Even Boeing is taking the topic very seriously, and last year demonstrated the first flight in a hydrogen fuel cell-powered light aircraft. As well, Pipistrel has an electric self-launching motor-glider in production, the <a href="http://www.pipistrel.si/planes/35" rel="nofollow">Taurus Electro,</a> that is reportedly the first of its kind to market. </p> <p> <object class="youtube" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 425px; height: 344px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XzeCQblYHic&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XzeCQblYHic&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XzeCQblYHic&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"></embed> </object> </p> <p> But why aren't there more hybrid or all-electric aircraft buzzing through the skies? You'd think the advantage of quieter flying and the climbing cost of aviation fuel would be tempting enough, (never mind the eco-benefits) in our increasingly noise-polluted and expensive world, to get both aircraft makers and carriers on board. </p> <p>That's the sort of topic that will be raised at the upcoming Electric Aircraft Symposium due to kick off at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos starting April 24. It's an annual meeting run by the same group--The Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency Foundation--responsible for running NASA's Personal Air Vehicle/General Aviation Centennial Challenges, which are both schemes designed to promote development of aircraft. </p> <p>And this year the CAFE Electric Aircraft meeting is going to concentrate on a million-dollar competition, in the same vein as the X-Prizes, that's intended to spur fuel-efficient aircraft engine design.

Each winner will receive two MAS Business Class air tickets for travel commencing in Kuala Lumpur.<br /><br />The prizes will be awarded based on the highest amount spent, with the first prize winner getting a pair of Return Business Class air tickets to London. Subsequently, the second prize comprises Return Business Class tickets to Melbourne while the third prize winner gets a trip for two to Shanghai.<br /><br />"MasterCard International Worldwide has been a firm supporter of the Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair and they return as ‘Official Card’ for the sixth consecutive year," Abdul Rashid said in a statement here, Monday.<br /><br />"This year's fair offers customers the choice of 55 destinations and the chance to travel just seven days after securing their booking. So check out the fares, use MasterCard to facilitate the payment and who knows, you could be a winner," he said.<br /><br />Over one million seats have been up for grabs at discounts of up to 70 percent off the prevailing market fares since February 10.<br /><br />In conjunction with the travel fair, MASholidays is offering a promotion whereby those who purchase MASholidays packages worth RM1,500 or more in Peninsular Malaysia will be eligible to win a Caltex StarCard worth up to RM400 and a cash rebate of up to RM1,000 towards the purchase of a 42" Samsung LCD TV.<br /><br />"These are just some of the many ways that Malaysia Airlines aims to reward its customers. The MATF will be running for only a few more days. I hope members of the public will take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the lowest fares and best deals that we have on offer," Abdul Rashid said.<br /><br />Customers can visit the offices of over 600 participating travel agents in Malaysia and over 1,500 agents from Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. Malaysia Airlines will also offer these attractive deals through its website http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/ and ticketing offices in Malaysia and in selected ASEAN countries.<br /><br /><br /></span>aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-23618215806822115642009-01-29T14:32:00.003+08:002009-01-29T14:40:15.247+08:00MAS Reduces International Fuel Surcharge - malaysiakini<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHXASLUS5F4CD4Q2gIm9XGTUwIunfU1-axqzqGPK83V34ty3OGkJ04DmhuHk26pxP2ti7fSoFhyphenhyphenAtjXBinL-VT3LHqMmuvMA12PymfNXaOhUixhz3U9keocKKpz4pSX3wCdR0X487C0CEp/s1600-h/610x.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHXASLUS5F4CD4Q2gIm9XGTUwIunfU1-axqzqGPK83V34ty3OGkJ04DmhuHk26pxP2ti7fSoFhyphenhyphenAtjXBinL-VT3LHqMmuvMA12PymfNXaOhUixhz3U9keocKKpz4pSX3wCdR0X487C0CEp/s400/610x.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296601627597989954" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a class="latest_news" href="http://web6.bernama.com/bernama/v3/printable.php?id=386423" target="_top"><img alt="Printable version of this news" title="Printable version of this news" src="http://web6.bernama.com/aviation_news/print.gif" border="0" height="11" width="15" /></a> <!-- by line start --> <p> </p> <!-- by line end --> <span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Times;font-size:85%;"> KUALA LUMPUR, -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has removed the fuel surcharge for its Singapore and Brunei flights effective Jan 30.<br /><br />In addition, by Feb 1, the fuel surcharge on flights from China would be reduced by up to US$100.Flights from Australia and New Zealand will see a reduction of up to US$210 while those from the Middle East will have a drop of up to US$150, MAS said in a statement today.<br /><br />Africa and North American flights will also see a reduction of up to US$160 and US$185 respectively, it announced.<br /><br />The national carrier has slashed fuel surcharges on international flights by as much as 73 percent after taking into account the decline in fuel prices, competitive pressures and the need to boost air travel during this period of economic slowdown.<br /><br />Its commercial director Datuk Rashid Khan said MAS had always offered competitive fares benchmarked on a route by route basis.<br /><br />"Our stand is that the total amount the customer pays must be competitive, whether it's the fares alone or fares in combination with the fuel surcharge.

