Random Air Turbine (RAT)
Hi pilots, http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif
is someone out there who has a link to a website showing pictures or drawings of the RAT? THX in advance! :) ------------------ Fly save and always blue skies! |
Oh for gods sake..................Its RAM, not random............Who lets these people in????????
Love Le Pen ------------------ Nil Fault Found.....Another great work of fiction in progress |
Random - hmmmm - it does paint a picture, though, doesn't it? :)
|
|
Ummmm - that's not a RAT - that's a gas turbine engine.
|
Umm- well the manufacturer calls it a Ramjet engine and appeared to me to differentiate it from a gas-turbine engine. So if you are right, tell them as well as us !!!
|
The Ram Air Turbine is a airstream driven generator that drops from the bottom of an Airbus fuselage to provide emergency power in the event of both engine driven generators failing.

Airbus? They used to drop(randomly)from the bottoms of Vulcans as well. |
B757 & 767 use then too,
jolly useful they are too.. check out the canadian incident when a 767 ran out of fuel, the RAT provides essential hydraulic pressure to maitain flight control authority, which is really rather a nice thing to have when the donkeys have just quit & the hyd' press' is falling !!! thumbs up for RATS I say... ------------------ todays thought... who tested Orville & Wilbur Wright for their type rating & base checks ??? ***** |
B777 RAT provides hydraulics AND electrics.
Always nice to have a RAT behind you when it goes quiet..... |
Love the Random bit!
Must come from the same silly-season stable as the leader in today's Times which droned on knowledgeably about the dangers of (nuclear) "Neutrally Assured Destruction"! There's nothing like getting the terminology right, is there? |
