Na hala! sigi...but idol ghapon ka namo....hehehe balik na ta sa eroplano eroplano boss.

mao jd kay we're going OT, i repeat we're going OT...ahaha...

@ TS, kapitan imal, salamat sa propeller pics....nice 1...now I know

my pleasure balot IMAL...ask lang kng naa pa ka question..

[cptn_star]

what helps the pilot control the plane so it would fly straight and level?

it's this instrument:


it's called the attitude indicator or the artificial horizon...it displays the current attitude or the plane's orientation in relation to the ground..it displays information on pitch or the nose-down/nose-up attitude and bank/roll or the side to side tilt of the aircraft...this instrument is significantly needed in flying at night or through adverse weather conditions...

---not all passengers can withstand ejection in midair...and mahal pd intawn nang ejection seat....

Ejection is a very violent affair. A lot of very fit fighter pilots still end up with injuries. The spinal column, for one, is compressed. There are anecdotes of pilots who've lost an inch in height after ejecting from their stricken aircraft.

And of course, ejection seats are very expensive... not to mention heavy.

mao jd....imagine being shot upwards by a rocket under your seat while travelling at near the speed of sound at thousands of feet above the ground...

awh....hmhmh...comparing the two in terms of propulsion would be like comparing a duck with a hawk...heheh...the airplane on the top is powered by a turbofan engine unstead of props, it uses fans driven by the turbines inside the engines...

i already posted a cutaway graphic of that in the previous pages but i'll add a more realistic one:



as you can observe on the left, just next to that cone-like component, a large, multibladed fan is seen...that's the fan im talking about...on the middle part of the cutaway is the portion where the smaller turbine blades go into action......


on the airplane below, it still uses turbines, but this time, it doesnt have a fan on the front but either a controllable pitch prop or full full feathering prop depending on the plane...the C-130 is another example of a plane using a turboprop engine...
it would be simplified as to this graphic:



the propeller is mounted on the prop hub on the reduction gearbox...it by the way employs a reduction gear box to reduce the rpm generated by the turbine engine which could destroy the prop if mounted directly to the turbine driveshaft...

^ aws mao diay nah, thanks kapitan imal ... now I know ...

kapitan imal like unsa na type sa plane ang pede e power sa turbofan? mag depende ba na sa size sa plane?

size does matter since turbofans have different thrust ratings..turbofans are usually used on large planes although there are small executive jets using small turbofans as well..


here are some planes that have turbofan engines...both military and civilian na ni..


the C-17 globemaster


A-10 thunderbolt


my favorite learjet 45


airbus A320


boeing 737

sample ra na...pwerte pang daghanang eroplano nga nag.gamit og turbofan...
