Record 5 2010-07-14

English

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.

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.
