Aeronautical Knowledge Handbook

depnaker: This pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge that...

Canard Design

http://ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/canard-design.html - Details

depnaker: The canard design utilizes the concept of two lifting surfaces, the canard functioning as a horizontal stabilizer located in front of the main wings. In effect, the canard is an airfoil similar to the horizontal surface on a conventional aft-tail...

T-tail Configuration

ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/t-tail-configurati... - Details

depnaker: In a T-tail configuration, the elevator is above most of the effects of downwash from the propeller as well as airflow around the fuselage and/or wings during normal flight conditions. Operation of the elevators in this undisturbed air allows...

Stabilator Tips

ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/stabilator-tips.ht... - Details

depnaker: As mentioned in Chapter 2, Aircraft Structure, a stabilator is essentially a one-piece horizontal stabilizer that pivots from a central hinge point. When the control column is pulled back, it raises the stabilator’s trailing edge, pulling...

Elevator Controls Pitch

ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/elevator-controls-... - Details

depnaker: The elevator controls pitch about the lateral axis. Like the ailerons on small aircraft, the elevator is connected to the control column in the flight deck by a series of mechanical linkages. Aft movement of the control column deflects the trailing...

Flaperons

http://ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/flaperons.html - Details

depnaker: Flaperons combine both aspects of flaps and ailerons. In addition to controlling the bank angle of an aircraft like conventional ailerons, flaperons can be lowered together to function much the same as a dedicated set of flaps. The pilot retains...

Coupled Ailerons and Rudder

ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/coupled-ailerons-a... - Details

depnaker: Coupled ailerons and rudder are linked controls. This is accomplished with rudder-aileron interconnect springs, which help correct for aileron drag by automatically deflecting the rudder at the same time the ailerons are deflected. For example,...

Rudder Controls Movement

ma3naido.blogspot.com/2009/12/rudder-controls-mo... - Details

depnaker: The rudder controls movement of the aircraft about its vertical axis. This motion is called yaw. Like the other primary control surfaces, the rudder is a movable surface hinged to a fixed surface, in this case to the vertical stabilizer, or...
