AAET – 1st Sec.2
Different Aircraft System and their Components
Electric - An Aircraft Electrical System is a self contained network of components that generate, transmit, distribute, utilize and store electrical energy.
Hydraulic- The complexity of any hydraulic system used on aircraft depends largely on the functions it needs to perform. If designed for wheel brakes only or to extend/retract the landing gear, this will result in a more or less complex system.
Oxygen- Aircraft emergency oxygen systems are emergency equipment fitted to pressurized commercial aircraft, intended for use when the cabin pressurisation system has failed and the cabin altitude has climbed above a safe level. It consists of a number of individual oxygen masks stored in compartments above passenger seats, and some form of central oxygen generator.
Fuel- An aircraft fuel system enables fuel to be loaded, stored, managed and delivered to the propulsion system (engine(s)) of an aircraft
Propulsion- An engine used or intended to be used for propelling aircraft. It includes super-chargers, appurtenances, and accessories necessary for its functioning but does not include propellers. The main types of aircraft engines are reciprocating, gas turbine, turboprop, fan-jets, and ramjets. Normally referred to as an aero engine.
Flight Control- A conventional fixed-wing aircraft flight control system consists of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft's direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered as flight controls as they change speed.
The fundamentals of aircraft controls are explained in flight dynamics. This article canters on the operating mechanisms of the flight controls. The basic system in use on aircraft first appeared in a readily recognizable form as early as
