The landing gear suspension absorbs impact energy during landing through an oleo strut mechanism. An oleo strut consists of inner and outer cylinders containing hydraulic fluid and compressed air, with a tapered metering pin controlling fluid flow between chambers. During landing, the inner cylinder moves upward, pushing fluid through the metering pin orifice, dissipating the impact force through hydraulic damping before a smooth touchdown.
The document discusses the concepts of stability, maneuverability, and controllability as they relate to aircraft design. It states that stability causes an aircraft to return to steady flight after a disturbance, maneuverability allows the pilot to move the aircraft easily about its axes, and controllability is the ability to respond to pilot inputs. However, increasing one of these characteristics typically decreases another, so aircraft designs involve compromises. The document then examines longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability in more detail.

Reverse Thrust
Jet engines create forward thrust by taking in air and accelerating it through the engine before expelling it out of a nozzle at high speed. They power aircraft, missiles, and other vehicles by using combustion or other reactions to accelerate air through the engine.

The document concludes by providing equations for force, torque, and power required to drive Couette flow.
The materials used to construct aircraft have evolved significantly over time. Early aircraft in the 1900s used wood, wire and fabric due to their light weight and availability. Aluminum was introduced for engines in 1903 due to its strength. Throughout the 1900s, stronger and lighter materials like steel, aluminum alloys, plastics and composites were adopted to improve performance and enable new aircraft designs.

Jet engines work by taking in air and accelerating it rearward through a nozzle, generating thrust according to Newton's Third Law. The jet engine was developed in the early 20th century by Hans von Ohain and Frank Whittle. Modern jet engines come in several types but generally work by compressing air, mixing it with fuel, combusting the mixture, and expelling the hot gases through a turbine to produce thrust. Jet engines are primarily used to power aircraft but also have applications in boats and other vehicles.
This document provides an overview of jet engines, including their history, key parts, types, and comparisons to other propulsion systems. It discusses the main developers of the first jet engine in the early 1900s. The main types of jet engines are then outlined, including ramjet, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft. Advantages of jet engines over internal combustion engines are higher mechanical efficiency and better weight to power ratios, while disadvantages include lower thermal efficiency and challenges with high temperature turbine blades. The document concludes with suggestions for future engine improvements and a vision of decreased aircraft weight enabling greater safety and flexibility.
The document discusses propeller systems and how they generate thrust/lift. It explains that propeller blades work similarly to aircraft wings by generating higher pressure on one side and lower pressure on the other. The angle of attack of the blades can be adjusted to optimize thrust at different speeds. A controllable pitch propeller allows the blade angle to be adjusted in flight for takeoff, cruise, and landing. The helix angle, which is produced by the corkscrew motion of the blade tips, also affects thrust generation.
This document discusses piston engines and jet engines used as aircraft powerplants. While piston engines were initially more efficient than early jet engines, jet engines have largely replaced piston engines in both military and civilian aviation due to various design and performance factors. These factors that determine the suitability of an engine for aircraft include payload, size, cost, maintenance requirements, materials used, engine cycle, aircraft speed, control, power-to-weight ratio, flight envelope, efficiency, fuel consumption, endurance, vibration, and noise levels.
There are three main types of aircraft engines: piston engines, gas turbine engines, and rocket engines. Piston engines can be radial, V-shaped, or horizontally opposed. Gas turbine engines include ram jets, pulse jets, radial flow, and axial flow engines as well as turbofan and turboprop engines. Axial flow engines are commonly used in modern jet aircraft like the Phantom while turboprops use a gas turbine to drive a propeller, as seen on the Allison 250 engine.