However, the basic principle of jet propulsion is neither new nor complicated. <p> Centuries ago in 100 A.D., Hero, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, demonstrated jet power in a machine called an "aeolipile." A heated, water filled steel ball with nozzles spun as steam escaped. Why? The principle behind this phenomenon was not fully understood until 1690 A.D. when Sir Isaac Newton in England formulated the principle of Hero's jet propulsion "aeolipile" in scientific terms. His Third Law of Motion stated: "Every action produces a reaction ... equal in force and opposite in direction." </p> <p> The jet engine of today operates according to this same basic principle. Jet engines contain three common components: the <b>compressor</b>, the <b>combustor</b>, and the <b>turbine</b>. To this basic engine, other components may be added, including: </p> <ul><li> <p> A <b>nozzle</b> to recover and direct the gas energy and possibly divert the thrust for vertical takeoff and landing as well as changing direction of aircraft flight. </p> </li><li> <p> An <b>afterburner</b>or <b>augmentor</b>, a long "tailpipe" behind the turbine into which additional fuel is sprayed and burned to provide additional thrust. </p> </li><li> <p> A <b>thrust reverser</b>, which blocks the gas rushing toward the rear of the engine, thus forcing the gases forward to provide additional braking of aircraft. </p> </li><li> <p> A <b>fan</b> in front of the compressor to increase thrust and reduce fuel consumption. </p> </li><li> <p> An additional <b>turbine</b> that can be utilized to drive a <b>propeller</b> or <b>helicopter rotor</b>.</p></li></ul><br />.aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-855121897341314072009-01-14T23:34:00.001+08:002009-01-14T23:34:00.815+08:00The Ramjet / Scramjet Engine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNm9sDTI9V304h0oPanwqclTtUl3rFZm8y9nOjYYNDSJSqoxuiR-83Y4L59rckJZdP3y6Zzii6nDclonW2wY6eu350UlN9wcelBIMtSvwfDOzUArvOLMH3BlM0FkcAHy55kiPhzPjqBDx/s1600-h/fact-6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 123px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNm9sDTI9V304h0oPanwqclTtUl3rFZm8y9nOjYYNDSJSqoxuiR-83Y4L59rckJZdP3y6Zzii6nDclonW2wY6eu350UlN9wcelBIMtSvwfDOzUArvOLMH3BlM0FkcAHy55kiPhzPjqBDx/s400/fact-6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290802458307791474" border="0" /></a><br />A ramjet has no moving parts and achieves compression of intake air by the forward speed of the air vehicle. Air entering the intake of a supersonic aircraft is slowed by aerodynamic diffusion created by the inlet and diffuser to velocities comparable to those in a turbojet augmentor. The expansion of hot gases after fuel injection and combustion accelerates the exhaust air to a velocity higher than that at the inlet and creates positive push.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieiKHclRTvC5MD4smkqf2qSg0fphw9G9KWuRzYC3eD0z7Gc9zO1H5GquHv6a3SGbQQxWYPloEO_oMhwv7weiIwmLCPV3dtUWWJPzI-dMTG1XkmcdalyrsYJCYley1ZeOY5q8Rn966uuQ-l/s1600-h/fact-7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieiKHclRTvC5MD4smkqf2qSg0fphw9G9KWuRzYC3eD0z7Gc9zO1H5GquHv6a3SGbQQxWYPloEO_oMhwv7weiIwmLCPV3dtUWWJPzI-dMTG1XkmcdalyrsYJCYley1ZeOY5q8Rn966uuQ-l/s400/fact-7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290802459650776786" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Scramjet is an acronym for Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. The scramjet differs from the ramjet in that combustion takes place at supersonic air velocities through the engine. It is mechanically simple, but vastly more complex aerodynamically than a jet engine. Hydrogen is normally the fuel used.