Introduction Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is the process of determining the most effective maintenance approach. The RCM philosophy employs Preventive Maintenance (PM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Real-time Monitoring (RTM1 ), Run-to-Failure (RTF- also called reactive maintenance) and Proactive Maintenance techniques in an integrated manner to increase the probability that a machine or component will function in the required manner over its design life cycle with a minimum of maintenance. The goal
certification requirements. Preliminiary sizing is a very important step in the process of designing an airplane as it decides if the airplane will be further developed or not. The design of an airplane is defined by different specifications and requirements that can follow from a mission specification or market research, etc. The goal of preliminary sizing is translating these requirements and specifications into design and performance parameters. Most of these requirements and specifications are
aerospace engineering. Aeronautical Engineering offers a delightful profession, exclusively for people who are very much eager about aviation, in India. The profile of any aeronautical engineer can be extended to a career in the development, design and testing of aircrafts, missiles, satellites and other aeronautical systems. Eligibility: To appear in any of the entrance examination of undergraduate engineering courses, it becomes compulsory that the student must have passed the higher secondary
exits leading to a small aircraft parking apron for boarding. This is used at mainly small aircraft airports and some older large airports. Linear terminal/Curvi linear terminal This is simply an extension of the simple terminal concept providing more gates and more room within the terminal for ticketing and passenger processing. Pier finger terminal This terminal configuration evolved during the 1950s when gate concourses were added to the simple terminal building designs. A concourse is actually
paint burned by the cylinder assembly. So we should Inspect the cylinder assembly for this condition after every 50 hours of operation. If any discoloration is found the cause should be determined and corrected before the further operations of the aircraft is attempted. While this checking it is important to distinguish the areas where paint has been scaled or peeled from the cylinder and areas where the paint has actually burned. Burned and overheated areas appear dark or discoloured and blistered
BACKGROUND The process by which kinetic energy is used to accelerate solid powder particles at an enormous velocity through a de Laval (supersonic nozzle) unto a substrate is known as cold gas dynamic spray or simply cold spray. The process is accomplished when a machine sprays on very minuscule particles of approximately 5 microns in diameter unto a surface building up layers of the particle. These particles are ejected at supersonic speeds onto a substrate, clocking over 1000m/s or Mach 4 speeds
and the short and medium-term operational planning, including managing the terminal buildings and other facilities such as airport security and maintenance of the whole site. Overseeing the operational planning of new building projects in long-term design and development is also his job duty. In addition, he takes tasks in providing the infrastructure for all the other organizations on-site and off-site, and leadership and coordination for them. Monitoring and improving the environment, and coordinating
This extensive check requires inspection of a large majority of the aircraft components at a hangar, putting the aircraft out of service for almost two weeks.SriLankan Airlines has been providing such MRO services to IndiGo since 2009 on an annual contract basis. b. Cabin standards IndiGo is a one class only carrier with moderate cabin standards
Hampton, Virginia Illustrates the benefits of fluidic thrust vectoring concepts to the modern fighter aircraft. Aircraft combat effectiveness is increased with the addition of Thrust vectoring capability to the aircraft’s propulsion system. In close air to air combat, Thrust Vectoring allows the aircraft to operate in the post stall flight regime. This provides a tactical advantage by increasing aircraft agility and maneuverability. A further advantage is gained in long range combat by reducing signature
order to avoid the design mistakes Lilienthal encountered, the Wrights invented an elevator, a set of movable wings at the front of a plane, to control the constant change in center of pressure as a plane flies. The importance of this invention was to help the plane settle to the ground like a parachute instead of experiencing Lilienthal’s unfortunate nosedive. However, unlike most elevators that are placed at the rear of the plane, the Wrights placed theirs at the front. The design was known as a canard
