A hardpoint is an attachment location on a structural frame designed to transfer force and carry an external or internal load.The term is usually used to refer to the mounting points (more formally known as a weapon station or station) on the airframe of military aircraft that carry weapons (e.g. gun pods and rocket pods), ordnances (bombs and missiles) and support equipments (e.g. flares and ...
A crossing pylon is used for crossing over a body of water or a valley. Due to the long span, crossing pylons across rivers and sea straits are frequently taller than standard pylons. They may have marking lamps, and unlike standard pylons, often have stairways for easy access to the top.
Today, the pylon carries only a switch fed by two underground cables. An underground power line provides electrical power with underground cables. Compared to overhead power lines , underground lines have lower risk of starting a wildfire and reduce the risk of the electrical supply being interrupted by outages during high winds, thunderstorms ...
The three-level arrangement is also used for traction current pylons with 6 electric circuits (12 conductor cables). For the supply of rapid-transit railways operated with alternating current, some overhead line pylons have cross bars for traction current lines above the contact wire. Other pylons carry electric circuits for traction current ...
Transmission tower is the name for the structure used in the industry in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. [4] In Europe and the U.K., the terms electricity pylon and pylon derive from the basic shape of the structure, an obelisk with a tapered top. [5]
Whether the maneuver is flown close to the pylon with the aircraft banked 60 degrees, or further from the pylon at 30 degrees bank, the necessary altitude is the same. In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration requires pilots to demonstrate eights on pylons to obtain a Commercial Pilot License. It is also a required teaching and ...
This was used as the model for the building of the Elbe crossing 2 in the second half of the 1970s which saw the construction of the highest overhead line pylons of the world. Earlier, in 1952, the first 380 kV line was put into service in Sweden , in 1000 km (625 miles) between the more populated areas in the south and the largest ...
