The amount of resistance for a given volume of material or for a given amount of surface area. Resistivity is the reciprocal (the opposite) of conductivity.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of reverse voltage required on the gate of a field effect transistor to decrease the source-to-drain current to some specified low value.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of space in a container. Volume is measured in cubic units, and it is found by multiplying the area of the base of the container by its height. All measurements must be in the same units.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of thrust produced by a gas turbine engine when the engine is not moving through the air.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of thrust the manufacturer of a gas turbine engine guarantees the engine will produce under certain specified conditions.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of time allowed to elapse between the spreading of an adhesive on the surfaces to be joined and the time the surfaces are clamped together.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of time an arriving aircraft must lose to cross the meter fix at the assigned meter fix time.
This is the difference between actual calculated landing time (ACLT) and the vertex time of arrival (VTA).
Industry:Aviation
The amount of time needed for a plastic resin to change from a liquid into a solid.
Industry:Aviation
The amount of time, in seconds, needed for current flowing in an inductive circuit to reach 63.2% of its maximum value. The inductive time constant, in seconds, may be found by dividing the circuit inductance, in henries, by the circuit resistance, in ohms:
: TC = L / R
: TC = Time constant in seconds
: L = Inductance in henries
: R = Resistance in ohms
