Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2015-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
DEF

A hinged or movable auxiliary airfoil used to impress a yawing moment to the aircraft.

OBS

rudder: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Manœuvres d'aéronefs
OBS

gouverne : Chacun des organes utilisés pour obtenir la rotation d'un aéronef autour de ses trois axes : tangage (gouverne de profondeur), roulis (gouverne latérale), lacet (gouverne de direction) et constitués, généralement par des plans mobiles actionnés par le pilote au moyen du palonnier (lacet) et du manche à balai (tangage et roulis).

OBS

gouvernail : synonyme ancien de gouverne.

OBS

gouverne de direction : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

OBS

gouverne de direction; direction : termes uniformisés par les Comités d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes et Maintenance.

OBS

gouvernail de direction : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Mandos de vuelo (Industria aeronáutica)
  • Maniobras de las aeronaves
DEF

Superficie aerodinámica móvil situada en posición vertical y en el empenaje de cola de un avión que permite realizar el control de guiñada.

Record 2 2011-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

The lift differential between the wings induces a rolling moment, and the drag differential induces a yawing moment, creating the spinning tendency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Avion qui a tendance à vriller.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Pilotaje y navegación aérea
CONT

Los dos primeros [planeadores] tenían un timón de altura anterior (canard), pero carecían de timón de dirección. El tercero tenía un doble plano vertical fijo detrás de las alas. Como mostrase tendencia a la barrena (debida a la resistencia al avance del alabeo), esta deriva doble fue sustituida por un timón de dirección simple conectado por cables al mando de alabeo.

Record 3 2002-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Opinions concerning the operational behaviour of engine controls pinpointed the fact that individual engines exhibited differing acceleration characteristics; this could result in unbalanced thrust and consequent yaw moments developing in such critical situations as applying reverse thrust on an icy runway.

OBS

yawing moment : term officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
OBS

moment de lacet : terme uniformisé par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Industria aeronáutica
OBS

momento de guiñada: término aceptado oficialmente por la Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI).

Record 4 1980-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Power Stations
  • Physics
CONT

The coefficients used for moment are similar to coefficients of lift, drag, and thrust, and are likewise dimensionless; however, these must include a characteristic length, in addition to the area, the span is used for rolling or yawing moment, and the chord is used for pitching moment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Centrales électriques
  • Physique
OBS

Il est égal à: (2 fois le moment) divisé par le produit de la masse volumique de l'air par la surface balayée, le carré de la vitesse du vent et le rayon du rotor.
