A pitot tube is a pressure measurement instrument used to measure fluid flow velocity. It is widely used to determine the airspeed of an aircraft, water speed of a boat, and to measure liquid, air and gas flow velocities in industrial applications. The pitot tube is used to measure the local flow velocity at a … Read more
Boeing uses a desgin called Raked wingtips. Boeng 787, Boeing 767 and boeing 747- 800 uses the same design. All these aircrafts are capable of flying ultra long distance. This wing tip design is known as Raked wing tips. Raked wingtips design is where the tip of the wing has a higher degree of sweep than the … Read more
Induced drag is an easy concept to understand but it should be explained simple. First you need to understand the difference between an airfoil and a wing. An airfoil is an idealized two-dimensional slice of a wing, and it is analyzed with two dimensional flow. For an airfoil, lift is up and drag is in … Read more
The term CDCCL – Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations – actually refers to design characteristics that have to be retained during maintenance or modification. This means that disturbing systems related to, adjacent to or having a potential impact on fuel systems identified as being at risk (as identified during the accomplishment of the stipulations of … Read more

The Minimum Equipment List (MEL) is a document and method prepared by aircraft operators. MEL is use to obtain relief from Aviation Regulations requiring that all equipment installed on the aircraft be operative at the time of flight. MEL is aircraft specific. which means different from aircraftto aircraft.The minimum equipment list (MEL ) will specify … Read more
