FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACE

• PRIMARY GROUP
• AILERON
• ELEVATOR
• RUDDER
• SECONDARY GROUP
• TRIM TAB
• SPRING TAB
• AUXILIARY GROUP
• WING FLAPS
• SPOILERS
• SPEED BRAKES
• LEADING EDGE FLAP
• SLOTS

10
AILERON

• Longitudinal axis extends lengthwise from the
  nose through the tail. Movement about the
  longitudinal axis is called roll.  Roll is
  controlled by the ailerons.

11
ELEVATOR

• Lateral axis extends crosswise from wingtip
  through wingtip. Movement about the lateral axis
  is called pitch. Pitch  is controlled by the
  elevator.

12
RUDDER

• Vertical axis passes vertically through the
  center of gravity (when the aircraft is in level
  flight). Movement about the vertical axis is
  called yaw. Yaw is controlled by the rudder.

13
AIRCRAFT ENGINES

• DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES ARE
• PROPELLER WITH PISTON ENGINE
• JET ENGINE
• TURBOPROP
• TURBOFAN
• TURBOJET
• RAMJET
• ROCKET ENGINE

AIRFOIL

• AN AIRFOIL IS A SURFACE DESIGNED TO OBTAIN A
  DESIRABLE REACTION FROM THE AIR THROUGH WHICH IT
  MOVES
• AIRFOIL GEOMETRY

• CHORD LINE
• MEAN CAMBER LINE
• ANGLE OF ATTACK
• ANGLE OF INCIDENCE

21
FOUR FORCES OF FLIGHT
22
DRAG

• DRAG IS THE RESOLVED COMPONENT OF THE COMPLETE
  AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHICH IS PARALLEL TO THE FLIGHT
  DIRECTION (OR RELATIVE ONCOMING AIRFLOW).
• IT MUST ALWAYS ACT TO OPPOSE THE DIRECTION OF
  MOTION.
• IT IS THE UNDESIRABLE COMPONENT OF THE
  AERODYNAMIC FORCE WHILE LIFT IS THE DESIRABLE
  COMPONENT

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

• Why should we study properties of
• atmosphere?
• Variation of Temperature with Altitude
• Variation of Pressure with Altitude
• Variation of Density with Altitude
• Tables of Standard Atmosphere

26
Why should we study Atmospheric Properties

• Engineers design flight vehicles, turbine engines
  and rockets that will operate at various
  altitudes.
• They can not design these unless the atmospheric
  characteristics are not known.
• For example,

27
What is a standard atmosphere?

• Weather conditions vary around the globe, from
  day to day.
• Taking all these variations into design is
  impractical.
• A standard atmosphere is therefore defined, that
  relates fight tests, wind tunnel tests and
  general airplane design to a common reference.
• This common reference is called a standard
  atmosphere.

28
Powered Controls

• May take one of two basic forms
• Servo-assisted
• Hydraulic pressure transmitted to servo actuator
  which assists mechanical linkage to move surface.
• Linkage still available if power is lost but
  system then very heavy to operate.
• Fully power-operated
• Control signals transmitted hydraulically,
  electrically (fly-by-wire) or optically
  (fly-by-light).

INTRODUCTION

• HISTORY
• THE VERY FIRST AIRCRAFT HAD LITTLE TO NO FLIGHT
  INSTRUMENTS
• ALL WEATHER FLYING WAS RISKY
• NAVIGATION DEPENDED ON PILOTS ABILITY TO USE
  LANDMARKS
