AMT 121 W3 Flashcards
Types of attachment :
Landing Gear
Pylons
Control Surfaces
High lift/drag devices
Attached to wing spars or frameworks string enough to handle landing forces.
Landing Gear
___retracts into wheel wells, sturdy enclosures in the wing or fuselage, reducing drag in flight.
Landing Gear
___extend from wing
spars, robustly built to bear engine
mounts and transfer thrust to the
airframe
Pylons
Streamlined nacelles, attached to
pylons, house engines and minimize
aerodynamic drag.
Pylons
may also support landing
gear, retracting into nacelles for
efficient space usage
Pylons
like ailerons, attach to the wing’s trailing edge, allowing
them to manipulate airflow for contro
Control surface
attach to the wing structure at front and rear spars
to transfer loads effectively.
High lift/drag device
Leading and trailing edge flaps, slats, spoilers, and speed brakes serve
diverse aerodynamic functions, from increasing lift to reducing speed.
High lift/drag devices
Devices retract into the wing when not in use, minimizing drag and
optimizing aircraft performance during cruising flight.
High lift/drag devices
are fixed surfaces on
aircraft that aid in flight stability.
They consist of horizontal and
vertical stabilizers located at the rear
of the fuselage.
Their construction mirrors that of
wings, with spars, ribs, stringers, and
skin.
