問題一覧

airplane propelled by the forward thrust of an engine that ejects a rearward jet of air, gas, or liquid, at extremely high velocity through the Nozzle. They have no propellers to accelerate a large mass of air.

Jet

any weight-carrying device designed to be supported by air, either by buoyancy or by dynamic action.

Aircraft

Landing gears which may be withdrawn into or folded inside the body wings of an airplane while in flight in order to reduce drag or resistance.

Retractable Landing Gears

a hinged movable portion of the wings, the primary function of which is to impress a rolling motion of the airplane. It is a part of the trailing edge.

Airleron

main body of an airplane where the wings are attached. It also houses the crew, passengers, and cargo.

Fuselage

tassel-like cords on the trailing edge of wing tips and elevator used to eliminate static electricity in radio receivers.

Static Eliminators

movable portion of the wing, which forms the lower trailing edge when retracted. When extended, it tends to decrease air speed on descent and increase the lift.

Flaps

general term used to describe one of the main support structures of the airplane, which is, designed to develop a major part of the lift of the airplane.

Wings

form of aircraft that is heavier than air, has wing surface, rudders for steering, and a power plant for propulsion through the air.

Airplane

airplanes with propellers driven by turbine power.

Turbo Prop

leading most portion of the wing.

leading edge

rearmost portion of the wing.

Trailing edge

leading most area of the airplane.

nose

located on the right aileron, rudder, and each elevator. They are manually controlled and are used to balance the airplane load.

Trim Tabs

the downward pull on the airplane.

Gravity

movable surface hinged to the horizontal stabilizer which controls the up and down movement of the aircraft.

Elevator

assembly of blades, which provides the force that drives the airolane forward when rotated

Propellers

cone-shaped structure located on each side of the fuselage, which supports the engine and houses the landing gear.

Nacelle

controllable louver for regulation of the airflow through the engine cowling.

Cowl Flaps

science that deals with motion of air and other gaseous fluids and of the forces acting on solids in motion in the air.

Aerodynamics

friction of air over the airplanes surfaces which tends to hold back the plane.

Drag

located immediately in front of elevators. Used to lift and stabilize the empennage vertically

Horizontal Stabilizer

power of engines and propellers tending to pull the airplane forward.

Thrust

gives the position and direction of movement of the plane.

Running Lights

Used for radio reception and transmission.

Antennas

removable metal covering which extends over and around the engine.

Cowling

hinged or movable surface through which the direction of the flight may be changed to left or right.

Rudder

fixed vertical mounting for the rudder. Used to stabilize or control the empennage vertically

Vertical Stabilizer

used to illuminate the ground for landing at night.

Landing Lights

one small red light found on top of the aircraft.

anti collision

wind that blows without any marked regularity.

variable wind

change of attitude from left to right.

bank

force that pulls the plane upward. Lift is created by the design of the wing, which results in a difference in air pressure between the top and underside of the wing, thus causing a sucking motion that lifts the plane upward.

Lift

To fly beyond a designated mark or area, such as a landing field during landing.

Overshoot

An atmospheric condition caused by vertically ascending and descending air currents When an airplane experiences sudden decrease in lift, it is in a region of descending air or down draft. This is also called bumpiness.

Turbulance

wind that pushes the airplane, coming from the rear, thus increasing the ground speed of the airplane.

Tail Wind

condition where several airplanes are cruising above an airport at different altitudes awaiting their turn to land

stack up

the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

velocity

vertical distance measured in feet above sea level.

altitude

wind that comes from either side of the airplane and blows across its part, thus causing the plane to drift off course

cross wind

term applied to a condition where the propeller blade edges are turned parallel to the line of flight. The equal pressure on both sides of the blades stops the propeller and so stops the

full feathering

landing short of the landing field.

undershoot

wind that comes towards the nose of the airplane, thus retarding its movement.

head wind

the maximum altitude at which an airplane will fly.

ceiling

the method of maintaining-air pressure inside the airplane below that of the actual altitude of the flight.

pressurization

the greatest distance towards the horizon at which conspicuous objects can be seen and identified by unaided eyes.

visibility

the condition when the engine is being tested before its initial flight. A backfire may occur if the engines are not yet fully warmed to the proper temperature

warm up

left side of the aircraft, facing the flight deck.

port side

mechanical instrument operated by gyro-instruments and controllers by the pilot, which can keep the plane in a normal flight automatically. It cannot be used for take-off and landings.

auto-pilot

right side of the aircraft, facing the flight deck.right side of the aircraft, facing the flight deck.

starboard side