A fluid is a state of matter in which its molecules move freely and do not bear a constant relationship in space to other molecules.
In physics, fluid flow has all kinds of aspects: steady or unsteady, compressible or incompressible, viscous or non-viscous, and rotational or irrotational to name a few. Some of these characteristics reflect properties of the liquid itself, and others focus on how the fluid is moving.
Fluids are :-
Liquid : blood, i.v. infusions)
Gas : O2 , N2O)
Vapour (transition from liquid to gas) : N2O (under compression in cylinder), volatile inhalational agents (halothane, isoflurane, etc)
Sublimate (transition from solid to gas bypassing liquid state) : Dry ice (solid CO2), iodine

HEAVY DUTY AIR TRANSPORT VEHICLE (HDATV)vivatechijri
There are various technologies emerging from Aeronautics and Aerospace fields which results into
different problems being solved yet there are some which will be very beneficiary in near future for military as
well as for civil purpose. We as students are working on a problem which will benefit in our near future. In our
project we are designing an electric propelled HDATV (heavy duty air transport vehicle) which utilizes VTOL
technology. The aircraft which we are designing consists of fuselage with two nacelles at the end of high placed
fixed wing and two horizontal stabilizers and a vertical stabilizer along with it. The fuselage and the nacelles are
lifting bodies that are configured to jointly form an aerodynamic lifting body which cooperates with the horizontal
stabilizer to provide aerodynamic lift to the aircraft in forward flight. The nacelles houses two propellers which
are highly pitched and powered by the BLDC Motors operating in counter-rotating directions. The nacelles will
be designed to perform tilting operation in the direction of flight whenever necessary. The aircraft will be
unmanned and controlled via radio controller. The main aim of our project is to demonstrate the use of electric
VTOL technology and to perform basic tasks like avoiding obstacles, to carry loads and to perform some air
manoeuvres.
The document summarizes how airplanes work and have developed over time. It explains that the Wright Brothers built the first airplane in 1903. During World War I, airplanes were developed further for military use, with different countries using models suited to their needs. New technologies have often been developed during times of war due to arms races between opposing forces. The document concludes by thanking the Wright Brothers for their pioneering work developing the first airplane.
This document is a quiz on airplanes conducted on May 14, 2020. It contains 10 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of specific airplane models, manufacturers, and key facts. The questions cover planes like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Gulfstream jets, the Dornier Do 228, Dassault Falcon jets, ATR regional planes, the Fokker F-27 Friendship, and the De Havilland Comet. The document provides the questions, answers, and in some cases visual clues to help identify the correct response.
The document describes the design and construction of a tri-craft unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. It includes the history of UAVs and vertical take-off aircraft, the initial and updated project schedules, drawings of the tri-craft design, calculations for components, construction steps, and recommendations. The tri-craft UAV is designed to have three motors, with the front two capable of 90 degree rotation to enable both vertical and horizontal flight.
The document compares 4th generation fighters the F-15 and Su-27. It notes that the Su-27 was intended to surpass the F-15 in overall capability with improvements like 10% larger dimensions and engines for greater thrust. The Su-27 also has a more optimized cross-section and internal fuel capacity for comparable range to rivals using external tanks. Both fighters improved maneuverability over previous generations with innovations like larger wings, more powerful engines, and advanced flight control systems.
1) The history of aircraft structures began with simple wood structures and has evolved through advances in materials and processes to today's aerodynamic aircraft made of composites. Early pioneers like Cayley, Lilienthal, and the Wright Brothers helped establish principles of flight and aircraft design through experimentation with gliders.
2) Early aircraft were made of wood, steel, and fabric, but aluminum and composites are now more common. Structures have progressed from truss designs to semimonocoque fuselages and stress-skin wings. Aircraft experience five stresses - tension, compression, torsion, shear, and bending - and structures must be designed to withstand these loads.
3) A fixed-wing
A collection of some of the most influential and important aircraft designs in history. These aircraft aren't necessarily the most famous, but each have played vital roles in the evolution of aviation.

This document discusses different types of air breathing jet engines. It describes the basic principles of how they work by using Newton's third law of motion. The key types discussed are turbojets, which work well at high speeds but have limits for other vehicles, and scramjets, which are designed to combust fuel in supersonic airflow. Both types work by compressing incoming air, mixing it with fuel, combusting the mixture, and accelerating it through a nozzle for thrust. However, scramjets do not decelerate the airflow to subsonic speeds like turbojets. The document outlines the components, operation, advantages, and applications of these different jet propulsion systems.
This document provides an overview of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial aircraft engine. Some key points:
- The R-2800 was introduced in 1937 and was considered one of the most powerful and widely used radial piston engines of WWII. It powered many important American aircraft including the F4U Corsair and P-47 Thunderbolt.
- The engine underwent numerous design improvements over its lifetime to increase power output. By 1944, experimental models produced 2,800 hp using water injection.
- Over 125,000 R-2800 engines were produced between 1939-1960. After WWII, the engine continued to be used in aircraft like the Canadair CL-215 well

