Rotary-wing aircraft

Rotary-wing aircraft are also used in agriculture. Their advantages and limitations compared to fixed wing aircraft are summarised in Tables 6.3 and 6.4. 

These include fixed-wing turboprop and turbojet and rotary wing aircraft. About 3973 are turbojet aircraft, which are divided into 29 different types for domestic and international service. Table 3.7 shows a 1997 listing of the major US carrier fleets with the number and average age of the fleets airplanes.

Rotary-Wing Aircraft Usually consisting of single or multiple rotor blades above the main cabin with a boom assembly at the rear of the aircraft with a smaller torque rotor at the end of the tail. 

The autogiro, popular in Europe during the 1920 s and 1930 s, was a rotary-wing aircraft that had... 

Rotary-Wing Aircraft. Helicopters use the same principles, with two exceptions. The engine in the helicopter is usually hooked directly to the propeller or rotor. It is also hooked in sync with the shaft that turns the rear or tail rotor. The tail rotor is necessary for the directional control of the aircraft. When the collective, the control system that governs lift, is pulled up, it sends directions for the rotor blades to change their pitch and take a larger bite out of the air to lift the machine. Without the tail rotor, torque takes effect, and this causes the aircraft body to rotate in the opposite direction of the rotor blades. The pitch (or amount of bite into the air of the blades) of the tail rotor is controlled by the foot pedals. 

Vocational schools and some two-year colleges train students with specialized skills in airframe construction, power-plant development and testing, maintenance, avionics, and other assorted disciplines applicable to both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. Four-year colleges and universities incorporate some aspects of these programs but concentrate on the management side of the aviation industry. 

Statistical studies from the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) show that flying is usually safer than driving an automobile. Society has accepted flight as a standard way of commuting from place to place and will put up with the stress and hassles associated with the use of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. 

These small expendable sonar devices contain a transmitter to transmit signals and a single hydrophone to receive the signal. Sonobuoys are generally dropped by fixed-wing or rotary wing aircraft for underwater signal detection. 

Members of the Royal Electrical arrd Mechanical Engineers repair and mairrtain the large array of Amty equipment, including fixed and rotary wing aircraft. 

Applications. Boron fibers are used as unidirectional reinforcement for epoxy composites in the form of preimpregnated tape. The material is used extensively, mostly in fixed and rotary wing military aircrafts for horizontal and vertical stabilizers, mdders, longerons, wing doublers, and rotors. They are also used in sporting goods. Another application is as reinforcement for metal matrix composites, in the form of an array of fibers pressed between metal foils, the metal being aluminum in most applications. 

The AGO specified that no coalition aircraft (fixed or rotary wing) was allowed to enter the TAOR before it was sanitized by a fighter sweep. 

AWACS coverage for flights outside the security zone and complied with that requirement. However, the F-15 pilots involved in the accident, relying on the written guidance in the ACO, believed that no OPC aircraft, fixed or rotary wing, were allowed to enter the TAOR prior to a fighter sweep [5]. 

Aircraft use can he broken down into two m or markets military and civilian. The military has three m or categories of use fixed-wing for combat and transport, rotary-wing for combat and transport, and the emerging hybrid aircraft. The civilian market has two areas for use transport of cargo and people.
