Q

Why must exhaust gasses expand completely

A

To achieve optimum thrust from the given mass

Guarantees a laminar vortex-free and axially oriented exhaust gas flow

20
Q

turbofan noise change depends on what ratio

A

Depending on bypass ratio

21
Q

How can we suppress noise

A

Reducing airflow disruption

Airflow lining are equipped with noise absorbing materials

22
Q

What is a porous surface made of and how does it minimise noise

A

Supported by honeycomb structures and converts sound energy into heat energy

23
Q

What are the two types of liner

A

Single and double

24
Q

How does a thrust reverser work

A

Producers a breaking force by deflecting exhaust gas stream to opposite direction

25
Q

Most ideal deflection angle

A

180 degrees but causes problems for engine

26
Q

What is the actual deflection angle

A

45-60 degrees

27
Q

What air is used for thrust reverser

A

Only Bypass air

28
Q

When are thrust reverses used

A

Only on ground

29
Q

How is the bucket on common thrust revereres operated

A

Hydraulically operated

30
Q

In a fan reverser what air is used

A

Cold fan is used which is secondary air

31
Q

What’s type of reverser is a fan reverser

A

Cascade type with translating sleeves

32
Q

How is a fan reverser operated

A

Pneumatically with drive motors

Hydraulically with actuators

33
Q

How are pivot door reversers activated

A

Hydraulically

34
Q

How can you minimise the disadvantages of reverse thrust

A

March reverse airflow with engine position

35
Q

Why is angle of reverse steam important on 4 engine aircraft

A

Reverse airflow of the inner engines can be ingested by outer engines

36
Q

What’s the use of a cascade vane

A

Directs the airflow of a thrust reverser

37
Q

What advantage do large aircraft’s have in regards to thrust reversers

A

They use the same cowlings which means they can use less parts

38
Q

Can aircraft’s be released to service with faulty thrust reversers

A

Yes

39
Q

What does the control system do

A

Actives thrust reverser and increase engine power

40
Q

What components does a reverser actuation system have

A

Pneumatic or hydraulic

41
Q

What does the airflow deflection system do

A

Directs airflow in optimum direction for safe reverse thrust

42
Q

What does thrust reverser interlock do

A

Makes sure engine power can only be increased once reverser is deployed

43
Q

Where are hydraulic reverser actuation systems used

A

Reversers with translating sleeves and cascade vanes

44
Q

What does thrust reverser locking system do

A

Makes sure reverser is locked and stowed

45
Q

Where are blocker doors

A

Linked between the fixed cowl and translating sleeve

46
Q

What are 4 cascade airflow directions

A

45 degrees up

45 degrees down

90 degrees straight

Some is blocked

47
Q

What does reverse unlock message indicate

A

Reverse is not safe in its stowed position

48
Q

What colour are reverse unlock messages

A

Amber & always shows when reverser moves from deployed to stowed

49
Q

When is the green reverse light show

A

Reverser fully deployed and throttle interlock is released so engine power can be increased for reverser thrust
