Aircraft controls
What for aileron is
used? How its operation?
Aileron is used to make the
rolling. To be more specific it creates a force at the fitted place due to aerodynamic
effect, and that force causes a moment with respect to c.g.. of the aircraft.
Ailerons are fitted at the two
ends of the main wing. So that distance is high from center of gravity. Even
though if we deflect a small amount of angle of attack to the aileron aerofoil,
we will have large amount of moment. See the fig. given inside the next question.
Ailerons operate on the differential
mechanism. That means if the right aileron goes up, then left aileron goes
down. Suppose if pilot wants to have a right turn, he must bring right aileron
up.
What is adverse yaw?
If a pilot wants to have a
right turn, then he will apply a control from the cockpit in such a way that
the right aileron goes up. Say, for instance, right aileron goes 5 deg upward
in AOA. Then you might think left aileron goes 5 deg downwards. If it is so,
downward aileron with wing combination, has been increased by camber. Hence it
can create large amount of lift and drag. The upward aileron with wing
combination has less camber, hence produce less lift and less drag.
You just raise your two hands
like bird wings. Imagine A guy with high power is pulling your left hand rearward,
and a guy with less power is pulling you right hand rearwards. Now you say
which side your body turns? Yes. Body
turns towards Left. The same thing is what happening in the airplane while
making turn.
Because of the highest drag at
the left side while making a right turn, the aircraft yaws towards left. This
yaw is what called as adverse yaw.
To overcome this effect when
rolling, the downward aileron has to undergo half deviation from that of upward
aileron.
What for rudder is
used?
Rudder is used for producing
yawing moment while going along a flight path.
What for elevator is
used? While takeoff how the elevator will be?
Elevator is used for creating
pitching moment. Pitching is needed when aircraft climbs and descends. During
takeoff the elevators located on the tail wing will be deflected upwards.
I think Aeronautical engineering college student have much more salary than any other courses.
ReplyDeleteValueable information shared thanks. Students can do aerospace engineering from aerospace engineering colleges in india.