<br /><br />.aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-4347847204758170122009-01-14T21:10:00.001+08:002009-01-14T21:13:58.475+08:00KLIA CELEBRATES CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH PERFORMANCE BY 3 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION LION DANCE - MALAYSIAKINI<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b style=""><span style="" lang="EN-GB">KLIA CELEBRATES CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH PERFORMANCE BY 3 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION LION DANCE <o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <i style=""><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Other highlights include top Dragon Dance Troupe, God of Prosperity and Acrobatic Performances</span></i><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxot2n1AcldrhnL4MTA3TNAqpEmAnuQy35b6Cjao0Lr-o_gy48BDyRGLml8LGwCWkyVKAdQlsXu8YHMp3oGKEaWk99aO-wD0bizTEB6bJCYCjmHF_1OqJHlvex8ErACybdjmH8DqDTGjAu/s1600-h/Lanterns.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxot2n1AcldrhnL4MTA3TNAqpEmAnuQy35b6Cjao0Lr-o_gy48BDyRGLml8LGwCWkyVKAdQlsXu8YHMp3oGKEaWk99aO-wD0bizTEB6bJCYCjmHF_1OqJHlvex8ErACybdjmH8DqDTGjAu/s400/Lanterns.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291112676530084066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><b style=""><span style="line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB">SEPANG, January 14, 2009 –</span></b><span style="line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB"> Chinese New Year at the KL International Airport (KLIA), this time around is assured to be a celebration that will leave many passengers and visitors in awe with a special performance by the three times world champion Khuan Loke Lion Dance troupe.<o:p></o:p></span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB">Joining the Lion Dance for a special performance on 29 January 2009, is the 2007 Winner of the Top 10 Malaysia Dragon Dance team. <span style=""> </span>Together, they have promised a spectacular performance befitting the airport’s international image.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="line-height: 150%;" lang="EN-GB">This sensory feast of sights and sounds of lion and dragon dance is heightened with acrobatic performances and appearance of the KLIA Shopping God of Prosperity.

Here is a 1990 Gulfstream IV that is actually <a title="1990 Gulfstream IV For Sale" href="http://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft-for-sale/GULFSTREAM-IV/1990-GULFSTREAM-IV/1139000.htm" target="_blank">listed for sale</a> in an aircraft classifieds ads web site. This airplane is absolutely beautiful. When you think of a vehicle being almost 20 years old, you don’t really consider that to be too valuable. With airplanes, it seems to be different. This particular Gulfstream IV is selling for just under $17 Million dollars. I absolutely enjoy checking out the <a title="Luxury Aircraft Interiors" href="http://www.airplaneblog.com/luxury-aircraft-interiors.html" target="_blank">luxury aircraft interiors</a> of expensive airplanes.</p> <p><strong>They say that pictures tell a thousand words, check out this photo of the beautiful interior of this 1990 Gulfstream IV. </strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft-for-sale/GULFSTREAM-IV/1990-GULFSTREAM-IV/1139000.htm"><img style="width: 406px; height: 193px;" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-460" title="1990 Gulfstream IV Interior" src="http://www.airplaneblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/1990-gulfstream-iv-interior.png" alt="" /></a></p> <p><br /></p><p>So what makes this Gulfstream so special? Perhaps, it is the 13 passenger configuration that is equipped with some very modern and luxorious items such as two lavatories, single bed and gallery, microwave oven, beige leather seating, satin nickel metal, beige print fabric, maple wood with high gloss finish and tan wool carpeting.

