Rebecca Lougheed Rebecca is a First Officer based in Gatwick on the Boeing 787. Before that she flew the A340, A380 and briefly the A330, and before that the Avro RJ85. She misses having 4 engines, but likes Airbus and Boeing equally. She hopes to share her love of the adventures, c...
In an aerodynamic sense, I found that this location worked very well for minimal rudder to elevator mixing values and when using various size battery packs. Of course, changing the height location of the battery does play a huge role when it comes time to properly trim your model for knife...
High-qualityflight simulator flight controlsmimic the cockpit environment, allowing users to interact realistically with aircraft systems. These controls typically include ayokeorjoystick,rudder pedals, andthrottle quadrant, which can be customized to mirror those found in different aircraft types. Modern ...
Plane crashes rarely happen in real life the same way they happen in the movies. Some engine part does not explode in a fiery bang. The rudder doesn’t suddenly snap under the force of takeoff. The captain doesn’t gasp as he’s thrown back against his seat. ...
If the plane needs to turn from the X axis to the Z axis without changing the orientation of its body, it can do a yaw by using its rudder so the wings remain horizontal while the nose starts to point to the Z axis. Finally, since it is often assumed that the X orientation is ...
Azipod is a marine propulsion system combining a propeller and a rudder, offering 360-degree rotation for superior maneuverability. Azimuth refers to an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system, used for navigation and astronomy.
My takeaway is that you need to consider the actual weight of the plane in reference to the published figures – it does affect you flight characteristics. The 1G argument is just a sideshow and has very little to do with the content of the article. The point is that at 1G full weight...
That software was triggered based on a single point of failure, while the plane has two angle of attack sensors it only used data from one at a time. Planes are built now to more or less fly themselves, this one couldn’t do that properly when a sensor failed. The results were tragic...
Glider pilots know that best glide speed for distance covered over the ground varies with wind: faster into the wind, slower downwind. AOA indicators do not permit this compensation. And in the very high-tech world of competition sailplanes, they are not equipped with AOA indicators. ...
