航空英语教学课件：Airplane Flight Controls.ppt

Used to relieve pilots of having to hold constant pressure on the flight controls Most common type is a single tab located on the trailing edge of the elevator Moves in opposite direction of the elevator When you pitch up, the elevator deflects up and when you put in nose up trim the trim tab deflects down This gives you downward lift on the elevator The air flowing over the tail hits the trim tab and creates lift on the tab which holds the elevator up Set pitch, power and configuration then adjust the trim Any time one of those variables in changed, the trim must be adjusted ho landing gear vertical stabilizer wing elevator propeller fuselage rudder horizontal stabilizer aileron What is the purpose of primary flight controls? To safely control the airplane What are the primary flight controls? Ailerons Elevator Rudder What is the purpose of secondary flight controls? To reduce our workload and improve flight characteristics What are the secondary flight controls? Trim Flaps What is an airfoil? Body that moves through a fluid and creates lift Which surfaces on the airplane are airfoils? Wing Horizontal stabilizer Vertical stabilizer Propeller What causes adverse yaw? When you deflect an aileron downward it increases lift and drag. The extra drag pulls the nose toward that wing, away from the direction you want to turn How can we overcome it? Use the rudder Flight controls are what allow us to control the airplane We have to know what they do in order to fly properly Knowing how the primary flight controls work is essential to flight Knowing how to work the secondary flight controls will help to reduce our workload Discuss: Parts of the airplane structure Primary flight controls Secondary flight controls wing aileron flap propeller fuselage landing gear elevator rudder vertical stabilizer horizontal stabilizer Structure with a surface that produces lift Airfoil Body that moves through a fluid and creates lift Wing is an airfoil Airfoil can be other str
