The magneto (2 black things) on the IO-520 engine generates high-voltage electrical pulses to ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder. This self-contained ignition system provides electrical power independently of the aircraft's electrical system, making it reliable and necessary for aviation applications. The IO-520 engine typically has two magnetos, one for each set of three cylinders. Each magneto is responsible for providing the ignition spark to its respective set of cylinders. This redundancy ensures that even if one magneto malfunctions, the engine can continue to operate with the remaining magneto supplying the necessary ignition.

Installation of Ram Air Turbine in one minute, but in reality it take several hours. The Blue auxiliary hydraulic power system (referred to as the Blue auxiliary system) supplies hydraulic power from the ram air turbine (RAT) to the Blue main hydraulic power system (referred to as the Blue main system). The RAT produces also electrical power through the constant speed motor/generator (CSM/G). The RAT is installed in the belly fairing on the left side. When necessary, an actuator (RAT actuator) extends the RAT into the airflow. The actuator extends the RAT into the airflow automatically when there is: A failure of both engines, or A failure of one engine together with a failure of the electrical generator of the other engine A total AC failure. #airbus #airbus320 #a320 #a321 #aircraft #a321neo #aircraftmaintenance #switch #howto #howitworks #aircraftmaintenanceengineer #aircraftlovers #airbuslovers #aircraftengineer #instaaviation #instaplants #aircrafttechnician #light #aviationdaily #instagramaviation #aircraftphotography #aircrafttechnician #aviationgeeks #aviationgeeksociety #howtomake #technology #austrianaerlines https://lnkd.in/emQa3EFy

The TRU provides electrical backup power in the unlikely event that both DC generators have failed. So, why do we use it on every flight? The reason might surprise you. https://lnkd.in/dZNkz7ne

Aerospace rectifiers are electrical devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and are used in a variety of applications, including: Aircraft: Rectifiers are used to power electrical equipment during pre-flight maintenance and to start engines. #rectifieruses #aerospaceindustry #powerunits #edalindustries

It's still uncertain whether we will be able to develop practical all-electric airliners in the near-future, but what abut hybrid-electrics? These machines carry enough batteries to sustain them for most phases of flight and us a modestly-sized turbo-generator to provide supplemental power for take-off and to extend range. The promising initial test results of a small hybrid turboprop aircraft may pave the way for hybrid commercial craft that use 50%-80% less fossil fuel. https://lnkd.in/dHnTE7AM

What is "AERODYNAMICS DRAG" For example… Double the speed and you need eight times the engine power to overcome the air drag. In this context, the heavy demand on engine power to overcome air drag means a rapid usage of fuel at high speeds. #EcoFins #DragReductionSystem #FuelSavings

A new type of De-Ice system for Air Canada’s #A320. The system consists of tape-like strips attached to the exterior of the airplane. Using Gallium Nitride (GaN), the De-Ice system generates high-frequency current causing electrons on the surface to jiggle, generating heat. It melts snow & ice during the boarding process, leaving the aircraft ice-free by the time the ac is ready to pull back from the gate. The De-Ice systems can eliminate the average 30 - 45 minutes de-icing delay while also significantly reducing carbon emissions. https://lnkd.in/df3D8fjh

The air intake is a crucial component of an aircraft engine, serving as the entry point for the air that the engine uses for combustion. This process is fundamental to the engine's operation and the generation of thrust ✈ #poentetechnical #aircraftengine

Round wing The lift of an airplane wing occurs when air flows at a higher speed on the upper surface of the wing than on the lower surface. The speed of the air flow is created when the airplane moves at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour, pushed by a propeller or a jet turbine. An airplane cannot hover, so in a helicopter the rotor blade rotates instead. However, a hovering machine can also be achieved with a fixed wing. Let's build a wing in the shape of a ring. When a high-velocity laminar air flow is introduced into the wing from the center, lift is created on the circular wing. The air flow can be achieved with a radial nozzle and a fan or a jet turbine. A wing with an estimated diameter of 0.1 to 0.2 meters, into which the gas flows at a speed of 300 meters per second, produces 260 kg of lift. The aircraft remains hovering or can be lifted up. Could it work in practice?
