS

The use of an augmenter wing as a lift enhancement device has been the subject of extensive research. In blown wing or other aircraft the augmenter wing would be disposed aft and above the aircraft’s main wing to utilize otherwise "lost" airflow.

Ex. 18-Autorotations. Aim. To determine that, in the event of an engine failure, the candidate has the ability to make a safe autorotational approach and landing to a suitable landing area.... Landing or Power Recovery to the Hover/Hover-Taxi. Description. The candidate will be required to carry out two types of autorotational approaches, one of which will include a 180 degree turn. The exercise will be initiated above ground that has previously been assessed as suitable for practice autorotation landings. The autorotation will be commenced from cruise at a safe height, but in no instance lower than 500 feet above ground. The approaches will terminate at the discretion of the examiner, in either a landing, or a power recovery to the hover/hover-taxi.

[...] Atterrissage ou remise des gaz au cours d'un vol en stationnaire ou en circulation près du sol. Description. Le candidat doit effectuer deux approches en autorotation dont une doit comprendre un virage de 180°. L'exercice sera amorcé au-dessus d'une zone reconnue au préalable comme étant propice pour la pratique de ce genre d'atterrissage. Les autorotations seront amorcées en vol de croisière à une hauteur sécuritaire (500 pieds minimum) au-dessus du sol. L'approche en autorotation se terminera soit par un atterrissage ou un rattrapage avec puissance au vol stationnaire ou une circulation prè du sol, à la discrétion de l'examinateur.

Behind the engine is the ejector system, which performs the reverse function to that of the intake, in accelerating the jet stream emerging from the turbine at M 0. 4 to the cruise speed of around M 3. 0. Below M 1. 3, blow-in and suck-in doors provide a cold tertiary air stream which is augmented by cowl and aft bypass bleed.

A l'arrière du moteur se trouve le système d'éjection, qui porte la vitesse des gaz sortant de la turbine de Mach 0,4 à environ Mach 3 (soit la vitesse de croisière). A moins de Mach 1,3, des volets d'aspiration produisent un flux d'air tertiaire froid, dont le volume est augmenté par prélèvement au niveau du capot et dans la dérivation arrière.
