Record 1 2017-11-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
  • Commercial Aviation
CONT

One interesting conclusion was that ventral intakes were not suited to very small fighters, since they gave too short a wheelbase, worsening ground handling and restricting centreline loads, a large radar signature, and severe flow distortion in the short S-bend duct.

Key term(s)
  • centerline load

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations (Forces aériennes)
  • Aviation commerciale
CONT

Le bureau d'études a notamment tiré cette conclusion intéressante que des entrées d'air ventrales étaient à exclure sur un chasseur de petites dimensions parce qu'elles entraînaient un empattement trop court, des manœuvres au sol plus difficiles et des restrictions d'emport de charges ventrales, une signature radar plus indiscrète et une forte distorsion du flux dans le conduit d'entrée d'air coudé.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Transmission Systems
  • Air Transport
CONT

A trunnion mount permits the cylinder to swing as it reciprocates with a load that moves in a curved path. Trunnion-mounted cylinders help compensate for misalignment in one plane, trunnion mounts can be placed on the cap end..., head end..., or in an intermediate position, between the two cylinder ends.... The pivot centerline normally intersects the centerline of the cylinder.(Fluid Power Handbook Directory, 1986-1987 : Engineering Data, Directory Services, Manufacturers Catalogs, Local Sources. Hydraulics & Pneumatics, 1985, p. A/47)

OBS

trunnion mount: term(s) extracted from the "Disarmament and Peace Keeping" glossary with the permission of the United Nations Office at Geneva.

[Dans la fixation par tourillons, les tourillons] peuvent être disposés [...] dans la moitié avant du cylindre de vérin [ou] sur la culasse avant [côté tige du vérin. La] fixation par tourillons autorise la transmission de l'effort dans toutes les directions mais dans un seul plan. (DE GROOTE, J. P. Technologie de l'hydraulique, Paris, E.T.A.I., 1988, p. 235)

  • Steering Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Front suspension refinements include anti-lift geometry and revised shock valving to minimize front-end lift, increased caster angle to 3, suspension geometry that moves the theoretical steering pivot point toward the centerline of the tire, and redesigned lower suspension-arm bushing rates to control ball-joint and steering-arm position under shock load.
