ATTAQUE CABRE [4 records]

Record 1 2011-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

Stall. Occurs when the wings are no longer capable of producing sufficient lift to counteract the effect of gravity on the aircraft’s mass. Symptoms of an Approaching Stall: - loss of horizon; - reduced wind noise; - dropping of indicated airspeed; - slack controls, and; - buffeting (vibrations, may be absent during flight in precipitation).

Key term(s)
  • slack controls
  • sloppy controls

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Comme l'avion était en pilotage automatique, l'équipage de conduite n’ a remarqué aucun signe de décrochage imminent ni aucun signe de réduction de la vitesse, comme une augmentation du cabré, des changements d’assiette, une augmentation de l'angle d’attaque et des commandes molles.

Key term(s)
  • commandes molles

Record 2 1997-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
DEF

A method of bombing where an aircraft flies on a line towards the target, pulls up in a vertical plane, releasing the bomb at an angle that will compensate for the effect of gravity drop on the bomb. Similar to loft bombing; unrestricted as to altitude.

Record 4 1986-11-25

English

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

The basic elements of much of the new technology can already be seen in operation. They include intelligent flight control in which, for example, simple stall warning devices and stick pushers are replaced by a flight control sub-system which positively controls angle of attack, applies engine power to maintain height or flight speed, and actively maintains the aircraft in the correct altitude for optimum performance if a full nose-up demand is maintained for a protracted period.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

On peut déjà voir en application les éléments de base d’une grande partie des technologies nouvelles, notamment les commandes de vol intelligentes dans lesquelles, par exemple, les simples avertisseurs de décrochage et pousseurs de manche sont remplacés par un sous-système de conduite de vol, qui contrôle l'angle d’attaque, règle le régime du moteur pour maintenir l'altitude ou la vitesse de vol et maintient activement l'assiette de l'appareil, de manière à obtenir les meilleures performances lorsqu'un cabré est exigé pendant une période prolongée.

Key term(s)
  • commande de vol intelligente
