Basics of Aircraft
Anaircraftconsistsof
(i)mainframe—fuselageto carrypassengersor payloads,
(ii)wingsto provideliftingforceto overcome weightof the aircraft,
(iii)propulsion system ( jetengineorturboprop or propeller engine)and
(iv)sophisticatedavionicssystem includinginstrumentationsystem,
navigationsystems, communicationsystems and warningsystems.
Modern avionicssuite includesmany digitalcomputers to increasesafety,
reducepilot workloadandenhance reliability.
Control Surfaces
• The primary control surfaces are shown in Fig.
and these control the pitch, roll and yaw of
the aircraft.
• The secondary control surfaces include air
brakes spoilers, trims for roll, pitch and yaw, as
shown in Fig.
Forces, Moments and Angle of Attack (AOA)
There are two coordinate systems:
(i) First coordinate system—inertial
coordinate system is fixed to the earth and
is used for aircraft motion analysis, with
respect to earth.
(ii) Second coordinate system—body
coordinate system is fixed to the moving
aircraft.
Coordinate System Three Forces
The aircraft experiences longitudinal force, lateral
force and vertical (normal) force. Likewise, there are
three moments:
1. Pitching moment about lateral axis,
2. Rolling moment about longitudinal axis, and
3. Yawing moment about vertical axis.
Angle of Attack (AOA)
Angle of attack (AOA, α Greek letter alpha) is the angle between the
chord line of an aerofoil and the vector representing the relative
motion of aerofoil and the surrounding air.
High Alpha
• High AoA in fighter aircraft give an agility to
evade missile hits
• Indian-Russian fighter aircraft has highest AoA
of 123 degree of 3 sec
• AoA has increased from 20 to 45 degree even
to 90 degree
High Alpha
Engines
• Modern jet liners have 2, 3 or even 4 turbo fan
• Engine perform unprecedented reliability, so
that failures are rare
• Turbo engines are more propular
Avionics
• Modern aircraft includes state of art
instrumentation, navigation, communication
and warning systems
• 3 warning systems
– Stall warning systems
– Ground proximity warning system
– Traffic collision avoidance system

Editor's Notes

  • #43 In order to deal with the motion of an aircraft, it is essential to define a suitable coordinate system
  • #48 Tha manoeuvre is called pugachev’s cobra manouvre i.E wing perpendicular to the direction od motion Boeing 777 and airbys 330 Aoa is less
  • #55 Induction of these system reduce accidents, earlier it was 2 per month
