THEORY
AERODYNAMICS The
word comes from two Greek words:
>Aerios = concerning the air.
>Dynamis = meaning powerful
Aerodynamics is the study of objects in
motion through the air and the forces
that produce or change such motion

17. HOW LIFT IS GENERATED???
Newton’s Laws of Motion and Bernoulli’s
Principle are used to explain lift.
Bernoulli – Bernoulli’s Principle states
that, as air speeds up, its pressure goes
down.
He focused his studies on the curvature of
the wing, and the differing air pressure
over the top and bottom of the wing.
Newton – Newton’s Third Law states
that for every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction.
He focused his studies on the deflection of
air or fluid on an object and its reaction.
(Newton’s 3rd Law)
To explain the lift phenomena we have to
understand the meaning of Aerofoil
11/09/13
structure
17
18. AEROFOIL
An Aerofoil is a device that gets a
reaction from air moving over its
surface. When it is moved through the
air it produces lift. Wings, horizontal
and vertical tail surfaces and propellers
are all examples of aerofoil

21. SIMPLIFIED AIRCRAFT MOTION
BALANCED FORCES
In order for an airplane to
fly straight and level, the
following relationships must
be true:
Thrust = Drag
Lift = Weight
This is called
Straight and
Level Flight

23. AXES OF MOVEMENT OF ANY
AIRCRAFT
Axis of Yaw
(Vertical Axis)
Axis of Rotation:Intersect at the centre
of gravity –The axes of
movement of any
aircraft are basically
imaginary lines about
which the aircraft may
rotate about while
flying
Axis of Roll
(Longitudinal Axis)
11/09/13
Axis of Pitch
(Lateral Axis)
23
24. EXPLAINATION OF ALL AXES
The Longitudinal AxisThis is an imaginary line running length wise
through the micro-light from bow to stern.
Movement around this axis is called rolling.
The Vertical Axis This is a line through the centre of gravity going
downwards and at right angles to the longitudinal
axis. Movement around this axis is called yawing
The Lateral Axis This is sometimes called the pitch axis. This is
the line through the centre of gravity and running
span wise from wing tip to wingtip and at right
angles to the longitudinal axis. Movement around
this
11/09/13 axis is called pitching
24
26. VARIOUS MOTIONS AROUND THE
AXES
• Yawing along vertical axis–
side to side motion
• Pitching along lateral axis
– up and down motion
(nose up and nose down)
• Rolling along longitudinal
axis – rolling motion

32. FUSELAGE (BODY)
The
body of the
airplane that all the
other parts are
attached to.
Can be made of
many different
substances such as
aluminum or wood
11/09/13
32
33. WINGS
The
part of the plane
that creates lift and
controls roll.
Has a rounded
leading edge and
tapered trailing edge
which helps create
lift.
The wing design
uses Bernoulli’s
Principle.
11/09/13

34. PROPELLER
Uses
the principle of a
wing to create thrust to
move the airplane
forward.
Can have different
number of blades on
propeller.
Design is similar to an
airfoil
11/09/13

43. AILERONS
AILERON- The ailerons form
a part of the wing and are
located in the trailing edge of
the wing towards the tips.
The control stick is
connected by means of wires
or hydraulics to the wing’s
ailerons. By turning the stick,
the pilot can change the
positions of the ailerons
Located at the top of the
trailing edge of the wings.
Controls rolling.
11/09/13
43
44. ELEVATORS
Elevators are the
movable control surfaces
hinged to the trailing
edge of the horizontal
stabilizer. The control
stick is connected by
means of wires or
hydraulics to the tail
section’s elevators.
In line with and behind the
horizontal stabilizer.
Controls pitching.
11/09/13

