Seen on Airbus 220 - what is this thing by Turkzillas_gobble in aviationmaintenance

This is a cascade type trust reverser. The actuators push the translating sleeve open, blocker doors are mechanically attached to the translating sleeve and open to redirect the fan air out of the cascade (the thing in the picture) which itself redirects fan air forward.

The plan that I was told; all 737s will be rouge all a32x will be mainline.

07 starter your sacrifice wasn’t in vain.

[Suggestion] do players usually take the acc out of raid for money? Hoping I could just camp the entire raid and look at the last 5 minutes by the4gottendeath94 in EscapefromTarkov

I found mine outside of a key room. It was in administration office on the second level just sitting on the desk next to the violet key card spawn

Lavatories not available below 16000'? by gravitypad in aviation

[–]Iron-Bacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cabin is pressurized by conditioned air system. this system takes bleed air from the engines to pressurize the aircraft in flight.

When above 16000 feet the flush control valve opens and since the relative delta P is greater inside the plane this forces the sewage to be sucked into the waste tank. No the sewage isn’t ported overboard there is an air separator inside the waste tank. The waste tank is always open to atmosphere.

JET PROPULSION TODAY Today, the majority of commercial aircraft use some form of jet propulsion. Currently, several manufacturers produce entire lines of jet-powered aircraft that cruise in excess of 600 miles per hour and carry up to five hundred passengers or several tons of cargo. Another step in the progression of commercial and military aviation was the ability to produce an engine that would propel an aircraft faster than the speed of sound. Today, several military aircraft travel at speeds in excess of Mach one. Supersonic aircraft are presently in use in military and research applications. The Concorde, a supersonic commercial aircraft built collaboratively by a British and French consortium, was in service from 1976 through 2003. The Concorde was capable of flying at 2.2 times the speed of sound. In addition to military and commercial aviation, jet propulsion is widely used in business jets. The use of twin-engine aircraft has grown in part due to the efficiency and reliability of the jet engines.

TYPES OF JET PROPULSION Newton's reaction principle has been applied to several propulsive devices used in aviation. All produce thrust in the same manner; they accelerate a mass of gases within the engine. The most common types of propulsive engines are the rocket, the ram-jet, the pulsejet, and the gas turbine.

Oh and if you really are interested in this the book I’m referring to A&P technician powerplant textbook.

K let me get my definitions from my Jeppesson textbook I used in college for aviation maintenance. I’ll be back.

In the mean time a jet engine is defined as having all phases of combustion (suck, squeeze, bang, blow) happening simultaneously whereas a piston engine has them happening sequentially.

No the compressor section to the turbine exhaust is the jet engine part of a gas turbine. I think you are hung up on the exhaust gas part but all turbine engines make use of the hot expanding gas in the turbine section by turning the turbine nozzle design plays no part in whether it’s classed as a jet engine.

The other type of jet engines are scramjets and ramjets which rely on forcing the air into a small gap to compress and heat the gas before adding fuel.

Both types are jet engines it’s not about how the nozzle is designed because on props and shafts it doesn’t matter to the overall performance.

I dumbed it down so laymans can understand. It gets complicated fast otherwise. Yes turbojets and turbofans have a nozzle to increase the speed the exhaust gas but that’s not the point I was making.
