What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
Fusible plugs offer protection from tire blowouts caused by thermal expansion that is generated in the tire under extra hard braking conditions.

During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?
During what phase of flight is lift the greatest?
For a commerical aeroplane: During take off. At this point the aircraft has it it's maximum weight, and accelerating in the vertical plane requiring the highest ammount of lift to counteract the weight.
Why is there an over boost protection on the Piper PA34 Seneca?

anhedral is the downward inclinitation of the wing from the root to the tip.
What is the coefficient of Lift?
What is the coefficient of Lift?
An adymensional number relating the lift with the dynamic pressure of the incoming flow. It is dependent on the form of the object and the angle of attack.