45. RUDDER
The rudder is a moveable control
surface attached to the trailing
edge of the vertical stabilizer. The
foot pedals are connected by
means of wires or hydraulics to the
rudder of the tail section. The
rudder can also be used in
controlling a bank or turn in flight.
Provides side to side control of
airplane.
Controls yawing.
46. FLAPS
Located near at the
trailing edge of the wing
near the fuselage.
Change the shape of
wing
Increase Lift and Drag
Used on takeoff and
landing
The Flaps increase lift
47. SPOILERS
Spoilers are located in
the outer third of each
wing. When deployed a
spoiler kills the lift over
that portion of the wing
while the other wing
retains full lift and
induces roll.
They basically do the job
of spoiling the lift.
Hence can be supposed
as a braking system for
any aircraft
49. CLEAN ROOM
In
Clean room those
subunits are assembled
and tested that are
sensitive to dust,
temperature and humidity.
All these parameters
are kept under
control because these
can have an adverse effect
on their functional
efficiency.
The required
specification for the
instruments assembled
and tested are different
50. ASSEMBLY AND TEST SHOP 2 AND 3
The major products of H.A.L. are fighter aircrafts. An
aircraft comprises of many smaller units or
accessories, which play significant role in their
successful flight .
Any fault, may lead to a catastrophic end. Here
comes the role of assembly and test unit .it forms an
integral part of any manufacturing unit.
The main instruments are KCN-2 compass system,
flight data recorder, gyro-magnetic compass,
fuel gauging system, radio magnetic indicator,
DNDU (day and night dimmer unit), GPPU (ground
power protection unit).
51. ELECTRO-MAGNETIC ROTATING SHOP
In
the E.R.M department of the instrument factory
the assembly and testing is done of the dc Starter
Generators, AC Generator system, constant speed
alternator, regulators, inverter of the Russian
and French origin.
These products are basically those products which
take the principle of the electromagnetic rotating
which can be elaborated as follows i.e., electrical
energy is converted into mechanical energy or vice
versa. These products are of mig-21 & mig-27
aircrafts which are of Russian origin and jaguar
aircraft of France origin.
52. INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS OF AN
AIRCRAFT
Instrument Systems:Just as in a car, there are instruments that monitor the
engine, and instruments that monitor the drive. So in
aircraft too there are certain instruments that monitor the
flight. The groups of instrument systems are mainlyFUEL SENSING/ GUAGING PROBES SYSTEM
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
PITOT-STATIC INSTRUMENTS
GYROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS
AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
53. FUEL CONTENT GUAGING SYSTEM
The function of F.C.G is based upon the
principle that the capacitance of two
concentric
tubes (cylindrical in shape) is different when
there is air in between and when there
is aviation
fuel present in between them, it acts as
a dielectric in between the gap. The
capacitance increase or decrease as the
level of fuel changes in the gap. This change
in capacitance is measured by meter.
This system is also known as ‘Fuel low
level warning sensors system’ as it gives
emergency signal on lowering of fuel level
within the tank
54. FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
These instruments basically help in controlling and
monitoring the flight parameters.
PITOT-STATIC INSTRUMENTSPitot-static instruments are those that basically work on the
principle of Pitot and static pressure.
STATIC PRESSURE-Static pressure is the pressure that is
simply the aircraft’s surrounding pressure.
