EMIRATES B777 CRASH AT DUBAI AIRPORT...

EMIRATES B777 CRASH



  • Yesterday, Emirates flight from Thiruvananthapuram crash-lands at Dubai airport.
  • 282 passengers and 18 crew were there in flight.


  • As per reports all passengers and crew were evacuate safely but one firefighter Jasim Issa Mohammed Hassan died while he was fighting with fire and saving passengers life from fired aircraft.



Landing Gear Fail...


During approach, there was a fault with landing gear. Landing gear was unable to extend. Pilots tried to abort the landing and they were telling to ATC that they wanted to GO AROUND. While lower the landing gear as it came into land, the belly of the plane appears to be in contact with the runway and engine got fire. 



Investigation is still going on to find the exact problem as Boeing 777 is the safest Aircraft of Boeing.

Adverse yaw!!! Roll causes Yaw and Yaw causes Roll...

Do you know what adverse yaw is and how to solve it? To understand what adverse yaw is, we need to first explain the axes of motion for an  airplane. An aircraft in flight can rotate around three different axes, as illustrated below. Aircraft control surfaces However, the effect of one control surface is not always limited to just pitch, roll, or yaw  alone. When the deflection of one control surface affects more than one of these  orientations, we say that the orientations are coupled. The most important of these  coupled interactions is adverse yaw. To better understand the concept, let's study a  picture of what happens when the pilot deflects the ailerons to roll the aircraft. As you can see, the aircraft rolls because one aileron is deflected downward while the other is deflected upward. Lift increases on the wing with the downward-deflected aileron because the deflection effectively increases the camber of that portion of the wing. Conversely, lift decreas...

Aircraft Landing Gear

Image
Why do aircraft have only three landing gear? Why not four? Most aircraft today have three landing gear. Two main landing gear struts located near the middle of the aircraft usually support about 90% of the plane's weight while a smaller nose strut supports the rest. This layout is most often referred to as the "tricycle" landing gear arrangement. However, there are numerous other designs that have also been used over the years, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a closer look at the various undercarriage options available to engineers. Tail-wheel or Tail-dragger :  Gear Though the tricycle arrangement may be most popular today, that was not always the case. The tail-wheel undercarriage dominated aircraft design for the first four decades of flight and is still widely used on many small piston-engine planes. The tail-dragger arrangement consists of two main gear units located near the center of gravity (CG) that support the majority of the p...
