AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM The Purpose of a Fuel System A fuel system purpose is to store‚ transfer‚ and then to mix the fuel with air. The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air‚ vaporized‚ and burned to produce energy. As everyone knows‚ an internal combustion engine needs fuel to operate. Fuel is delivered to the engine by means of the fuel system. The fuel system must be self-contained and efficient so that it will properly energize

The piston engines were used to rotate the fans at high speeds which provide the thrust for the aircraft to move forward. Since the thrust that could be developed by the piston engine is limited‚ they cannot be used in aircrafts that need high speed and thrust. Hence‚ piston engines are mostly restricted to training flights and slow flights. There were many modifications like the supercharger that were added to the piston engine which provided extras thrust to the existing engines. The supercharger

Aircraft Pressurization System Airplanes‚ which do not have pressurization and air conditioning systems‚ are usually limited to the lower altitudes. They need to stay below 8‚000 feet. A cabin pressurization system accomplishes several functions in providing passengers comfort and safety. It maintains a cabin pressure altitude of approximately 8‚000 feet at the maximum designed cruising altitude of the airplane‚ and prevents rapid changes of cabin altitude‚ which may be dangerous to the passengers

Designing a Safer Passenger Aircraft Introduction to air safety: Aircrafts have become more advanced and fast‚ but they are drastically affected by ignorance and design incapability. However these structures can fly with more than 200 passengers and heavy cargo‚ but when they crash‚ they take away with them many lives and damage valuable property. To prevent such loses several aviation safety agencies like EASA(European Aviation Safety Agency) and FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) have been

Aircraft structures Abstract: The aircraft structure is an important part where the structure of an aircraft depends on the optimum requirement of the customer and the environments in which it will be going to fly for the major time. It has to go several checks at regular interval of flying hours under proper inspection. This paper contains the basic information regarding the components of an aircraft and the basic concept of its design. The main criteria of design and its philosophy is the

I. LANDING GEAR SAFETY DEVICES Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that will sound when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally‚ the horn is linked to the throttle or flap position‚ and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed‚configuration‚ or power setting with the gear retracted‚ the warning horn will sound. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by
