Drag Reduction Devices

๐Ÿ›ฉ️Anti-shock body: a streamlined pod shape added to the leading or trailing edge of an aerodynamic surface, to delay the onset of shock stall and reduce transonic wave drag. Sometimes called a Kรผchemann carrot.

๐Ÿ›ฉ️Fillet: a small curved infill at the junction of two surfaces, such as a wing and fuselage, blending them smoothly together to reduce drag.

๐Ÿ›ฉ️Fairings of various kinds, such as blisters, pylons and wingtip pods, containing equipment which cannot fit inside the wing, and whose only aerodynamic purpose is to reduce the drag created by the equipment

Wet Sump Oil System ✳️The engine oil system performs several important functions: ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Lubrication of the engine’s moving parts . ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Cooling of the engine by reducing friction . ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Removing heat from the cylinders . ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Carrying away contaminants . ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Providing a seal between the cylinder walls and pistons. ➡️Subscribe us for more aircraft knowledge and aircraft fact⬅️ ➡️Do Share with your Friends⬅️

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...

Basic Clouds ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Cloud type is determined by its height, shape, & characteristics. They are classified according to the height of their bases as low, middle, or high clouds, as well as clouds with vertical development. ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Low clouds are those that form near the Earth’s surface and extend up to about 6,500 feet AGL. They are made of water droplets but can include supercooled water droplets that induce hazardous aircraft icing. Typical low clouds are stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus. Fog is also low cloud formation. This Clouds create low ceilings, hamper visibility, & can change rapidly. They influence flight planning & can make visual flight rules (VFR) flight impossible. ๐Ÿ›ฉ️Middle clouds form around 6,500 feet AGL & extend up to 20,000 feet AGL. They are composed of water, ice crystals, & supercooled water droplets. Typical middle-level clouds include altostratus & altocumulus. These types of clouds are encountered on cross-country flights at highe...
