Record 2 2014-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
CONT

A balance tab is similar in function to the control tab in that it is designed to assist the pilot in moving the control surface.... As the control surface begins to move in a certain direction, the balance tab moves in the opposite direction. This produces an aerodynamic force to help move the control surface. In some designs, the balance tab is combined in function so that it can be actuated in flight. In these cases it also serves as a controllable trim tab.

OBS

geared tab: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs

Record 3 2004-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
OBS

The somatosensory system consists of numerous pressure receptors contained within the muscles, tendons, joints, and skin. This system reacts to the sensations resulting from pressures or stretch on joints, muscles and skin and also from slight changes in the position of internal organs. These are the forces that act on the seated pilot in flight. It is closely associated with the vestibular system and to a lesser degree, the visual system. They allow the pilot to sense certain complex motions and forces of flight such as aircraft feel(buffet, control forces, rudder, trim force) and "G" forces.

DEF

A cargo distribution instrument (which is also a warning and safety device) for calculating water trim and longitudinal hull bending and shearing forces acting on a ship as her cargo is moved for loading and discharging.

OBS

The computer gives a fast and accurate evaluation of displacement, drafts, trim, stability, bending moments distribution, shear force distribution, cargo torque, etc. It allows simulation and prediction of loading and discharging.