The first autopilot was developed in 1912 by Sperry Corporation. It connected gyroscopic instruments to aircraft controls, allowing planes to fly straight and level without constant pilot input. In 1914, Lawrence Sperry demonstrated the autopilot by flying with his hands away from the controls. Autopilots greatly reduced pilot workload on long flights and helped enable transoceanic flights. Modern autopilots are computer controlled and can fly planes through all phases of flight except taxiing, with some able to perform automatic landings. They integrate with inertial guidance and radio navigation to fly precision routes while minimizing errors over long durations.
Early attempts at propulsion for heavier-than-air flight included:
1) Pedal power and windlasses used to drive propellers on some dirigible balloons in the late 1800s.
2) Rubber band-powered model helicopters and airplanes in the 1800s, which were important for developing and demonstrating flight principles.
3) Clocks and compressed air were also used to power early model airplanes in the 1850s-1870s, with mixed success. However, sustained untethered flight was not achieved until the development of practical internal combustion engines in the early 1900s.

3. What is a Jet Engine?
It is an Engine that works on
the Newton’s Third Law of
Motion:
Every Action Has a Reaction.
It is a reaction engine that
discharges a jet of fast
moving gas backward whose
reaction pushes the aircraft
forward.
A Brief History of Jet Engines Z.I.Jami

4. The two Types of Reaction
Engines.
The reaction engines broadly work on one of the two
principles:
The Gas Turbines: Which has been described earlier, uses
the air from the atmosphere as its working fluid, and is the
main topic of this presentation.
The Rockets : Which carry the Oxidant (like Liquid Oxygen)
with them along with the fuel and do not depend upon the
atmospheric air.
Though both work on the reaction of exhausting gasses,
yet, when we say a Jet Engine we commonly mean a
Gas Turbine Engine.

5. How a Jet Engine Works?
Briefly stated, such engines work in
following sequence:
1.

5.
6.
It sucks air from front,
compresses it to higher pressure in
the compressor,
adds fuel and burns it at very high
temperature
hot gases pass through turbines to
extract power sufficient to run its
compressor and other accessories
and then
The gas is allowed to expand and
escape at a very high velocity
producing THRUST, that pushes
the aircraft forward.
Turbofans also run a fan in front to
that pushes air in bypass for
additional thrust.

6. Earliest Use of Jets.
The earliest piece of equipment that worked on this
principle was invented by Hero (10-70 AD), which was
a sphere spinning due steam discharging from its
nozzles. Nonetheless, it apparently was only a Toy.

7. Earliest Use of Jets --II.
In 13th century, Chinese and Arabs used firework that
worked on principle of Rocket. These soon progressed
into being used to propel weaponry – though not very
accurately.
However their practical use, that is propelling an
aircraft had to wait till the Second World War.

8. Jet Engines for the Aircraft
First workable (Gas Turbine) engine designed on the
Jet principle was developed by a German engineer
Hans Von Ohain in 1935.
In 1937 its workable version HeS1 was tested to power
an aircraft being specially built by Dr. Heinkel – He
178 (first flight in Aug 1939) that was finally
powered by a larger engine HeS 3
Thus German He 178 is the First Aircraft to fly purely
on jet engine.
A Brief History of Jet Engines - Z.I.Jami

9. British Developments.
Independently, Frank Whittle, an RAF
Cranwell College cadet submitted a workable
design of a jet engine in 1928 and was granted a
patent in 1930. Original proposal was for a two
stage axial compressor feeding a centrifugal one.
But, due to low priority assigned, a simpler
workable engine called W-1, was produced in 1941
which gave 1000 pounds of thrust using a single
stage Centrifugal Compressor and powered a
Gloster E28/39 Aircraft.

