Record 3 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

fire control handle : term officially approved by the Aeronautical Terminology Standardization Committee (ATSC) - Helicopters.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
DEF

Normally applied to aeroplanes and gliders only and usually meaning that there is no separate horizontal stabilizing or control surface, though there may be a vertical tail.

OBS

[This type of aircraft consists] of a single wing without conventional fuselage or tail, housing cargo and personnel within the wing structure, and achieving stability and control by means of vertical external surfaces mounted on the wing tips or booms attached to the wing.

OBS

tailless aeroplane: term standardized by ISO.

Domaine(s)

En fonction de la forme, on distingue, en sus de l'avion classique, l'avion-canard et l'avion sans queue, qui ne comporte aucun empennage horizontal [...]

OBS

Se dit uniquement des avions et des planeurs sans stabilisateur horizontal ni gouverne, mais pouvant comporter un empennage vertical.

Record 5 2005-10-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Safety
CONT

Using the latest pneumatic technologies, the Centralised Air Control Module is a safer and more efficient way of inflating the Airbags and controlling the lifting operation.... The Centralised Air Control Module is the first Aircraft lifting system to allow a single operator, the ability to control the recovery of an Aircraft. The complications of communicating instructions over large areas, and synchronising the other recovery personnel are eliminated. The operator can view the pressures of all the Airbags, from fuselage to outer wing, using the pressure gauges on the control panel, giving the operator complete confidence and control over the recovery situation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité (Transport aérien)
CONT

Les préoccupations croissantes qui entourent la sécurité du personnel et la rapidité de relevage d'aéronefs sont devenues d'importants sujets d'actualité qui ont conduit AMS Systems Engineering à concevoir et à mettre au point un module de commande pneumatique centralisé. Grâce aux dernières technologies de la pneumatique, ce module offre un moyen plus sûr et plus efficace de gonflement des [coussins gonflables] et de maîtrise du levage.

Record 6 1988-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
CONT

The system is based on a special landing gear called a jump strut, which works by giving the aircraft the proper attitude for take-off,.... First, the system extends the nose gear, raising the nose. A few milliseconds later, the main gear is activated(’jumps’) in its turn, increasing the distance between wheels and fuselage, while rotation continues. After a vertical leap of some 6ft, the aircraft slows and descends slightly because of the increased drag at the higher angle of attack. Finally, and virtually without a pause, the aircraft resumes its climb.... The jump strut is extended under pilot control by a nitrogen-charged actuator. Once fired, it is immediately vented to atmosphere to enable the gear to resume its normal shock-attenuating function should the take-off run have to be aborted.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

The [stall warning] system consists of a stall warning tone generator, two angle-of-attack transducers, two flap position transmitters, two stall warning computers, and dual control column shakers, audio recognition, and signal annunciators.... The angle-of-attack transducers are installed on the left and right sides of the fuselage at station 285. The transducers provide an electric signal proportional to the angle-of-attack of the airplane. Upward motion of the trailing edge of the vane produces an increasing angle.
