  2. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

    In aviation, the turn and slip indicator (T/S, a.k.a. turn indicator and turn and bank indicator) and the turn coordinator (TC) variant are essentially two aircraft flight instruments in one device. One indicates the rate of turn, or the rate of change in the aircraft's heading; the other part indicates whether the aircraft is in coordinated ...

  3. Chain pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_pump

    The chain pump is type of a water pump in which several circular discs are positioned on an endless chain. One part of the chain dips into the water, and the chain runs through a tube, slightly bigger than the diameter of the discs. As the chain is drawn up the tube, water becomes trapped between the discs and is lifted to and discharged at the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_string

    The yaw string, also known as a slip string, is a simple device for indicating a slip or skid in an aircraft in flight. It performs the same function as the slip-skid indicator ball, but is more sensitive, and does not require the pilot to look down at the instrument panel. [ 1 ]

  6. Attitude and heading reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_and_heading...

    An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including roll, pitch, and yaw.These are sometimes referred to as MARG (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity) [1] sensors and consist of either solid-state or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers.

  7. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    See turn coordinator and slip indicator. Monitoring the boom angle of cranes and material handlers. Measuring the "look angle" of a satellite antenna towards a satellite. Adjusting a solar panel to the optimal angle to maximize its output. Measuring the slope angle of a tape or chain during distance measurement.

  8. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    A chain pump is made of an endless chain carrying a series of discs that descend into the water, and then ascend inside a tube, carrying with them a large quantity of water. They are a simply made, old hand-powered pumping technology [10] In the 18th century they were used as ship's bilge pumps. [11]

  9. Event chain diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_chain_diagram

    Event chains may trigger a group of activities. In this case this group of activities will be surrounded by the box or frame and event chain line will be connected to the corner of the box or first activity within a frame. Often event chain diagrams can become very complex. In these cases, some details of the diagram do not need to be shown.