To keep the lift high (to avoid objects on the ground!), airplane designers try to increase the wing area and change the airfoil shape by putting some moving parts on the wings' leading and trailing edges. The part on the leading edge is called a <b>slat</b>, while the part on the trailing edge is called a <b>flap</b>. The flaps and slats move along metal tracks built into the wings. Moving the flaps <b>aft</b> (toward the tail) and the slats forward increases the wing area. Pivoting the leading edge of the slat and the trailing edge of the flap downward increases the effective<a href="http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/geom.html"> camber</a> of the airfoil, which increases the lift. In addition, the large aft-projected area of the flap increases the<a href="http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/drag1.html"> drag</a> of the aircraft. This helps the airplane slow down for landing.</p><p><span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;">The next time you fly in an airliner, watch the wings during takeoff and landing. On takeoff, we want high lift and low drag, so the flaps will be set downward at a moderate setting. During landing we want high lift and high drag, so the flaps and slats will be fully deployed. When the wheels touch down, we want to decrease the lift (to keep the plane on the ground!), so you will often see <a href="http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/spoil.html">spoilers</a> deployed on the top of the wing to kill the lift. Spoilers create additional drag to slow down the plane.</span></span></p></span>aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-50487018732297241422009-01-09T18:40:00.000+08:002009-01-09T18:41:41.520+08:00Several Flights Delayed Due To Fire At LCCT - malaysiakini<span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Times;font-size:85%;"> SEPANG, Jan 9 -- A small fire at a store room of a shop at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) here affected operations at the terminal and caused several flights to be delayed.<br /><br />Malaysia Airport Berhad (MAB) general manager Datuk Azmi Murad said the fire broke out at about 11 am due to a minor accident in the store room, which was undergoing renovation at the terminal.<br /><br />He said the situation was brought under control and operations, including the passenger check-in counters, were able to resume as normal at 12.30pm.<br /><br />"There was no casualty or loss of life reported in the incident," he told reporters after accompanying Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otri on a visit to the KL International Airport here today.<br /><br />He said the fire caused the building to be engulfed in thick smoke and for public safety and to prevent any untoward incidents, passengers and workers in the terminal were asked to vacate the building.<br /><br /> Azmi said the incident also caused several incoming and outgoing flights to be delayed.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Sepang district police chief Supt Zahedi Ayob, when contacted, confirmed the incident and said the fire brought under control in 15 minutes.<br /><br />"It is learnt that a short-circuit occurred when a worker was said to have wrongly cut a wire, causing a fire to happen," he added.<br /><br />Three fire engines from the Fire and Rescue station at the KLIA and another by MAB rushed to the scene when alerted of the fire.<br /><br /><br />.<br /></span>aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-6034970423574136102009-01-02T16:10:00.003+08:002009-01-02T16:15:46.214+08:00Airbus Meets A380 Delivery Target For 2008 - malaysiakini<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzPDWoHX3tJba39NlyxAsulUzGp7QioDWAoeDx-TMIt4qbLdimbzuVQAeY2yVO0ORj2q5a-XDqaoZ-eZUq-NEPLy6Gyw-dF5OHmw3rgqjGBavRFMkac3qtEpsjA3FQtyhU-aakqgjh3Pb/s1600-h/airbus-a380.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzPDWoHX3tJba39NlyxAsulUzGp7QioDWAoeDx-TMIt4qbLdimbzuVQAeY2yVO0ORj2q5a-XDqaoZ-eZUq-NEPLy6Gyw-dF5OHmw3rgqjGBavRFMkac3qtEpsjA3FQtyhU-aakqgjh3Pb/s400/airbus-a380.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286606666379676290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Times;font-size:85%;"><br />KUALA LUMPUR, -- Airbus has met its target of delivering 12 A380 aircraft for this year.<br /><br />In a statement here Wednesday, Airbus said the final super jumbo was delivered to Dubai's Emirates airline on Tuesday.