  2. Load factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    The load factor, and in particular its sign, depends not only on the forces acting on the aircraft, but also on the orientation of its vertical axis. During straight and level flight, the load factor is +1 if the aircraft is flown "the right way up", [2]: 90 whereas it becomes −1 if the aircraft is flown "upside-down" (inverted). In both ...

  3. Flight management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_management_system

    A flight management system (FMS) is a fundamental component of a modern airliner's avionics. An FMS is a specialized computer system that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the workload on the flight crew to the point that modern civilian aircraft no longer carry flight engineers or navigators. A primary function is in-flight ...

  4. Operational loads monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_Loads_Monitoring

    A typical program would involve the installation of strain gauges to measure loads, accelerometers to measure g-force and other parameters to support the program or to add value (such as flap position, aircraft altitude, environmental conditions etc.), data acquisition system to process this data and a recorder to save the data for later ...

  5. Flight envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope

    Altitude envelope (H-M diagram).Contour is load factor. Turn rate envelope, described in an E-M diagram (doghouse plot). Contour is specific excess power. A doghouse plot generally shows the relation between speed at level flight and altitude, although other variables are also possible.

  6. Limit load (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_load_(aeronautics)

    The limit load can be found relatively easily by statistically analysing the data collected during the many hours of logged flights (which is continuously being gathered) but is generally predicted due to service of other aircraft before the design phase.

  7. JDK Flight Recorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDK_Flight_Recorder

    JDK Flight Recorder is an event recorder built into the OpenJDK [1] Java virtual machine. It can be thought of as the software equivalent of a Data Flight Recorder (Black Box) in a commercial aircraft. It captures information about the JVM itself, and the application running in the JVM. There is a wide variety of data captured, for example ...

  8. Load factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor

    Load factor (electrical), the average power divided by the peak power over a period of time Capacity factor , the ratio of actual energy output to the theoretical maximum possible in a power station Passenger load factor , the ratio of revenue passenger miles to available seat miles of a particular transportation operation (e.g. a flight)

  9. Embedded database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_database

    An embedded database system is a database management system (DBMS) which is tightly integrated with an application software; it is embedded in the application (instead of coming as a standalone application). It is a broad technology category that includes: [1]
