Earlier, data from a Trident's quick access recorder had provided the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) with useful supplemental data over-and-above that of the aircraft's flight data recorder that helped the diagnosing of the cause of the 1972 British European Airways Flight 548, the "Staines air disaster" where the Trident's leading ...
ARP4754(), Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems, is a published standard from SAE International, dealing with the development processes which support certification of Aircraft systems, addressing "the complete aircraft development cycle, from systems requirements through systems verification."
The triple-slotted trailing edge flaps are well displayed and the Krueger flaps on the leading edge also are visible. In aircraft design and aerospace engineering, a high-lift device is a component or mechanism on an aircraft's wing that increases the amount of lift produced by the wing. The device may be a fixed component, or a movable ...
By 1967, when flight recorders were mandated by leading aviation countries, the expression had found its way into general use: "These so-called 'black boxes' are, in fact, of fluorescent flame-orange in colour." [26] The formal names of the devices are flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. The recorders must be housed in boxes that ...
In aviation, an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) is a flight instrument display system in an aircraft cockpit that displays flight data electronically rather than electromechanically. An EFIS normally consists of a primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD), and an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS ...
Boeing conducted a series of test flights in 2015 with a modified Boeing 757, incorporating new wing-leading-edge sections and an actively blown vertical tail. [10] The left wing was modified to include a 6.7 m-span glove section supporting a variable-camber Krueger flap to be deployed during landing, protruding just ahead of the leading edge.
The CFM International LEAP ("Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion") is a high-bypass turbofan engine produced by CFM International, a 50–50 joint venture between American GE Aerospace and French Safran Aircraft Engines. It is the successor of the CFM56 and competes with the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G to power narrow-body aircraft.
The leading edge is the part of the wing that first contacts the air; [1] [2] alternatively it is the foremost edge of an airfoil section. [3] The first is an aerodynamic definition, the second a structural one.
