Industry:Aviation
An AC generator installed on turbine engines. An IDG incorporates a brushless, threephase AC generator and a constant-speed drive in a single component.
Industry:Aviation
An action that is self-initiating or selfsustaining. In a turbocharger system, bootstrapping describes a transient increase in engine power that causes the turbocharger to speed up, which in turn causes the engine to produce more power.
Industry:Aviation
An additive used to produce a multi-viscosity lubricating oil. The polymer additive expands as temperature increases and contracts as temperature decreases. VI improvers cause viscosity to increase as oil heats and decrease as it cools.
Industry:Aviation
An air compressor used to increase the pressure of the air being taken into the cylinders of a reciprocating engine.
Industry:Aviation
An aircraft fuel tank made by sealing off part of the structure so fuel can be carried in the structure itself.
Industry:Aviation
An aircraft instrument system that uses a few color cathode-ray-tube displays to replace a large number of mechanically actuated instruments.
Industry:Aviation
