  2. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

    Tachometer - A gauge to indicate engine speed in RPM or percentage of maximum. Manifold pressure (MP) gauge - Indicates the absolute pressure in the intake manifold. For an aircraft equipped with a constant speed propeller, this is the most direct indication of the engine's operating power.

  3. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Power available in the gas turbine exhaust is converted into a high speed propelling jet by the nozzle. The power is defined by typical gauge pressure and temperature values for a turbojet of 20 psi (140 kPa) and 1,000 °F (538 °C). [18]

  4. Diverterless supersonic inlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverterless_supersonic_inlet

    J-10B with a diverterless air intake displayed at Airshow China 2018. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow into their engines. It consists of a "bump" and a forward-swept inlet cowl, which work together to divert boundary layer airflow away from the ...

  5. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Engine vacuum is the difference between the pressures in the intake manifold and ambient atmospheric pressure. Engine vacuum is a "gauge" pressure, since gauges by nature measure a pressure difference, not an absolute pressure. The engine fundamentally responds to air mass, not vacuum, and absolute pressure is necessary to calculate mass.

  6. Engine-indicating and crew-alerting system - Wikipedia

    On some Bombardier aircraft, it is possible to call up the wrong checklist. Messages forbidding take-off can be shown as advisories. [3] The 757, 767, and 747-400 have no electronic checklists. The ERJ and the E-Jets have no electronic checklists. The CRJ have no electronic checklists. The Do-328 and the Do-328JET have no electronic checklists.

  7. Intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intake

    Aircraft using piston engines use intake systems similar to automobiles. With the development of jet engines and the subsequent ability of aircraft to travel at supersonic speeds, it was necessary to design inlets to provide the flow required by the engine over a wide operating envelope and to provide air with a high-pressure recovery and low distortion.

  8. Bendix-Stromberg pressure carburetor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix-Stromberg_pressure...

    The impact tube pressure is connected to "Chamber B" on the side of the air metering diaphragm farthest from the carburetor body. As the air pressure in chamber B is increased, the diaphragm is moved toward the carburetor body. [14] The difference in pressure between chambers A and B creates what is known as the air metering force'. [14]

  9. Podded engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podded_engine

    hydraulic hoses, hydraulic fluid from the aircraft hydraulic system has to be supplied to engine-mounted pumps and then returned under high pressure to the aircraft. High pressure fluid is returned to the nacelle for actuating a thrust reverser. fuel tube, fuel has to get from the aircraft tanks to the engine fuel pump. air tubes, high pressure ...
