INCREASE THROTTLE [6 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Transmission Systems
  • Motorcycles and Snowmobiles
CONT

A quickshifter(or quick shifter) is a device that allows clutchless shifting on a manual transmission, and is commonly found on motorcycles. It can increase the safety and comfort of the vehicle since it eliminates the need to use the clutch or throttle before and after a gearshift.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The reverse thrust system provides means of decelerating aircraft during the landing roll, thus reducing landing roll length. The thrust reverser units are attached at the turbine outlet case of each engine.... The reversers are controlled by reverse thrust levers and operated by 13th stage engine bleed air. When not in use, the reversers are held in the locked position by 13th stage air and a mechanical lock. Each engine throttle has an additional handle which is used to actuate the thrust reversers. The reverse thrust lever pivots about a point near to the top of the throttle. If reverse trust is required, the throttle must be retarded to closed and then the reverse thrust lever must be pulled up. Further aft movement of the lever will increase reverse thrust.

CONT

Après le toucher, [le pilote] tira précautionneusement la manette d'inversion de poussée du n° 2 jusqu'à l'inversion maximale.

OBS

Dans le domaine aéronautique, [...] l'inversion de poussée est un dispositif permettant d'orienter vers l'avant la poussée exercée par un moteur à hélice ou à réaction dans le but de ralentir l'avion et de reduire les distances lors de l'atterrissage. L'inversion de poussée est surtout utilisée sur les avions civils, ou sur les avions militaires qui en sont dérivés (avions de transport, ravitailleurs, etc...), mais elle équipe également quelques avions de combat comme le Tornado ou le SAAB 37 Viggen.

OBS

manette : Clef, levier, poignée commandant un mécanisme et que l'on manœuvre à la main.

Exxon Instrument Oil is a low-viscosity rust-inhibited petroleum-base instrument oil with excellent low-temperature characteristics. It contains additives to inhibit oxidation and to increase load-carrying capacity. [It] is recommended as a general squirt-can lubricant for airframe components and precision devices including elevator, rudder and aileron hinge bearings; throttle and propeller controls; brake linkages; parking brake bearings and latches; and cabin door hinges...

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Simulators (Aeroindustry)
CONT

Engineering Cockpit Simulator consists of a transport aircraft cockpit with all instrumentation and flight dynamics driven by a network of high-end graphics workstations. The software can simulate nearly any commercial transport aircraft, using five networked graphics computer machines, including an out-the-window display. Classified as a flight-training device, the simulator uses high-resolution, computer-generated images, to graphically depict airplane controls and displays that are located on the forward instrument panel. To increase fidelity, some aircraft components are installed, including throttle quadrant, flight mode control panel, flight management systems, control yokes, landing gear handle assembly, and rudder pedals.

CONT

BOEING 747 ENGINEERING COCKPIT SIMULATOR (ECS). ... The ECS uses a software package distributed by CTA Simulation Systems called Mission Simulator Software (MSS) to model flight dynamics and depict aircraft instruments. Out of the window (OTW) scenery is generated using Microsoft Flight Simulator with an infinity optics display system. The software is flexible, allowing the simulation of nearly any commercial transport aircraft.
