  • Glider Handbook, Chapter 2: Components and Systems
    Chapter 2 Components and Systems Introduction Although gliders come in an array of shapes and sizes, the basic design features of most gliders are fundamentally the same. All gliders conform to the aerodynamic principles that make flight possible. When air flows over the wings of a glider, the wings produce a force called lift that allows the aircraft to stay aloft. Glider wings are designed to produce maximum lift with minimum drag. 2-1 Glider Design With each generation of new materials and development and improvements in aerodynamics, the performance of gliders The earlier gliders were made mainly of wood with metal has increased. One measure of performance is glide ratio. A fastenings, stays, and control cables. Subsequent designs glide ratio of 30:1 means that in smooth air a glider can travel led to a fuselage made of fabric-covered steel tubing forward 30 feet while only losing 1 foot of altitude. Glide glued to wood and fabric wings for lightness and strength. ratio is discussed further in Chapter 5, Glider Performance. New materials, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), and Kevlar® are now being used Due to the critical role that aerodynamic efficiency plays in to developed stronger and lighter gliders. Modern gliders the performance of a glider, gliders often have aerodynamic are usually designed by computer-aided software to increase features seldom found in other aircraft.

  • AP3456 the Central Flying School (CFS) Manual of Flying: Volume 4 Aircraft Systems
    AP3456 – 4-1- Hydraulic Systems CHAPTER 1 - HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS Introduction 1. Hydraulic power has unique characteristics which influence its selection to power aircraft systems instead of electrics and pneumatics, the other available secondary power systems. The advantages of hydraulic power are that: a. It is capable of transmitting very high forces. b. It has rapid and precise response to input signals. c. It has good power to weight ratio. d. It is simple and reliable. e. It is not affected by electro-magnetic interference. Although it is less versatile than present generation electric/electronic systems, hydraulic power is the normal secondary power source used in aircraft for operation of those aircraft systems which require large power inputs and precise and rapid movement. These include flying controls, flaps, retractable undercarriages and wheel brakes. Principles 2. Basic Power Transmission. A simple practical application of hydraulic power is shown in Fig 1 which depicts a closed system typical of that used to operate light aircraft wheel brakes. When the force on the master cylinder piston is increased slightly by light operation of the brake pedals, the slave piston will extend until the brake shoe contacts the brake drum. This restriction will prevent further movement of the slave and the master cylinder. However, any increase in force on the master cylinder will increase pressure in the fluid, and it will therefore increase the braking force acting on the shoes. When braking is complete, removal of the load from the master cylinder will reduce hydraulic pressure, and the brake shoe will retract under spring tension.

  • Do You Really Understand How Your Trim Works? Many Do Not, and Why It Matters
    Do you really understand how your trim works? Many do not, and why it matters. Alex Fisher - GAPAN Picture yourself in a conventional airliner, say a 737 of any generation. You have to do a low level go-around, perhaps because your fail passive Cat lll has just failed, er, passively. You apply GA thrust, and the aircraft pitches up. If you are low enough, you may already have some extra helpful nose up trim applied thanks to the ‘design feature’ 1. Conventional Trimming that ensures that in the event of AP failure at low level, the aircraft pitches up not down, and so a few units of nose up trim are applied late in the approach. Your speed is low, a. Initial trimmed state about V app and the thing is pitching firmly upward. You need ample forward stick/elevator to restrain it. You don’t Trim wheel want to carry this load for long so you retrim. Question: if you run the trim forward while maintaining forward pressure on the wheel, what happens? Hands up all those who think the load reduces to zero. I see a lot of hands. My unscientific polling to date suggests that just about everyone is convinced that this is what happens, but it doesn’t. b. Forward column… Nearly everyone of my generation trained on a Cessna 150 or a Piper PA28. You fly those aircraft by putting the attitude where you want it, holding it there by holding the stick rigid and retrimming until the load goes to zero. In fact if you didn’t do that, but were too quick and started trimming before the aircraft was stable, the instructor would exhibit a severe sense of humour failure.

  • Elevator Hinge Moment Design of N219-B12
    International Seminar on Aerospace Science And Technology III Elevator Hinge Moment Design of N219-B12 Mochamad Dady Ma’mun PhD 1) ,Muhammad Fajar ST 2) , Ir Yitno Dwi Astoto 1), Ir Wuryadi Kundarta 1), Ir Junitu Tikupasang 1) Indonesian Aerospace (IAe) 1) Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional (LAPAN) 2) Abstract The elevator hinge moment of N219-B12 was investigated based on the design criteria corresponded to the critical flight conditions for Stability and Control point of view. The criteria were adopted from Boeing criteria in its hinge moment design [1]. This criteria was not the only criteria in hinge moment design of aircraft, however, this criteria was implemented on N250-PA1 aircraft on its hinge moment design phase. In order to find the elevator hinge moment coefficients data, the wind tunnel testing was conducted in open jet type of subsonic wind tunnel LAPAN low speed tunnel. The model was 1: 6.3 scaled of an isolated half model of port horizontal tail plane (HTP) N219-B12 aircraft. The investigations showed that N219-B12 aircraft needed the servo tab to reduce the elevator stick force in order to meet the regulation of CASR 23 (commuter category aircraft) in its design. In addition, the servo tab and trim tab analyze were also described in this paper. Key Words: Wind Tunnel Test, Elevator Hinge Moment, Servo Tab, Trim Tab, 1. INTRODUCTION The N219 aircraft is a 19 seats twin-turboprop aircraft that can be operated in the region of aviation pioneer. This aircraft is unpressurized cabin which has maximum range of 840 nm (1554 km) and maximum operation speed of 210 knots.
