Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2007-02-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Launching and Space Maneuvering
DEF

The spacecraft flight period during which altitude and speed increase due to propulsion.

CONT

The ascent guidance function is responsible for commanding attitude, throttle and setting during the powered ascent phase of flight so that the vehicle attains target cutoff conditions in a near-optimal manner while satisfying path constraints such as maximum allowed bending moment and maximum allowed axial acceleration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lancement et manœuvres dans l'espace
DEF

Période du vol d'un véhicule aérospatial au cours de laquelle l'altitude et la vitesse croissent sous l'effet de la propulsion.

Spanish

Record 2 2002-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Control of the fuel flow is affected by the throttle to meter fuel to the burners; a barometric pressure control(BPC), to vary the pump output in relation to intake pressure; and an acceleration control unit(ACU) to prevent an excess supply of fuel to the engine during periods of engine acceleration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs

Spanish

Record 3 1996-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

Hand throttle control which allows for manual micrometer setting of the acceleration and for maintaining the engine speed selected by a locking mechanism contained in the control handle.

OBS

Used, for instance, in vehicles equipped with a power take-off but without a variable-speed governor.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Camionnage
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Commande de ralenti accéléré qui permet le contrôle manuel micrométrique de l'accélération et le maintien du régime de rotation du moteur sélectionné par un dispositif de blocage incorporé à la manette de commande.

OBS

On utilise une commande micrométrique de ralenti accéléré lorsqu'un véhicule, par exemple, est équipé d'une prise de mouvement, sans être aussi doté d'un régulateur tous régimes pour régler le régime de rotation du moteur.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transporte por camión
  • Frenos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
DEF

Control manual micrométrico del estrangulador y mantención del régimen de rotación del motor por medio de un mecanismo de traba incorporado a la palanca manual.

OBS

Se usa este control en vehículos de propulsión directa sin regulador de velocidad del motor.

Record 4 1986-04-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

The various passages in the fixed-venturi carburetor through which fuel and air are metered are called systems. Different systems supply fuel during idle, part throttle, full throttle and acceleration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Véhicules automobiles)

Spanish

Record 5 1986-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Control Instrumentation (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Fuel flow for acceleration is scheduled in accordance with N2. An acceleration cam is actuated by the N2 governor. The cam in turn positions a lever which will provide a maximum stop for the throttle valve.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dispositifs de commande (Composants mécaniques)
OBS

came d'accélération : Terme uniformisé par le CUTA - Opérations aériennes.
