Aircraft with ventral fins under the fuselage for stability which had to be folded for takeoff and landing include the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23, the MiG-27, and the Vought XF8U-3 Crusader III. An example of aircraft using folding wingtips other than stowage/hangar space such as aerodynamics and flight handling was the North American XB-70 ...
Unapproved aircraft parts are aircraft parts not approved by civil aviation authorities for installation on type certified aircraft. [1]For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines a "standard part" as a part produced in accordance with government regulations, and it defines an "approved part" as a "standard part" that is in accordance with a specific set of criteria and ...
A flight spare is a copy of a spacecraft or spacecraft part which is held in reserve in case it is needed for the mission. Flight spares are built to the same specifications as the original equipment (the "flight model"), and can be substituted in the case of damage or other problems with the flight model, reducing launch delays.
A folding propeller is a type of propeller whose blades automatically fold out when the engine is turning, and then fold back (or "feather") when the engine stops. Folding propellers are found on sailing yachts , on model airplanes, and increasingly on self-launching gliders and small motor gliders , such as the Aériane Swift PAS .
Aircraft recycling is the process of scrapping and disassembling retired aircraft, and re-purposing their parts as spare parts or scrap. Airplanes are made of around 800 to 1000 parts that can be recycled, with the majority of them made from metal alloys and composite materials.