PITOT PRESSURE- Pitot pressure is the pressure that
comes into scenario when aircraft flies and goes forward. It
is generally the front pressure that acts against the body of
the aircraft.
The three basic Pitot-Static instruments mainly assembled in
the instrument panel of a cockpit areAirspeed Indicator, Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator
57. ASI
Static
and Pitot pressure principle based source
Also known as Mach meter
Measure the difference between static pressure and static pressure
(impact pressure)
Shows speed through air (not over ground)
Shows Indicated Airspeed (IAS) in Knots or Miles Per Hour (MPH,
older system)
Aneroid capsule connected to pitot pressure. Case connected to static
pressure. Aneroid capsule inflates with more airspeed, moving dial
clockwise. Static pressure in case corrects for altitude.
Pitot pressure pushes against a diaphragm inside the airspeed
indicator, which will then be able to expand or contract accordingly. This
linear movement of the diaphragm is then translated into needle
movement.
59. CONCEPT OF
DIAPHRAGM AND CAPSULE
DIAPHRAGM-Two capsule units together
make one diaphragm.
CAPSULE-It is the heart of the large no
of instrument for aircraft .It simply
consists of two diaphragm of beryllium
and copper material for
better handling capability. We first cut the
two pieces of
circular shape from the sheet and then
make them as like bowl
shape and then joint both the capsules
and thus diaphragm is
generated.
60. Airspeed Markings
Red Line
Never Exceed Speed (Vne)
Yellow Arc
Caution Range (Lower limit = Vno)
Green Arc
Normal Range (Lower limit = Vs)
White Arc
Flaps Range (Lower limit = Vfe)
62. ALTIMETER
Shows height in feet
Measures pressure of outside air (drops with
altitude)
Aneroid capsules (like balloons) inside are
set to standard pressure. As altitude
changes, capsules expand and contract,
moving needle on dial.
Static pressure is taken as only input
Manufacturer seals the aneroid wafer(s) at a
specific pressure. As the static pressure fills
in the area around these sealed wafers, they
will be able to contract or expand
accordingly.
As the aircraft moves into lower pressure a
climb is indicated
As the aircraft moves into higher pressure a
descent is indicated
64. Vertical Speed Indicator
•
Indicates speed up or down
(rate of climb/descent) in feet
per minute (FPM)
Static pressure enters aneroid
capsule and case. But pressure in
case delayed. Capsule registers
difference in pressure (as descent
or climb) on dial.
What does a VSI show?
Climbs
Descents
Level Flight
65. GYROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS
GYROSCOPE-
A Gyroscope is an
accurately balanced
flywheel having a mass and
freedom of in one or more
axis which crossed on a
point at right angle to each
other and having the
property of RIGIDITY &
PRESSION
66. RIGIDITY- It is the ability of a gyroscope
to resist any freedom with tends to
change the direction of spin axis
Rigidity depends upon•Speed of gyro(in RPM)
•Mass of the gyro(rotor)
•The radius of gyro
rotor/motor.
PRECESSION-It is the angular change
in the direction of plane of the spin of the
rotor resulting from the application of
external torque. The ratio of precession
depends upon•The magnitude of applying
torque.
•Rotor speed which is directly
proportional to the applied
torque
and inversely proportional
to the rotor speed.
67. ATTITUDE INDICATOR
Only instrument that
gives immediate and
direct indication of the
airplane’s pitch and
bank attitude.
Gives the rolling and
pitching information
Also known as the
Artificial horizon/
Vertical gyro/ Gyro
horizon.
68. HEADING INDICATOR
Also known as the
Directional Gyro (DG)
Displays magnetic
heading without
magnetic compass

