Record 5 2010-09-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

A former is a structural member of an aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the roll axis of the aircraft. The formers establish the shape of the fuselage. Formers are typically attached to longerons which support the skin of the aircraft.

OBS

The vertical members of the fuselage frame are called frames, or bulkheads. Between the principal vertical members are lighter former, or rings, to maintain the uniform shape of the structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
CONT

Les couples jouent dans le fuselage le même rôle que les nervures dans la voilure, ils assurent : — le maintien du profil (circulaire, ovoïde, ou bi-lobé); — la rigidité transversale; — le support d'efforts locaux importants. On trouve, sur un même fuselage, deux types de couples : — les couples courants assurant le maintien de la forme générale du fuselage et le raidissage transversal; — les couples forts [...] Les couples courants sont réalisés à partir de profilés ou de tôle d'alliage léger pliée dont une aile ou des bords tombés permettent la liaison au revêtement.

OBS

[...] en français, on appelle «cadre» ou «couple» les éléments transversaux du fuselage, qu'ils soient de forme circulaire ou ovoïde.

Record 8 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.