10. Jet Aircraft in World War 2
Germany was practically the only country whose jet aircraft
took active part in air to air combat. Their two of the successful
Jet aircraft were
Me262- that flew as the world’s first jet fighter in 1944 and
was credited with shooting down several of Allies’ most
advanced propeller driven fighters and Bombers.
◦ Unfortunately for them, because of Hitler’s obsession with
bombers, it was converted into a Bomber, thus delaying the
production program.
The other was a larger Arado’s Ar 234 Bomber using
same engines. This became World’s First Jet Bomber.
Both aircraft used Junker’s Jumo 004 engines(the first
jet engine in mass production -1943) producing
around 2,000 Lbs of Thrust.
The other engine was BMW 003 which powered later versions
of Ar 234 due shortage of Jumo 004s required for Me262.
A Brief History of Jet Engines - Z.I.Jami

11. Post War Developments.
With the defeat of Germany and destruction of its
factories, Britain was the undisputed pioneer in
the Jet Engines.
Their early designs were based on W-1 hence used
Centrifugal Compressor which, though more
sturdy, could not handle as much air as axial
compressors that were used on German engines.
Two of the earliest jet aircraft produced in UK
were:
Gloster Meteor, the first post war jet fighter aircraft.
and
Vampire, the first Carrier based Jet Fighter.
A Brief History of Jet Engines Z.I.Jami

12. Early Jet Engines in USA.
USA could not produce a design of its own till much after
the Second World War. During later years of war, Britain
supplied details of their engines that started jet Engine era
in USA.
GE was tasked by the US Government to produce Jet
Engines based on British (Whittle’s) designs and
developed J31 and then J33 that later powered
Lockheed’s F-80 fighter and T33 (first jet trainer).
GE’s J47 was first US designed jet engine powering
F86 and several other aircraft in late 40s and early 50s.
P&W purchased RR Nene license to produce their first
jet engine J42.
Another engine, produced by Wright as J-65, was
Armstrong Siddeley’s Saphhire, that powered B-57 light
bomber – also a licensed production of British Canberra’
A Brief History of Jet Engines - Z.I.Jami
12
13. Early Jet Engines in USSR.
Although, USSR could get its hands on some German
scientists and factories working on Jet Engines,
Nonetheless, they too had to use a British engine to
power their early jet fighters.
In early 50s, Britain sold RR Nene jets having
centrifugal compressors that were copied and produced
first as Klimov RD-45 and then as VK-1 that powered
their first Jet fighter MiG15, and then larger MiG17.
Later they used axial compressor technology that was
originally used in Germany (Jumo 004 and later
drawings), to produce RD-9 series engines that
powered their first supersonic (MiG 19) aircraft.
A Brief History of Jet Engines - Z.I.Jami
13
14. Early Jets in Other Countries.
FRANCE: Like, USSR, France could get its hands on
German factories in France working on BMW 003, and
later model axial compressor Jet Engines.
The French company SNECMA, developed it into ATAR 101 in
1948, which powered first French fighter Dassault Ouragan
(1951) and later Super Mystere fighter bomber (with
afterburner-ATAR 101 F&G).
Later models ATAR 08 and 09 powered several models of
Mirages and other fighters/bombers.
P.R. CHINA: In early 50s, USSR sold MiG15 with Klimov
VK1 that were copied & produced as Wopen WP-5.(1952)
Later they produced afterburning RD-9 series engines as
WP 6 that powered their Supersonic J-6 (MiG 19)
Fighter aircraft.

15. Course of Later Developments.
The major areas of development since then can be broadly
grouped into efforts for:
Increasing Thrust of the engine.
Increasing Pressures and
Temperatures inside the
engine - to get higher thrust and efficiencies.
Improving Thrust to Weight ratios.
Reduction in fuel consumption,
Noise and Emissions.
These goals have been targeted through use of:
Improved metallurgy and manufacturing processes.
Multi-shaft designs (two and three spools)
Turbofans (with ever increasing bypass ratios); lately, increasing
the Bypass Ratios to > 10:1.
Geared Turbofans making possible use of smaller turbines for large
fans.

16. Some Firsts in jet Engines and Aircraft
As a number of manufacturers have worked on similar
ideas concurrently, or under license from the same
source, it is often difficult to point out who
incorporated it first.
Following, however, are some firsts in the Technologies
that appeared on aircraft in the years mentioned