<br /><br />"We have met our 2008 delivery schedule," president/chief executive officer Tom Enders said.<br /><br />The first super jumbo was delivered to Singapore Airlines on Oct 15, 2007 and five more were delivered to the airline last year.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Australia's national carrier Qantas Airways received three.<br /><br />The in-service super jumbo fleet has flown more than 21,000 revenue flight hours in more than 2,200 commercial flights carrying more than 890,000 passengers, it said.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.<br /></span>aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-24234052656290573442008-12-30T21:32:00.002+08:002008-12-30T21:35:55.467+08:00Composite Materials<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLiRD47tmhOEeo9gIKeZhhMgUR0VxlCeJZhAjjO2JKuz9fZEuRmSRflK9vOg40av181CRQAho2BjVfd1wMoABblt69KE9O-bb8oAXxhHP8T7Y1nVd98IxflPOYxHCEt8vOb26jEArojuH/s1600-h/composite.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 245px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLiRD47tmhOEeo9gIKeZhhMgUR0VxlCeJZhAjjO2JKuz9fZEuRmSRflK9vOg40av181CRQAho2BjVfd1wMoABblt69KE9O-bb8oAXxhHP8T7Y1nVd98IxflPOYxHCEt8vOb26jEArojuH/s400/composite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285576009258158322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><i>Various composite materials are used in structures such as the Boeing 777 because of their strength, and weight savings. Composites also offer resistance to fatigue, corrosion and impact damage.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Composites are different from metals. They are combinations of materials differing in composition or form. The constituents retain their identities in the composites and do not dissolve or otherwise merge completely into each other although they act together. Reinforced concrete is an excellent example of a composite structure in which the concrete and steel still retain their identities. The steel bars carry the tension loads and the concrete carries the compression loads. In aircraft construction the term composite structures refers to fabric resin combinations in which the fabric is embedded in the resin but still retains its identity.<br /><br />Advanced composite materials consist of new high strength fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix. These composites provide for major weight savings in airplane structures since they have high strength to weight ratios. When replacing aluminum structure with graphite/epoxy composite weight reductions of 20% or better are possible. Weight reduction is the greatest advantage of composite material and is one of the key items in decisions regarding its selection. other advantages over conventional structure include its high corrosion resistance and its resistance to damage from cyclic loading (fatigue).<br /><br />The major disadvantage of using advanced composite materials in airplane construction is the relatively high cost of the materials.<br /><br /><b>Composite Hybrids: </b>Hybrids are made by the addition of some complementary material such as fiberglass or kevlar to the basic carbon fiber/epoxy matrix. The added materials are used to obtain specific material characteristics such as greater fracture toughness and impact resistance, and should be considered for areas subject to foreign object damage. The addition of carbon / epoxy to fiberglass structure is used to provide additional stiffness.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />.aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-21952779526648474832008-12-29T22:59:00.003+08:002008-12-29T23:06:17.513+08:00Inside The Engine Radial<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthb75tsPodoRqOZbrRoQBSQpVdr0zPNSu0wQoaYRxyBIXgdUU8p979RiOuXO8sPR405Bw_XdS4Ffwu3L8ildK0n-8S-4iiUgtxfKmeBMYGb6KkuemLnIg7nXBRc5yQoSEZgq2zZLmADDg/s1600-h/radial3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 406px; height: 390px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthb75tsPodoRqOZbrRoQBSQpVdr0zPNSu0wQoaYRxyBIXgdUU8p979RiOuXO8sPR405Bw_XdS4Ffwu3L8ildK0n-8S-4iiUgtxfKmeBMYGb6KkuemLnIg7nXBRc5yQoSEZgq2zZLmADDg/s400/radial3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285227345526949314" border="0" /></a><br /><b>Master-and-articulating-rod Assembly</b><br /><br /><br />The master-and-articulating-rod assembly is used on X-type engines, radial-type engines, and on some V-type engines. The master rod is similar to any other connecting rod except that it is constructed to provide for the attachment of the articulated rods on the big end. <br /><p> The articulated rods are fastened by knuckle pins to a flange around the master rod. Each articulated connecting rod has a bushing of nonferrous metal, usually bronze, pressed or shrunk into place to serve as a knuckle-pin bearing. The knuckle pins may be held tightly in the master-rod holes by press fit and lock plates or they may be of the full-floating type.