1. What are spoilers roll spoilers and speed breaks?

Spoilers and Lift Dumpers are usually hinged panels located about mid-chord position on the upper surface of the wing. Hydraulically operated, they produce a large amount of turbulence and drag when deployed, resulting in a reduction of lift. Spoilers, have a variety of uses, all of which involve spoiling the lift of the wing The spoilers can be used in a symmetrical, part-deployed position, allowing the aircraft to slow down quickly in the cruise, or descend at a much steeper rate without accelerating. On some aircraft, the deployment angle of the spoiler panels can be varied by changing the position of the control lever in the flight compartment. In-flight use of spoilers may be referred to as selecting the 'speed brakes', the term more accurately describes devices which are solely for the production of drag without any change of trim. The rear fuselage mounted 'clamshell-type doors and have the following major advantage over the use of spoilers for producing drag. When the wing mounted spoilers are deployed, vibration or rumble is often felt in the passenger cabin, which some people may find disturbing. The aft mounted speed brakes not only produce high drag at any airspeed, but their selection is virtually vibration free. Also, lift will be completely unaffected, thus permitting their deployment on approach and making a go-around much safer. The use of spoilers as a primary control will be to operate asymmetrically in conjunction with aileron movement and are normally referred to as Roll Spoilers. Roll spoilers are mounted on the top of the wing just inboard of the outboard set of ailerons.

2. Briefly explain about the primary control surface of fixed wing aircraft.
Ans-

The directional control of a fixed-wing aircraft takes place around the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical axes by means of flight control surfaces designed to create movement about these axes. These control devices are hinged or movable surfaces through which the attitude of an aircraft is controlled during takeoff, flight, and landing. The primary flight control surfaces on a fixed-wing aircraft include: ailerons, elevators, and the rudder.

The ailerons are attached to the trailing edge of both wings and when moved, rotate the aircraft around the longitudinal axis. The elevator is attached to the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. When it is moved, it alters aircraft pitch, which is the attitude about the horizontal or lateral axis. The rudder is hinged to the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. When the rudder changes position, the aircraft rotates about the vertical axis Ailerons are the primary flight control surfaces that move the aircraft about the longitudinal axis. In other words, movement of the ailerons in flight causes the aircraft to roll. Ailerons are usually located on the outboard trailing edge of each of the wings. They are built into the wing and are calculated as part of the wings surface area. The pilots request for aileron movement and roll are transmitted from the cockpit to th e actual control surface in a variety of ways depending on the aircraft. A system of control cables and pulleys, push-pull tubes, hydraulics, electric, or a combination of these can be employed.

The elevator is the primary flight control surface that moves the aircraft around the horizontal or lateral axis. This causes the nose of the aircraft to pitch up or down. The elevator is hinged to the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer and typically spans most or all of its width. It is controlled in the cockpit by pushing or pulling the control yoke forward or aft. Light aircraft use a system of control cables and pulleys or push pull tubes to transfer cockpit inputs to the movement of the elevator. High performance and large aircraft typically employ more complex systems. Hydraulic power is commonly used to move the elevator on these aircraft. On aircraft equipped with fly-by-wire controls, a combination of electrical and hydraulic power is used. The rudder is the primary control surface that causes an aircraft to yaw or move about the vertical axis. This provides directional control and thus points the nose of the aircraft in the direction desired. Most aircraft have a single rudder hinged to the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. It is controlled by a pair of foot-operated rudder pedals in the cockpit. When the right pedal is pushed forward, it deflects the rudder to the right which moves the nose of the aircraft to the right. The left pedal is rigged to simultaneously move aft. When the left pedal is pushed forward, the nose of the aircraft moves to the left. 3. Write short notes on (a) Flaprons (b) Ruddervator Ruddervators normally used on aircraft fitted with a 'V' or Butterfly tail. These surfaces serve the purposes of both rudder and elevator.

Flaperons are a specialised type of aircraft flight control surface that combine aspects of bothflaps and ailerons. Flaperons respond to roll commands, made by the pilot via the control wheel or stick, in the same manner as conventional ailerons. However, the flaperons can also be symmetrically lowered to function similarly to a dedicated set of flaps. Pilot controls for lowering or raising the flaperons are separate from those controlling the aileron function. A mixer is incorporated in the design to combine the two pilot inputs appropriately. The use of flaperons instead of separate flaps and ailerons can result in an overall reduction in the weight of an aircraft. Flaperons are often mounted well clear of the trailing edge of the wing to ensure undisturbed airflow across the flight control surface whilst at low speed or at high angles of attack. This helps to reduce stall speed and improves low speed handling characteristics. 4. Describe the function of collective Pitch and cyclic Pitch. The cyclic pitch control is mounted vertically from the cockpit floor, between the pilots legs or, in some models, between the two pilot seats. This primary flight control allows the pilot to fly the helicopter in any horizontal direction; fore, aft, and sideways. The total lift force is always perpendicular to the tip-path place of the main rotor. The purpose of the cyclic pitch control is to tilt the tip-path plane in the direction of the desired horizontal direction. The cyclic control changes the direction of this force and controls the attitude and airspeed of the helicopter.
Collective Pitch Control

The collective pitch control is located on the left side of the Pilots seat and is operated with the left hand. The collective is used to make changes to the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades simultaneously, or collectively, as the name implies. As the collective pitch control is raised, there is a simultaneous and equal increase in pitch angle of all main rotor blades; as it is lowered, there is a simultaneous and equal decrease in pitch angle. This is done through a series of mechanical linkages, and the amount of movement in the collective lever determines the amount of blade pitch change.

6. What is stall? Describe the stall warning and stall protection system

Stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases.[1] This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded.
In this system a plenum chamber is mounted in the wing leading edge. This is covered and sealed by an adjustable plate that acts as part of the leading edge. The plate is adjusted so that in normal flight attitude a slot in the plate coincides with the stagnation point of the wing. The plenum chamber is connected by tube to a horn/reed assembly in the cabin. As the angle of attack is increased the slot in the adjustable plate effectively moves up from the stagnation point into an area of progressively lower air pressure. The slot is so positioned that it reaches a low-pressure area sufficient to draw air through the horn/reed assembly, which will emit a noise and alert the pilot to an impending stall.
