Forces in Turn



๐Ÿ›ฉ️If an aircraft were viewed in straight & level flight from the front & if the forces acting on the aircraft could be seen, lift & weight would be apparent: two forces.If the aircraft were in a bank it would be apparent that lift did not act directly opposite to the weight, rather it now acts in the direction of the bank. When the aircraft banks, lift acts inward toward the center of the turn, perpendicular to the lateral axis as well as upward.

๐Ÿ›ฉ️An increase in airspeed results in an increase of the turn radius, & centrifugal force is directly proportional to the radius of the turn. In a correctly executed turn, the horizontal component of lift must be exactly equal & opposite to the centrifugal force. As the airspeed is increased in a constant-rate level turn, the radius of the turn increases. This increase in the radius of turn causes an increase in the centrifugal force, which must be balanced by an increase in the horizontal component of lift, which can only be increased by increasing the angle of bank.


๐Ÿ›ฉ️In a slipping turn, the aircraft is not turning at the rate appropriate to the bank being used, since the aircraft is yawed toward the outside of the turning flight path. The aircraft is banked too much for the rate of turn, so the horizontal lift component is greater than the centrifugal force. Equilibrium between the horizontal lift component & centrifugal force is reestablished by either decreasing the bank, increasing the ROT, or a combination of the two changes.


๐Ÿ›ฉ️A skidding turn results from an excess of centrifugal force over the horizontal lift component, pulling the aircraft toward the outside of the turn. The ROT is too great for the angle of bank. Correction of a skidding turn involves a reduction in the ROT, an increase in bank, or a combination of the two changes.


๐Ÿ›ฉ️To maintain a given ROT, the angle of bank must be varied with the airspeed. It is important in high-speed aircraft. For instance, at 400 mph, an aircraft must be banked approximately 44° to execute a standard-rate turn(3°per sec). At this angle of bank, only about 79 percent of the lift of the aircraft comprises the vertical component of lift.

๐Ÿ›ฉ️A combustor is a component or area of a gas turbine, ramjet, or scramjet engine where combustion takes place. It is also known as a burner, combustion chamber or flame holder. In a gas turbine engine, combustion chamber is fed high pressure air by the compression system. ๐Ÿ›ฉ️The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure. After heating, air passes from the combustor through the nozzle guide vanes to the turbine. In the case of a ramjet or scramjet engines, the air is directly fed to the nozzle. ๐€๐ง๐ง๐ฎ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ ๐“๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ž ✈️The most commonly used type of combustor is the fully annular combustor. Annular combustors do away with the separate combustion zones and simply have a continuous liner and casing in a ring. There are many advantages to annular combustors, including more uniform combustion, shorter size, lighter, and less surface area. Annular combustors tend to have very uniform exit temperatures. They also have the lowest pressure drop of the three...

๐Ÿ›ซA monocoque structure uses its outer shell to support stresses and loads applied to it, whereas a semi-monocoque structure has an internal "skeleton" of supports and braces to keep its shape rigid and strong. ๐Ÿ›ซThe vast majority of pressurized aircraft are semimonocoque to help distribute stresses equally along the fuselage during flight. ๐Ÿ›ซHowever, some helicopters use monocoque structure to maximize internal space in the flight compartment. ๐Ÿ›ซMonocoque fuselage has its skin holding the skeleton structure together while the semi-monocoque has both the skin and the skeleton holding together. ๐Ÿ›ซSemi-monocoque also has "stringers" running horizontally down the plane to help hold the frame together. ๐Ÿ›ซThe monocoque fuselage also cannot be used for airframes after a certain size (small aircraft with single engine), but the semi-monocoque has been used from single piston engines to commercial airliners. ๐Ÿ›ซA monocoque design would also have ...