</p><p><br /></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfA_Bt1yvNI2ZX-Qlg0DrGfyuxY6gF4oCL214u8Qo1JhUh-yYrkvgrGJP6TKsP70rZWs19gQHSx2EiegPYUuJkxZ_TCkLtkNn_saU3sAZ5XVxb_EU8tl0cyseZwwqvpib_VCZOH-Tl9bbX/s1600-h/radial1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 407px; height: 429px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfA_Bt1yvNI2ZX-Qlg0DrGfyuxY6gF4oCL214u8Qo1JhUh-yYrkvgrGJP6TKsP70rZWs19gQHSx2EiegPYUuJkxZ_TCkLtkNn_saU3sAZ5XVxb_EU8tl0cyseZwwqvpib_VCZOH-Tl9bbX/s400/radial1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285227346733262258" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p> If the big end of the master rod is made of two pieces, the cap and the rod, the crankshaft is made of one solid piece. on the other hand, if the rod is made of one piece, then the crankshaft may be of either two-piece or three-piece construction. Regardless of the type of construction, the usual bearing surfaces must be supplied. </p> <p> It should be understood that the type of connecting rod used in an engine depends largely on the cylinder arrangement. If the cylinders are arranged in a line parallel to the crankshaft, the connecting rod is similar to that used in most automobile engines. However, certain types of aircraft engines have a system of connecting rods connected to the same crankshaft bearing, called an articulating connecting-rod assembly. The main rod or master rod joins one of the pistons with the crankshaft, and the other rods, called articulating rods or link rods, connect the other pistons to this same master connecting rod.</p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY0EIUe8RSFQsSs22DN2piMfTIqfQ7S-ITdTqs9QgbwwrIdXUjZ9xdaSKRGD4uZEEF7aZSDw6IvJoyUxTWehxardEWspQ8IJLrfwE7xtBzlhclhs5aJ3kuq4A32BQEJkmUgEcLybcjhuhw/s1600-h/radial2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 404px; height: 385px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY0EIUe8RSFQsSs22DN2piMfTIqfQ7S-ITdTqs9QgbwwrIdXUjZ9xdaSKRGD4uZEEF7aZSDw6IvJoyUxTWehxardEWspQ8IJLrfwE7xtBzlhclhs5aJ3kuq4A32BQEJkmUgEcLybcjhuhw/s400/radial2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285227350712361138" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p><br /></p><p>.<br /></p>aReJuGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654724866629421471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473082845452093697.post-62735612147628118442008-12-23T20:57:00.001+08:002008-12-23T21:02:55.003+08:00AirAsia And Sime Darby Confirm Interest In Developing New LCCT - malaysiakini<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooHyvV7chebi5IQMFhXvhyphenhyphenHmz7lS-pmqNh1kFKQrodgInjG5FTG3KbJpr8vnDx2aGShPohBxJPgbD-KEP0udUHT_NgT6abzmCGjBV0Yh2cvvRdHEEfsvp-vyNYQbI49WvDA9bUQ-ZVKKY/s1600-h/airasia.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooHyvV7chebi5IQMFhXvhyphenhyphenHmz7lS-pmqNh1kFKQrodgInjG5FTG3KbJpr8vnDx2aGShPohBxJPgbD-KEP0udUHT_NgT6abzmCGjBV0Yh2cvvRdHEEfsvp-vyNYQbI49WvDA9bUQ-ZVKKY/s400/airasia.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282970182894896754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBC0VIo1VqbU0_YIZwryI6rUPnYI7beZvSmMpwX-pItU0J9v6Uu1bsBlIrZgpPfSDgoI0chAYSUkWec2bnQUvqOc3HQ5kcKxcBWirIpVlVc8vFexgJDH6TAvDRURx3uclcdgc8Vbevwkn/s1600-h/logo-sdb.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 359px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJBC0VIo1VqbU0_YIZwryI6rUPnYI7beZvSmMpwX-pItU0J9v6Uu1bsBlIrZgpPfSDgoI0chAYSUkWec2bnQUvqOc3HQ5kcKxcBWirIpVlVc8vFexgJDH6TAvDRURx3uclcdgc8Vbevwkn/s400/logo-sdb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282970184419006562" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Times;font-size:85%;"> KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 -- AirAsia and Sime Darby Bhd have confirmed their interest in jointly developing and operating a private Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Labu, Negri Sembilan.<br /><br />In its filing to Bursa Malaysia, AirAsia said both had jointly expressed an interest to the government on this matter.<br /><br />"The LCCT project is in the initial planning phase.
