ANGLE OF INCIDENCE ℹ️ℹ️ Angle of incidence is the angle between the longitudunal axis of aircraft and wing chord line. If the angle of incidence is increasing from wing’s root to tip, this design is called «wash in» design. If angle of incidence is decreasing from wing root to tip, this design called «wash out» , this design is increasing aircraft stability.

NTSB: All 12 stop fittings disengaged on Alaska plane door plug causing blowout The National Transport Safety Board (NTSB) has shared initial findings from its investigation into flight 1282. The NTSB revealed that the door plug of the B737-9 MAX aircraft blew out of the fuselage due to the disengagement of all 12 stops and fractures in the guide tracks on the plug. The investigation is ongoing to determine the presence of the restraining bolts. The NTSB is also seeking information from the public about the door plug's bottom hinge fitting and a spring. The NTSB found no discrepancies during the examination of the right door plug in its installed position but plans to conduct another inspection in the maintenance position. The NTSB has possession of the door plug and will conduct further examinations in their lab. Additionally, the NTSB stated that there is currently no indication of a correlation between the decompression incident and previous alarms. The NTSB also highlighted that the cockpit door was designed to open during rapid decompression, and Boeing will need to update the B737-9 MAX manual to inform the flight crew about this feature. #aeronautique #aviation #avgeek #plane #aircraft #avion #ww #pilot #instaaviation #warbird #aeronautical #a #aviationphotography #aerospace #aviationlover #history #fanaviation #historicfootage #historicpictures #warbirds #aviators #aviationphoto #airbus #aviationfan #avgeeksaero #aviationfans #flightsimulation #simulator #aviationforever #airplane#aviation  #flightsafety #safety #airlines #EthiopianAirlines

The Vought V-173 had an unusual planform that led it to be dubbed “The Flying Pancake.” This experimental aircraft had a flat, disk-like shape with two 80HP Continental engines buried in the fuselage (such as it was) that drove two large propellors on the wingtips. It was made of wood and canvas and had symmetric NACA 0015 airfoil. Ordinarily, such a small aspect ratio (about 1.3), one would expect a large amount of induced drag due to tip vortices, but the propellors rotated in the opposite direction, effectively cancelling them out. For pitch control, the aircraft used all-moving stabilators. Flight testing started in 1942 in Connecticut and continued through 1947, ending after 190 flights. One person who flew it was Charles Lindbergh, who found it easy to handle and almost impossible to stall. The aircraft still exists and is at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, TX. Although the program proved the feasibility of the aircraft, it never entered development. #airfoil #aspectratio #induceddrag #tipvortices #pitch #stabilators #stall #aeronautics #aviationhistory #aviationhistoryanddoodles

A hot air balloon is a lighter-than-air aircraft consisting of a bag, called an envelope, which contains heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket that carries the pilot, passengers and a controlled source of heat. In most cases, the heat source is an open flame caused by burning liquid propane. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant, since it has a lower density than the cooler air outside the envelope. In modern balloons, the envelope is generally made from nylon fabric and the inlet of the balloon, which is closest to the burner flame, is made from a fire-resistant material such as Nomex. Modern balloons have been made in many shapes, such as rocket ships and the shapes of various commercial products, though the traditional shape is used for most non-commercial applications.

These days, Cirrus Aircraft is best known for their Vision SF50 single-engine very light jet (VLJ), but they have another very successful line of small piston-powered planes too. In fact, their SR22 has been the best-selling general aviation (GA) airplane every year since 2003. The SR22 first flew in 2001 and was itself an upgraded version of the company’s SR20. Both models seat up to five people and run on a single six-cylinder piston engine. The cabin is cramped but modern. Since 2003, Cirrus models have come with a glass cockpit as standard – the first GA light aircraft to do so. The planes are also fitted with the CAPS or Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. In engine-out situations or other major emergencies, the parachute may be deployed to return the entire aircraft safely to the ground. Though minor injuries and damage to the airframe may come with it, that’s a huge improvement over a fatal crash. As of 2018, at least 79 emergency CAPS deployments had been reported, saving as many as 163 lives. If you’ve got a civil aircraft in need of an upgrade, whether it’s a small Cirrus or a huge BBJ, give us at Luminary Air Group a shout! We do work on all manner of aircraft interiors, from the purely functional to the supremely opulent. Tell our engineers what you need, and we’ll set you up! #aircraftinteriors #refurbishment #cabincomfortsystem #noisereduction #luxuryaircraft

LM Guide Model SR are used in the seat sliding mechanism of small aircraft. Because the floors in aircraft are generally made from sheet metal, measuring errors relating to mounting sections are common, and mounting can be a lengthy process. Because Model SR have excellent error absorbing capabilities, they can be mounted directly on the floor of aircraft, reducing the work required for assembly. In addition, THK's Miniature LM Guide Model RSR move smoothly and without play but are compact enough to use in seat footrests.

As industry leaders in Aerospace products, we are proud to say our Coated Cables contribute to the safety and performance of an aircraft. Let’s examine some of the ways our cables cater to this mission critical industry. - Flight control – flight controls such as ailerons, elevators and rudders, which control a plane's direction, ascension and descension use Coated Cables to control these aircraft parts based on control inputs from the cockpit. - Landing gear – deploying or retracting landing gear is assisted by Coated Cables supporting the landing gear materials, ensuring take offs and landings are done safely. - Engine controls – many of the intricate parts of an airplane engine have Coated Cables within them, to transmit signals from the cockpit. The corrosion resistance and strength of our Coated Cables allow for effective use in all these aerospace applications. The next time you see a plane in the sky, you’re probably looking at some CWI product.

Fly-around Inspection checklist for Aircraft, before Takeoff 🛫 Performing a thorough fly-around inspection of an aircraft before takeoff is a critical aspect of aviation safety. This checklist ensures that all essential components are in proper working order, minimizing the risk of mechanical failures during flight. Pilots and ground crew should follow this checklist to maintain the highest standards of safety and operational integrity. 1. Exterior Inspection: a. Fuselage; * Check for any signs of damage, dents, or cracks * Ensure access panels are securely closed. b. Wings; * Check wingtips for security and integrity. c. Tail; * Examine the vertical and horizontal stabilizers for damage * Check the control surfaces for freedom of movement. d. Landing Gear; * Inspect tires for proper inflation and signs of wear. e. Engine; * Check engine cowling for security and any signs of leaks * Verify that intake and exhaust areas are clear of debris. f. Propeller; * Look for nicks, scratches or other damage on the blades * Check spinner for security and integrity.

Sharing #intent information can significantly enhance #safety and #performance of #multi-aircraft systems. This crucial aspect has not been fully integrated into existing #aircraft collision avoidance systems. Model Predictive Control (#MPC), with its anticipatory nature, offers a clear pathway to incorporate aircraft intent information into the control strategies. In our recent paper, we explored an efficient robust MPC approach, utilizing a scenario-tree system realization, that includes this intent information shared between aircraft, specifically designed to improve the effectiveness of aircraft collision avoidance systems.
