    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris

    The Airbus CC-150 Polaris is the designation for the civilian Airbus A310-300s which have been converted into multi-purpose, long-range jet aircraft for passenger, freight or medical transport and mid-air refueling for the Royal Canadian Air Force.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

  4. Thrust vectoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_vectoring

    A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle.

  5. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    The functional objective for the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position and/or rotational speed of the crank. Engine Control Units use the information transmitted by the sensor to control parameters such as ignition timing and fuel injection timing. In a diesel, the sensor will control the fuel injection.

  6. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.

  7. Thrust reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_reversal

    Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...

  8. Throttle position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor

    A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the throttle body valve position for the ECU of an engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft, so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle. More advanced forms of the sensor are also used. For example, an extra "closed throttle position ...

  9. Target-type thrust reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target-type_thrust_reversal

    Video of a target-type thrust reverser in operation. Target-type thrust reversal (also called bucket thrust reversal or clamshell thrust reversal [1]) is a deceleration method when an aircraft lands. Like other types of thrust reversals, it temporarily diverts the engine exhaust forward to provide deceleration. This type of thrust-reverser is ...
