This is possible due to the adoption of the ‘joined wing’ layout. The 40° swept back wings are joined towards their tips to tail mounted, swept forward wings. The radar system is mounted on the wing surfaces to provide nearly all-round scanning. The aircraft, which is designed to fly...
The subject of this study includes mechanical failures of aircraft engine CHs that are very demanding in terms of complexity of exact determining of their failure causes. First, fractures often occur due to simultaneous action of several factors. Second, a crack initiates from multiple origins and,...
When a crash occurs, the resultant ejection of the case from the tail due to a failure of the shear pin releases the free end of the antenna which automatically uncoils due to its spring-like nature. The accompanying separation of the connector effects closing of the transmitter key and ...
The first parameter number on each line specifies the weight (in pounds), followed by the offset relative to datum reference point. The addition of stations results in a corresponding change in aircraft flight dynamics due to the change of the total weight and moments of inertia. Airbus A321(...
Engine failure during takeoff During a takeoff, the aircraft flies at a low-speed, high thrust regime. A combination that results in the least amount of control effectiveness. Due to this reason, the pilots are required to be precise with the flight controls. During takeoff, there exists a...
I'm not trained in large aircraft but am an instrument rated pilot so can share generalities. Pilots are definitely trained to fly without accurate airspeed or altimeter indications. I've actually had an in-flight altimeter failure due to water getting into the static air port during a foggy ...
Restraint: eVTOL aircraft crash due to failure in software The occurrence of EVTOL aircraft crashes resulting from software failures serves as a significant restraint for the EVTOL market. The reliance on complex software systems for flight control and autonomous operations introduces a potential vulnerabi...
The Captain decided to divert to Takamatsu Airport. Main battery discharge and abnormal voltage of the main battery bus were detected. (MAIN_BATTERY_DISCH, ELEC_HOT_BATTERY_BUS) The airplane declared a state of emergency due to smoke requesting a radar vector to Takamatsu Airport and emergency ...
However, in dealing with difficult-to-machine material such as composite, various considerations need to be taken into account. This is due to direct contact between tool and workpiece—the tool undergoes extreme wear and creates a great amount of heat, which induces residual stress that leads ...
the failure to meet specification is due to the loss of metal from the component or structure (Fig. 2). This loss can occur through corrosion, wear, erosion or impact. These replaced components or repaired structures can have a significant price tag and adversely affect aircraft availability and...
