thrust-reversal system
1thrust reversal — The method and means of reducing the landing run of an aircraft without excessive use of wheel brakes or any use of braking or tail parachutes. On piston and turboprop engines, it can be done by reversing the propeller pitch. In turbojet engines …
2Engine indicating and crew alerting system — An example of information found on a EICAS Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) is an integrated system used in modern aircraft to provide aircraft crew with aircraft engines and other systems instrumentation and crew annunciations …
3Ice protection system — Ice protection systems are designed to keep atmospheric ice from accumulating on aircraft flight surfaces while in flight. The effects of ice accretion on an aircraft can cause the shape of airfoils and flight control surfaces to change, which… …
4reproductive system, animal — Introduction any of the organ systems by which animals reproduce. The role of reproduction is to provide for the continued existence of a species; it is the process by which living organisms duplicate themselves. Animals compete with… …

6jet engine — an engine, as an aircraft engine, that produces forward motion by the rearward exhaust of a jet of fluid or heated air and gases. Also called jet, jet motor. [1940 45] * * * Any of a class of internal combustion engines that propel aircraft by… …
7Compressor stall — A compressor stall is a situation of abnormal airflow resulting from a stall of the aerofoils within the compressor of a jet engine. Stall is found in dynamic compressors, particularly axial compressors, as used in jet engines and turbochargers… …
8Components of jet engines — Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the fan blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which… …
9Flight data recorder — An example of a flight data recorder; the underwater locator beacon is the small cylinder on the far right. (English translation of warning message: FLIGHT RECORDER DO NOT OPEN) …
10Centrifugal compressor — Centrifugal compressors, sometimes termed radial compressors, are a sub class of dynamic axisymmetric work absorbing turbomachinery.[1] Centrifugal impeller with a highly polished surface likely to improve performance …
