One of the fundamental aerodynamic concepts in aviation isleft-turning tendenciesthe natural forces that cause an airplane to yaw or roll left, particularly in a single-engine, propeller-driven aircraft. Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. Lets take a quick look at all four of them: 1.

A wing will always stall at the same angle of attack; however, weight, and bank angle, power setting and load factor may change the speed or the pitch attitude at which the airplane stalls. Also, the weight in the airplane must be properly distributed and balanced. The test standards divide stalls into power off and power on.

Two sources who have spoken to Reuters said that more than 900 fasteners per 787, split between the plane’s mid-fuselage, may have been incorrectly torqued or tightened. We are taking the time necessary to ensure all airplanes meet our delivery standards prior to delivery.” The in-service fleet can continue to safely operate.

Any airplane developed since the early 1950s needing around 160 hp was probably penned with this engine in mindor its slightly larger but fundamentally similar O-360. cubic inches of it, to create a tidal wave of torque that permits it to run a paltry 2,700 rpm at the max. The familiar great-gray aero engine uses displacement, all 319.8

A constant-speed propeller is a propeller that automatically adjusts its blade pitch angle, allowing it to maintain a constant RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), regardless of engine power (torque), airspeed, or altitude. The constant-speed propeller is often referred to as the variable-pitch propeller, in contrast to the fixed-pitch propeller.

The concern is over fasteners that might have been incorrectly torqued, meaning they could be too loose or too tight. For Boeing’s part, the company said in a statement today, “Our 787 team is checking fasteners in the side-of-body area of some undelivered 787 Dreamliner airplanes to ensure they meet our engineering specifications.

1) High Roundout Sometimes when the airplane appears to temporarily stop moving downward, the roundout has been made too rapidly and the airplane is flying level, too high above the runway. This would result in the airplane stalling and dropping hard onto the runway. This climbing during the roundout is known as ballooning.
