Environmental control system (ECS) schematic of Boeing 737-300. On jetliners, air is supplied to the ECS by being bled from a compressor stage of each gas turbine engine, upstream of the combustor. The temperature and pressure of this bleed air varies according to which compressor stage is used, and the power setting of the engine. A manifold ...
The Boeing 737 is an American narrow-body airliner produced by Boeing at its Renton factory in Washington.Developed to supplement the Boeing 727 on short and thin routes, the twinjet retained the 707 fuselage width and six abreast seating but with two underwing Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofan engines.
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is a flight control law [34] built into the Boeing 737 MAX's flight control computer, designed to help the aircraft emulate the handling characteristics of the earlier Boeing 737 Next Generation. According to an international Civil Aviation Authorities team review (JATR) commissioned by ...
Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...
A flight management system (FMS) is a fundamental component of a modern airliner's avionics. An FMS is a specialized computer system that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the workload on the flight crew to the point that modern civilian aircraft no longer carry flight engineers or navigators .
The National Transportation Safety Board has issued an urgent warning to airlines that fly the Boeing 737, ... a piece of the rudder control system on 737 Next-Generation and 737 Max aircraft, the ...
Boeing's 737 MAX 7 and 10 are delayed as the planemaker works to address an engine anti-ice system that could lead to it overheating and potentially causing an engine failure before the planes can ...
The first Boeing airliner with EICAS was the Boeing 757. The Boeing 747 has EICAS since the 747-400. No version of the Boeing 737 has EICAS. The Boeing 717 has CFDS, as it was originally a McDonnell Douglas product. The Embraer ERJ family and the Embraer E-Jet family have EICAS. The Bombardier CRJ and the Bombardier CSeries have EICAS.
