IDG ( integrated drive generator) is a Electrical generator which provides Electricity for the Aircraft. IDG provides electrical power for All the aircraft systems. It consists a generator and a Constant Speed Drive (CSD). The generator uses the kinetic Energy of the Aircraft Engines and convert it into Electrical energy. CSD coverts variable input of the engine … Read more
APU – AIRBORNE AUXILIARY POWER General description and operation.The airborne auxiliary power is obtained from a gas turbine auxiliary power unit (APU). The APU is a compact, self-contained unit that provides compressed air for engine starting on the ground. The unit provides compressed air for air conditioning while the airplane is on the ground and … Read more
how does an Aircraft fly? That is an interesting question.? An flying aircraft is subject to four forces. Weight which pointing towards the center of gravity. thrust – a force move the aircraft forward acts the direction of flight. drag – force that oppose the aircraft’s movement through the air. and LIFT lift is … Read more
INTRODUCTION The atmosphere consists of a number of gasses, the composition being called air. It surrounds the earth extending upwards for about 500 miles. Commencing from the earths surface there are a number of concentric layers of air, the first of these layers being known as the TROPOSPHERE which extends to a height of -approximately … Read more
