  2. Bleed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

    Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    Air bled from the engine fan is blown across the pre-cooler, located in the engine strut, and absorbs excess heat from the service bleed air. A fan air modulating valve (FAMV) varies the cooling airflow to control the final air temperature of the service bleed air. Notably, the Boeing 787 does not use bleed air to pressurize the cabin.

  4. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    The most common source of compressed air for pressurization is bleed air from the compressor stage of a gas turbine engine; from a low or intermediate stage or an additional high stage, the exact stage depending on engine type. By the time the cold outside air has reached the bleed air valves, it has been heated to around 200 °C (392 °F). The ...

  5. Air cycle machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cycle_machine

    Bleed air from the engines, an auxiliary power unit, or a ground source, which can be in excess of 150 °C and at a pressure of perhaps 32 psi (220 kPa), [1] is directed into a primary heat exchanger. Outside air at ambient temperature and pressure is used as the coolant in this air-to-air heat exchanger.

  6. Ice protection system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_protection_system

    Bleed air systems are used by most large aircraft with jet engines or turboprops. Hot air is "bled" off one or more engines' compressor sections into tubes routed through wings, tail surfaces, and engine inlets. Spent air is exhausted through holes in the wings' undersides.

    It looks and feels premium. Unboxing the Note Air4 C is a promising experience. The device itself is a svelte 14.8 ounces, less than a quarter-of-an-inch thick, and feels incredibly sturdy thanks ...

  8. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

    The compressed air can be supplied from an on-board auxiliary power unit (APU), a portable gas generator used by ground crew or by cross feeding bleed air from a running engine in the case of multi-engined aircraft. [19] The Turbomeca Palouste gas generator was used to start the Spey engines of the Blackburn Buccaneer.
