V-speed designator Description V 1: The speed beyond which takeoff should no longer be aborted (see § V 1 definitions below). [7] [8] [9]V 2: Takeoff safety speed. The speed at which the aircraft may safely climb with one engine inoperative.
The minimum control speed (V MC) of a multi-engine aircraft (specifically an airplane) is a V-speed that specifies the calibrated airspeed below which directional or lateral control of the aircraft can no longer be maintained, after the failure of one or more engines.
In aviation, a balanced field takeoff is a condition where the takeoff distance required (TODR) with one engine inoperative and the accelerate-stop distance are equal for the aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration and runway condition. [1]
The Airbus A320neo family is an incremental development of the A320 family of narrow-body airliners produced by Airbus.The A320neo family (neo being Greek for "new", as well as an acronym for "new engine option") is based on the enhanced variant of the previous generation A319, A320, and A321, which was then retrospectively renamed the A320ceo family (ceo being an acronym for "current engine ...
The first derivative of the A320 was the Airbus A321, also known as the Stretched A320, A320-500 and A325. [9] [25] Its launch came on 24 November 1988 after commitments for 183 aircraft from 10 customers were secured. [9] [26] The aircraft was to be a minimally changed derivative, apart from minor wing modifications and the fuselage stretch ...
The 22-blade fan of an A320's V2500-A1 Rolls-Royce based the ten-stage high-pressure compressor on an eight-stage run in the RB401 in the mid 1970's followed by a nine-stage run in the RJ.500 . The V.2500 would use ten stages, with the first four with variable stators, giving a pressure ratio of 20:1. [ 4 ]
An Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) is a key component of the integrated Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS), which supplies air data (airspeed, angle of attack and altitude) and inertial reference (position and attitude) information to the pilots' electronic flight instrument system displays as well as other systems on the aircraft such as the engines, autopilot, aircraft ...
The Airbus A319 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners manufactured by Airbus. [b] The A319 carries 124 to 156 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,700 nmi (6,900 km; 4,300 mi). [2]
