Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Airframe
OBS

flap: A hinged, pivoted, or sliding airfoil or plate, normally located at the trailing edge of a wing, extended or deflected to increase the lift and/or drag, generally used at takeoff or landing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
CONT

Les commandes de vol sont contrôlées à partir du poste [de pilotage] par [...] la manette de volets [...]

OBS

La structure des volets hypersustentateurs, au demeurant, rappelle celle des gouvernes de vol. [...] La fixation sur la voilure peut être obtenue : soit par une simple articulation (volets pivotants) pour les volets d'intrados et de courbure; soit par des biellettes permettant des mouvements de rotation et de recul (volet de courbure à fente); soit par des glissières et chariots (volets roulants), solution mécanique plus délicate et plus lourde mais qui permet pour chaque braquage de réaliser l'augmentation de surface et la fente entre voilure et volet qui a été jugée optima par les aérodynamiciens.

OBS

levier de commande volets; levier volets : termes uniformisés par les Comités d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes et Maintenance.

Record 3 2003-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Model and Figure Making (Hobbies)
DEF

... model aeroplane ... tethered by fine wires or cables (the lines) so that it is forced to fly in a circle.

CONT

Control-line model airplanes are flown in a circle, attached to a handle by a set of lines. The pilot can control the flight of the model by manipulating the handle. Flying model airplanes on lines has a long and illustrious history. The earliest attempts at "control-line" used one line attached to a long pole. The pilot would cause the airplane to climb or dive by "leading" it with the pole. The person usually credited with inventing the now widely used two line system is Jim Walker, who came up with the idea sometime in the 30s or 40s. The two line system(often referred to a "U-Control", and used on perhaps 99% of control line models) uses a triangular bellcrank to transfer the movement of the wires to the pushrod, connected to the elevator and/or flap control horns. Some Speed flyers use "monoline", which is a system that utilizes line twisting for control.

CONT

Bellcrank: The pivoted wood, metal, or plastic arm which converts the motion of the control lines to up-and-down movement of the elevators in a control line model aeroplane.

Key term(s)

Domaine(s)
  • Construction de maquettes (Passe-temps)
OBS

Le vol circulaire commandé. Dans cette catégorie, les modèles équipés de moteurs, en général thermiques, sont pilotés avec deux câbles en acier de longueur bien déterminée, munis d'une poignée permettant d'actionner la commande de profondeur. L'action de monter ou descendre fera donc évoluer le modèle dans un volume semi-sphérique, centré sur le pilote. Pour ce type de modèles, il existe toutes sortes de possibilités : - La voltige [;] - Le combat [;] - Le «Team-Racing» [...]
