T-1 dimensions
48 feet 5 in long
43 feet 6 in wingspan
13 feet 11 in tall
Zero fuel weight
11,000 pounds
At sea level and up to 27 deg C, the engine generates how much thrust?
2900 pounds of takeoff rated thrust
How much oil does each engine tank have?
2.03 gallons
L or R Oil press lo linger indicates?
System oil pressure is below 40 psi
Where does the EFC receive inputs from?
Throttle angle
Ambient air temp
Ambient air pressure
Differential between temp/press
If EFCs fail, how much thrust loss can be expected?
Could be up to 40%
At 35-40% N2 what happens to the starter/gen?
It’s control power is removed and it starts operating as generator
How close do the engines need to be to each other before activating engine sync?
1.5%
What is fire detection provided by?
Semiconductor, coaxial cable sensor element that forms a closed loop around all vital engine components
What is the fire extinguishing agent called?
Halon
What is the fuel systems operating limits?
Sea level to 41,000 feet
-40 to 50 deg C
How many primary fuel tanks are there?
6 Aft fuselage Aft cabin Left/right mid tanks Wing tanks
How much fuel can be filled via pressure/gravity fueling?
P - 771 gallons
G - 739 gallons
What do sniffle valves do?
Allow fuel/air to be vented
Opens at internal pressure of 0.1 to 0.3 psi to bring air in
If internal pressure is 5 psi or higher valve opens to dump
What do float check valves do?
Restrict fuel from exiting tanks while allowing air to enter/exit as needed to balance pressure
What do flapper valves do?
Hinged devices that allow fuel to flow in only one direction
What happens when the Eng Fire Push switch light is pushed?
Shutoff fuel/hydraulics
Shutoff generator
Arm fire bottles
What does pushing trim int & A/P diseng do?
Disconnects A/P, sounds tone, silences runaway sound as well
Why would you hear the gear horn on takeoff?
Throttles at T/O power and trim is not in T/O position
Type of engine in T-1
Pratt and Whitney JT15D-5B
Moving the throttles affects which portion of the engine?
Turbine gas jet engine: N2
What makes the high pressure compressor centrifugal?
Air enters engine parallel to engine, then spun outward, making 90 deg change in direction = slows and compresses
How many fuel nozzles and igniters per engine?
12 nozzles
2 igniters
