English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
DEF

An [horizontal] airfoil placed at the rear end of the fuselage to balance the [aircraft] and provide longitudinal stability.

OBS

tailplane; tail plane: terms standardized by ISO.

OBS

tail plane: term officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Association (ICAO).

OBS

The terms "stabilizer" and "stabiliser" are frequently used as a synonym of "horizontal stabilizer," but stabilizers can be horizontal or vertical.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
DEF

Plan aérodynamique [horizontal], situé à l'arrière du fuselage, servant à équilibrer l'avion et à assurer ainsi la stabilité longitudinale.

OBS

plan fixe horizontal : terme uniformisé par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).

OBS

Le terme «stabilisateur» est souvent employé comme synonyme de «plan fixe horizontal», mais les stabilisateurs peuvent être horizontaux ou verticaux.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

The empennage is also called the tail section and most aircraft designs consist of a tail cone, fixed surfaces, and movable surfaces. The tail cone serves to close and streamline the aft end of most fuselages. The cone is made up of structural members like those of the fuselage; however, cones are usually of lighter construction since they receive less stress than the fuselage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
CONT

L'empennage est constitué du cône de queue, des surfaces fixes et des surfaces mobiles. Le cône de queue sert à fermer le fuselage et à profiler la partie arrière. Étant donné que très peu de contraintes y sont appliquées, sa construction est plus légère que celle du fuselage. Sur les avions légers, c'est le plus souvent un cône amovible en fibre de verre.

OBS

cône arrière : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.

OBS

cône arrière; cône de queue; pointe arrière : termes uniformisés par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 3 2010-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
DEF

A compression rib at the root of an aerofoil, or at the point of attachment to the centre section of a wing.

CONT

The wing butt rib is normally the heavily stressed rib section at the inboard end of the wing near the attachment point to the fuselage. Depending on its location and method of attachment, a butt rib may be called a bulkhead rib or a compression rib, if it is designed to receive compression loads that tend to force the wing spars together.

OBS

root rib: term standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • wing root rib

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
OBS

nervure : Élément d'aile placé dans le sens du déplacement de l'avion et conférant à l'aile le profil aérodynamique choisi par l'ingénieur.

OBS

emplanture : Zone de raccordement de l'aile au fuselage.

OBS

nervure d'emplanture : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

OBS

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

CONT

The(Hydraulic) Service Center is an unpressurized compartment in the lower fuselage between the main landing gear wheel wells. System A and B components are on the LH [left-hand] sidewall and system C and D components are on the RH [right-hand] side. All reservoir and accumulator servicing can be performed within the center. Access to the center is through either of two doors at the forward or aft end.

  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Telecommunications
CONT

For the receiver, Garrison and Katzberg used a commercially available GPS-development kit, which included a 12-channel correlator chip fed by two radio-frequency(RF) front ends. They employed a zenith-oriented RHCP antenna mounted on top of an aircraft fuselage to receive the direct signal through one RF front end. A nadir-oriented LHCP antenna located on the bottom of the fuselage received the reflected signal through the other RF front end.

Key term(s)
  • radio frequency front end

CONT

Le parc d'antennes d'une superficie d'environ 380 m² (4 066 pi. ca.) comprend des services dans les bandes C et Ku avec liaisons ascendantes vers les satellites Anik. La grandeur des huit antennes varie de 2,4 mètres avec tête RF décentrée jusqu'à 8 mètres pour le système de repérage à impulsion simple.
