Record 1 2017-11-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
  • Airport Runways and Areas
OBS

When hard braking is applied for slowing down or stopping after an aborted takeoff or emergency stop situation, the tire is locked up and can’t rotate, causing rapid heat buildup. When the tire begins to smoke, rubber debris build up under the tire. As the skid continues, more and more debris cause a barrier to form against the water, preventing it from escaping past the tire. A seal has now been created... heating the water under the tire to a point where steam exists. The steam is strong enough to support the tire and prevent runway contact. Should the skid continue, the tire enters reverted rubber state as more heat, steam and rubber debris continue the process.

Key term(s)
  • rubber-reverted aquaplanning

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvres d'aéronefs
  • Pistes et aires d'aéroport
CONT

Par ailleurs, il peut y avoir aquaplanage dû à la dévulcanisation du caoutchouc lorsqu'une roue bloquée patine sur une piste très glissante recouverte d'eau ou de neige fondante à une vitesse supérieure à 20 nœuds, alors que la chaleur générée par la friction produit de la vapeur qui commence à dévulcaniser le caoutchouc, sur une partie du pneu, pour le ramener à son état d'avant-vulcanisation.

  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
OBS

The design of the machine is such that it is not possible to drain oil off at the lowest point of the spindle,(...) ;it is necessary to have the drainage point at the centre height of the spindle. This means that the lower half is always filled with oil so that a rubbing radial seal was considered necessary.

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
OBS

En raison de la conception de la machine, il n'est pas possible de drainer l'huile à la partie inférieure de la broche, (...), mais on a dû prévoir une évacuation à mi-hauteur de la broche. La moitié inférieure est donc toujours remplie d'huile, ce qui a nécessité la présence d'un joint à frottement radial.

Record 5 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The fire extinguishing equipment for an airliner such as the Douglas DC-10 incorporates three systems with six pressurized agent containers, two for each engine. The containers for the wing-mounted engines are located in pairs in the leading edge of the wing between the nacelle and the fuselage on each side of the aircraft.... The discharge cartridge is an electrically fired explosive unit that provides force to rupture the disk seal in the outlet port of the container and release the extinguishing agent to the deployment lines. One discharge cartridge is installed on each wing-mounted container and two are installed on the aft-engine container. The discharge cartridge contains two squibs(explosive charges) that are fired by an electric circuit that heats the powder to the ignition point. When the fire extinguisher control handle is pulled down, the electric circuit is closed and the squibs are fired. The force of the explosion ruptures the disk seal, thus releasing the extinguishing agent. A screen in the discharge head prevents particles of the disk from entering the deployment line.

OBS

This system is specific to the McDonnell Douglas Corporation aircraft (DC-9, DC-10).

OBS

Record 6 1991-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
CONT

The "disk closure" is another plug-orifice type, a two-piece design consisting of an orifice closure base and a plug fitment hinged to a round disk which is set into the closure top. By pressing upon the access point, the disk fitment swings up upon its hinges, deactivating the plug seal from the orifice for one-handed dispension. Some of these designs also produce audible "snap" upon engagement and disengagement.

OBS

The one-hand, one-finger action closure has gained high consumer preference particularly on personal-care and sun-care products.

OBS

Disc Top is a trademark.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modes d'ouverture et de fermeture (Emball.)
