English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

In the case of a twin-engine aircraft, a configuration featuring one single propeller driven by two engines mounted side-by-side will eliminate any risk of yaw should one engine fail, and improve the aircraft's handling when reverse pitch is engaged on landing.

OBS

The pitch with a negative blade angle.

OBS

reverse pitch: term officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Opinions concerning the operational behaviour of engine controls pinpointed the fact that individual engines exhibited differing acceleration characteristics; this could result in unbalanced thrust and consequent yaw moments developing in such critical situations as applying reverse thrust on an icy runway.

OBS

yawing moment: term officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

  • Constructions aéronautiques
