In aeronautics Wing are airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage, So the design of the wing depends on many facts like lift to weight ratio, rate of climb, size, weight and which aircraft it is used,
Fuselage is a body of an aircraft to which the wings, tail and Landing Gear units are attached. Design and size of the fuselage varies according to the function to the aircraft. The word fuselage comes from a French word “fusele” means “splindle-shape”
Landing gear is an undercarriage part of the flight landing system. Aircraft landing gear has wheels equipped with shock absorbers on light planes and Hydraulic or pneumatic oleo struts on larger aircraft.
What
are components does Turboprop Engine have?
Turboprop is one among the type of Turbine Engine which is used to drive the propeller of the aircraft.
Aircraft Powerplant Outer Structures
Aircraft powerplants produces the source of thrust to move the aircraft through the air, at the same time they are also the source of vibration, heat and drag forces. Powerplant Structures includes both the propeller and Engine work in combination to produce thrust. Engine provides the source of power to rotate the propeller. Propeller is mounted at the front of the engine converts the rotatory force into Thrust in the engine.
Nacelles encloses the engine provide the streamline flow (uniform flow) of air over the outer surface of the engine to improve the aerodynamics of the aircraft. Protect the engine and its components during flight. Allow the proper flow air to engine for cooling and combustion.
Firewalls are normally located near to the engine compartment. Engine, Auxiliary power units, combustion chamber and turbine produces tremendous amount of heat which affect other aircraft component and it functionality, to protect other aircraft component from this heat effect sections of the turbine engine must be isolated from the remainder of the aircraft by means of firewalls. Firewall is used to protect the nacelle strut and systems from the exposure.
Engine mount is frame structures that support the engine and connect it to the fuselage. Which are designed to distribute the weight of the engine and distribute torque and vibration generate from the engine.
Cowlings and Fairings both are similar, which are removable covering for covering the portions of the airplane (Engine, Mounts and other engine components). Design to provide uniform flow of air over the engine surface improve the aerodynamics of the aircraft.
Firewalls are normally located near to the engine compartment.Engine, Auxiliary power units, combustion chamber and turbine produces tremendous amount of heat which affect other aircraft component and it functionality, to protect other aircraft component from this heat effect sections of the turbine engine must be isolated from the remainder of the aircraft by means of firewalls. Firewall is used to protect the nacelle strut and systems from the exposure.
Firewall should design in such a manner that no hazardous quality of air, fluids, or flame can pass from the compartment to other portions of the aircraft.
To be easy access to repair and installation because they normally located in the engine compartment, later there may be need to remove and replace the engine or other components.
Material used should provide protection against both heat and corrosion, Base on which following materials been used