parameters are
determined
71. ALTERNATOR CONTROL AND
PROTECTION UNIT (A.C.P.U)
Alternator Control & Protection Unit regulates the
alternator O/P voltage within specified limit under
various rated load & speed conditions.
The unit is having built in protections against
over/under voltage, over/under frequency, over load
& feeder fault conditions.
Under these faulty conditions, the unit disconnects
the alternator from AC electrical system by de –
energizing the contractor & field.
72. A.C MASTER BOX
Excluding the two alternators and protection unit and static inverter,
primary AC distribution system consists of following boxes:
AC Master Box – 1
AC Master Box – 2
115 V AC Emergency Bus Relay
26 V AC Emergency Bus Relay
During normal operation (both alternator running), complete system – 1
is powered from alternator
1.In case of fault on alternator –1, all the buses of system –1 are
connected to alternator –2, with
alternator –1 in failed condition, in the event of short circuits. On a
main bus –1, it goes disconnected
from alternator –2. In case of both alternator fails to supply power to
AC main buses, emergency
buses of system –1 are powered from static inverter.
In the Aircrafts, 2 AC MASTER BOX are present, if one of them gets fail
then other works.
73. D.C MASTER BOX
DC Master Box is a part of dc power generation and
distribution system for re-engine Cheetah Helicopter.
It is designed for use with an independent
starter/generator mounted on the engine accessories
gearbox, and is interfaced with GCPU, battery, and
external power source and control panel of DC power
generator to the loads through its main bus. In the
event of failure of starter/generator, the dc master
box will activated the battery contactor, through
which the on-board single battery (Ni-Cd 40 Ah) will
get connected to the main bus & supply power to the
emergency loads
74. FILTER TRANSFORMER UNIT
The Filter Transformer Unit (FTU - 01) is for Jaguar
aircraft which gives single phase 26 V, 400 Hz low
distortion O/P, synchronized with phase AB of the three
– phase 200 VCC O/P, 400 Hz aircraft power source.
The unit is being operated from three phase 200 VCC,
400 Hz aircraft power source. There are two no. of
FTU’s in one A/C. in case of failure of one unit (FTU),
the entire A/C load will be automatically transferred to
another healthy unit (FTU).
75. CONCLUSION
The joy of flying has fascinated the human race for centuries. Defense
avionics major & Navratana PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is in
the business of building a whole range of aircraft helicopters and jet
trainers. Besides, the company manufactures aircraft components,
overhauls fighter planes and trains future pilot’s .its success in the design
and development of light combat aircraft Tejas and advanced light helicopter
Dhruv has won admiration. HAL is the backbone of India’s air defense and
continues to occupy the strategic importance reflecting a new pace of
growth.
Today the faster growing sector is the aviation sector & is likely to be a boon
for the entire job market. It deals with the manufacture, design &
development of aircrafts.
The project is based on the instruments that are used in the manufacture of
the various aircrafts. A deep knowledge of these instruments is crucial in the
perfect design & manufacture of the aircrafts. The project will benefit those
who have interest in the instrument & will provide the reader with the deeper
knowledge of the topic.
Remember, the four forces work on the aircraft and against each other – weight acts against lift. If my airplane weights 1700 pounds, in the simplest sense, I’d need 1700 pounds of lift generated by the wings to get it off the ground.
OK – somebody do me a favor a jump up out of your chair. Thanks! Now, can anyone tell me why he/she didn’t float away?
Air resists aircraft motion because it is sticky.
Directly proportional to velocity and air density.
Newton’s 1st law, air will stay at rest unless acted on by a force, which is the plane moving through it. Thus the plan must give up some of it’s energy to push the air out of the way.
As the airplane moves through the air, there is another aerodynamic force present. The air resists the motion of the aircraft and the resistance force is called drag. Drag is directed along and opposed to the flight direction. Like lift, there are many factors that affect the magnitude of the drag force including the shape of the aircraft, the "stickiness" of the air, and the velocity of the aircraft. Like lift, we collect all of the individual components' drags and combine them into a single aircraft drag magnitude. And like lift, drag acts through the aircraft center of pressure.
FRICTION DRAG:
How Things Fly: Friction is the resistance to motion that occurs when two things rub together. Air rubbing against the surface of an airplane creates a force of resistance, known as friction drag. NASA Glenn Research Pages: One of the sources of drag is the skin friction between the molecules of the air and the solid surface of the aircraft. Because the skin friction is an interaction between a solid and a gas, the magnitude of the skin friction depends on properties of both solid and gas. For the solid, a smooth, waxed surface produces less skin friction than a roughened surface. For the gas, the magnitude depends on the viscosity of the air and the relative magnitude of the viscous forces to the motion of the flow, expressed as the Reynolds number.
PRESSURE DRAG OR FORM DRAG:
How Things Fly: Air flowing past an object pushes harder against the upstream side than against the downstream side. This pressure difference between front and back creates a backward force called pressure drag. Streamlining an object can dramatically reduce pressure drag. NASA Glenn Research Pages: We can also think of drag as aerodynamic resistance to the motion of the object through the fluid. This source of drag depends on the shape of the aircraft and is called form drag. As air flows around a body, the local velocity and pressure are changed. Since pressure is a measure of the momentum of the gas molecules and a change in momentum produces a force, a varying pressure distribution will produce a force on the body. We can determine the magnitude of the force by integrating (or adding up) the local pressure times the surface area around the entire body. The component of the aerodynamic force that is opposed to the motion is the drag; the component perpendicular to the motion is the lift. Both the lift and drag force act through the center of pressure of the object.
VORTEX DRAG OR INDUCED DRAG:
How Things Fly: The higher-pressure air below a wing spills up over the wing tip into the area of lower-pressure air above. The wing's forward motion spins this upward spill of air into a long spiral, like a small tornado, that trails off the wing tip. These wing tip vortices create a form of drag called vortex drag. Tilting the airplane's wings upward makes the vortices stronger and increases vortex drag. Vortices are especially strong during takeoff and landing, when an airplane is flying slowly with its wings tilted upward. NASA Glenn Research Pages: There is an additional drag component caused by the generation of lift call induced drag. This drag occurs because the flow near the wing tips is distorted as a result of the pressure difference from the top to the bottom of the wing. Swirling vortices are formed at the wing tips, and there is an energy associated with these vortices. The induced drag is an indication of the amount of energy lost to the tip vortices. The magnitude of induced drag depends on the amount of lift being generated by the wing and on the wing geometry. Long, thin (chordwise) wings have low induced drag; short wings with a large chord have high induced drag.
