Refueling with passengers on board, embarking and disembarking on an aircraft is a relatively safe operation, however, the possibility of an accident is always there. Many instances of fuel spillage…
Fly-By-Wire is a system that regulates the flight controls by electrical wires and computers. Fly-by-wire (FBW) replaces all the conventional mechanical linkages like cables, rods, pulleys, etc by an electronic…
The aircraft fuel system stores and supplies fuel to the engines and the APU. Aviation fuel is used to convert into heat energy and then kinetic energy in the aero…
Aviation fuel is a special type of petroleum-based fuel used for aircraft propulsion. Aviation fuels must: Be non-corrosive.Be pumpable.Be self-lubricating.Permit quick starting of the engine.Be resistant to fungus growth.Have a…
The Aircraft Electrical System makes, supplies, and controls electrical power to aircraft. The complete system can be considered to be made up of different equipment circuits and power supply circuits.…
The autopilot controls the aircraft using servos. The autopilot system is capable of keeping aircraft stabilized in all three axes laterally, longitudinally, and vertically. Early autopilot systems did this function…
The aircraft cannot fly with faults, it must be fixed before takeoff. You may think that this is such a complex and time-consuming task, but let me tell you that…
Hydraulic system liquids are used primarily to transmit and distribute forces to various units to be actuated. Liquids are able to do this because they are almost incompressible. Purposes of…
Aircraft Hydraulic System is a complex system that provides a means for the operation of aircraft components. The most frequent applications for aircraft hydraulic systems are flight control surfaces, landing gear, thrust reversers, and brakes.
