  2. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...

  3. Rolls-Royce LiftSystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_LiftSystem

    the rear of the F135 engine (nozzle rotated down) that powers the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem. Instead of using separate lift engines, like the Yakovlev Yak-38, or rotating nozzles for engine bypass air, like the Harrier, the "LiftSystem" has a shaft-driven LiftFan, designed by Lockheed Martin and developed by Rolls-Royce, [3] and a thrust vectoring nozzle for the engine exhaust that provides lift ...

  4. Turbofan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

    An aft-fan configuration was later used for the General Electric GE36 UDF (propfan) demonstrator of the early 1980s. In 1971 a concept was put forward by the NASA Lewis Research Center for a supersonic transport engine which operated as an aft-fan turbofan at take-off and subsonic speeds and a turbojet at higher speeds.

  5. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    A fan controller with LEDs indicating fan status and potentiometers and switches to control fan speeds. Another method, popular with PC hardware enthusiasts, is the manual fan speed controller. They can be mounted in an expansion slot or a 5.25" or 3.5" drive bay or come built into a computer's case. Using switches or knobs, attached fans can ...

  6. Future Air Navigation System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Air_Navigation_System

    In 1983, ICAO established the special committee on the Future Air Navigation System (FANS), charged with developing the operational concepts for the future of air traffic management (ATM). The FANS report was published in 1988 and laid the basis for the industry's future strategy for ATM through digital CNS using satellites and data links.

  7. Variable air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_air_volume

    The fan maintains a constant static pressure in the discharge duct regardless of the position of the VAV box. Therefore, as the box closes, the fan slows down or restricts the amount of air going into the supply duct. As the box opens, the fan speeds up and allows more air flow into the duct, maintaining a constant static pressure. [11]
