THRUST LEVER [10 records]

Record 1 2019-04-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hunting and Sport Fishing
DEF

... a device for setting a fishing net under the ice between two ice holes ...

CONT

A jigger consists of a board and two levers so arranged that a backward pull on a line attached to one lever is translated into a forward thrust which propels the board along beneath the ice.

CONT

Another method uses a prairie ice jigger, a sledlike wooden device that slides along the underside of the ice. The jigger is launched under the ice, towing a rope. When the rope is pulled, a lever is raised; when the rope is released, the lever springs back in such a way that it pushes against the ice and jerks the jigger forward.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chasse et pêche sportive
CONT

Une autre méthode consiste à se servir d'une navette, petit instrument de bois en forme de traîneau qu'on glisse le long de la surface inférieure de la glace. Sous la glace, la navette traîne une corde derrière elle et, lorsqu'on tire sur la corde, un levier se redresse; au moment où la corde est relâchée, le levier se rabat de telle sorte qu'il s'appuie contre la glace et pousse la navette vers l'avant.

Record 2 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The reverse thrust system provides means of decelerating aircraft during the landing roll, thus reducing landing roll length. The thrust reverser units are attached at the turbine outlet case of each engine.... The reversers are controlled by reverse thrust levers and operated by 13th stage engine bleed air. When not in use, the reversers are held in the locked position by 13th stage air and a mechanical lock. Each engine throttle has an additional handle which is used to actuate the thrust reversers. The reverse thrust lever pivots about a point near to the top of the throttle. If reverse trust is required, the throttle must be retarded to closed and then the reverse thrust lever must be pulled up. Further aft movement of the lever will increase reverse thrust.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

Après le toucher, [le pilote] tira précautionneusement la manette d'inversion de poussée du n° 2 jusqu'à l'inversion maximale.

OBS

Dans le domaine aéronautique, [...] l'inversion de poussée est un dispositif permettant d'orienter vers l'avant la poussée exercée par un moteur à hélice ou à réaction dans le but de ralentir l'avion et de reduire les distances lors de l'atterrissage. L'inversion de poussée est surtout utilisée sur les avions civils, ou sur les avions militaires qui en sont dérivés (avions de transport, ravitailleurs, etc...), mais elle équipe également quelques avions de combat comme le Tornado ou le SAAB 37 Viggen.

OBS

manette : Clef, levier, poignée commandant un mécanisme et que l'on manœuvre à la main.

OBS

manette d'inversion de poussée : terme uniformisé par les Comités d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance et Opérations aériennes.

Record 4 2008-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Thus with increase in altitude the reduced fuel pressure force acting on the half-ball valve is compensated by reduction in the thrust exerted by the bellows on the lever, thus compensating the governor creep.... Since the creep of the governor is compensated by the creep control device, the full speed position of the lever controls the maximum safe speeds for the engine under normal operating conditions.

OBS

Fuel control system.

Record 5 2007-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
CONT

To select reverse thrust after landing, the flight crew lifts the reverse-thrust levers. An electrically operated "balk" blocks each lever at the reverse-idle position until the thrust reversers deploy. Then each balk is removed to allow selection of full-reverse thrust. This electrically operated balk replaces the thrust control cable interlock used on previous 737s.
