CRUISE PERFORMANCE [5 records]

Record 1 2016-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

The Lear Siegler Performance Data Computer System(which incorporates an autothrottle/speed control computer developed by Smiths Industries of the UK) was evolved in collaboration with Boeing for use on B. 737 and 727 aircraft. The display/control unit screen shown here indicates the automatically-regulated EPR setting for an economy cruise regime under prevailing conditions.

Le Performance Data Computer System de Lear Siegler (qui comporte un calculateur de réglage automatique des gaz et de la vitesse, mis au point par la firme britannique Smiths Industries) a été conçu en collaboration avec Boeing pour équiper les B.737 et B.727. L'écran de la boîte d'affichage et de commande de l'illustration indique le réglage du rapport de pression des moteurs correspondant au régime de croisière le plus économique dans les conditions ambiantes.

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.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

Performance management consists essentially of calculating the optimum parameters for each phase of flight, such as climb, cruise and descent, and for the flight as a whole, taking into account the characteristics of the aircraft, the flight plan, the known meteorological conditions and so on. The pilot can set the system to achieve minimum consumption, lowest cost or best time. The computations make it possible to predict cost, so that the pilot can propose a change in flight conditions to the FMS and discover what effect it might have on cost if he were to put it into practice.

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

La gestion des performances consiste essentiellement à calculer les paramètres optimaux pour chaque phase de vol (montée, croisière, descente) et pour la totalité du vol en fonction des données propres à l'avion, du plan de vol, des conditions météorologiques connues, etc.

OBS

gestion des performances : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.
