  2. Bleed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

    Some engine maintenance manuals refer to such systems as "customer bleed air". [3] [4] [5] Bleed air is valuable in an aircraft for two properties: high temperature and high pressure (typical values are 200–250 °C (400–500 °F) and 275 kPa (40 psi), for regulated bleed air exiting the engine pylon for use throughout the aircraft).

  3. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Low pressure (40–70 psi or 280–480 kPa), high volume air from the compressor section of the APU is bled off through a system of pipes to the engines where it is directed into the starting system. This bleed air is directed into a mechanism to start the engine turning and begin pulling in air. The starter is usually an air turbine type ...

  4. Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Trent_7000

    Maximum pressure ratio is increased to 50:1 from 36:1 and it has a bleed air system for environmental control and wing anti-icing. [ 17 ] Compared to the 20-year-older Trent 700 introduced in 1995, the Trent 7000 features a smaller fan hub and a larger fan —112 inches (2.8 m) compared to 97 inches (2.5 m).

  5. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    Air bled from the engine fan is blown across the pre-cooler, located in the engine strut, and absorbs excess heat from the service bleed air. A fan air modulating valve (FAMV) varies the cooling airflow to control the final air temperature of the service bleed air. Notably, the Boeing 787 does not use bleed air to pressurize the cabin.

    An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945: the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and essentially ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_M601

    Variant of the 11 for use at higher operating altitudes and modified with a low pressure bleed air system for pressurised aircraft. M601E-21 Variant for the L410-UVP-E used for hot and high operations. M601F Variant intended for use on the L420. M601FS M601F-11 M601F-22 M601F-32 M601FS M601T Aerobatic variant for use on the PZL Orlik. M601H-80

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_GEnx

    A 66,500 lbf (296 kN) thrust version (GEnx-2B67) will be used on the 747-8. Unlike the initial version for the 787, this version has a traditional bleed air system to power internal pneumatic and ventilation systems. It will also have a smaller overall diameter than the initial model to accommodate installation on the 747.

  9. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...
