What is N1, N2, EGT and EPR?

What is N1, N2, EGT and EPR?

N1= Low pressure compressor spool or fan rotation speed. Usually expressed as a % of Max N1.

N2= High pressure compressor rotation speed.

EGT= Exhaust gas temperature, indicates the temperature at the first stage of the turbine, which is the most critical temperature in the engine.

EPR= Engine pressure ratio of the inlet to the jet pipe, displayed on the EPR gauge to use as a parameter for setting engine thrust

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Why is anhedral used instead on some aircraft?

Anhedral:

compensates for the wing sweep improves roll maneuverability

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

What is an MCP and what is an FMA?

The mode control panel is used to select the autothrottle, autopilot, and flight director operating modes. The flight mode annunciator displays current flight modes.

How would you navigate if all VOR's and NDB's en route fail?

With the IRS/INS/GPS or visually.

Why don’t you use carburetor heat on the ground for long periods?

Why don’t you use carburetor heat on the ground for long periods?

Battery power to the starter motors.

What is the optimum ISA cruise altitude for the Boeing 737?

What is the optimum ISA cruise altitude for the Boeing 737?

To varify the nose gear position (up or down).

What angle of sweep do our aircraft have?

What angle of sweep do our aircraft have?

25°

What is the center of pressure?

What is the center of pressure?

An aerofoil when placed in a flow will (normally) cause said flow to accelerate over the aerofoil and decelerate below it.

This will cause a pressure differential between the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil, and the resultant force will be applied at the center of pressure.

How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?

How does a jet engine/gas turbine work?

Forward motion forces air into the intake which is a convergent duct where it is compressed (causing a temperature rise).

Fuel is added and combustion takes place increasing the volume. The expanding gasses accelerate to the atmosphere through the exhaust duct nozzle producing a propulsive jet.

What is anhedral?

What is anhedral?

anhedral is the downward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
