The maximum slip an aircraft is capable of performing due to rudder travel limits.
Industry:Aviation
The tilting or turning of a gyro in response to deflective forces causing slow drifting and erroneous indications in gyroscopic instruments.
Industry:Aviation
Ignition occurring in the cylinder before the time of normal ignition. Preignition is often caused by a local hot spot in the combustion chamber igniting the fuel/air mixture.
Industry:Aviation
The altitude indicated when the altimeter setting window (barometric scale) is adjusted to 29.92. This is the altitude above the standard datum plane, which is a theoretical plane where air pressure (corrected to 15ºC) equals 29.92 in. Hg. Pressure altitude is used to compute density altitude, true altitude, true airspeed, and other performance data.
Industry:Aviation
The total of the skin friction drag and form drag for a two-dimensional airfoil section.
Industry:Aviation
The angle between the propeller chord and the propeller plane of rotation.
Industry:Aviation
The control on a free power turbine turboprop that controls propeller speed and the selection for propeller feathering.
Industry:Aviation
The volume of air accelerated behind a propeller producing thrust.
Industry:Aviation
A condition in which all of the propellers have their pitch automatically adjusted to maintain a constant r.p.m. among all of the engines of a multiengine aircraft.
