MY DAILY WEEK FOUR


 This week we have done assembly/disassembly the heat combustor of the Turbocommander 680V 




A combustion heater is an airtight burner chamber with a stainless-steel jacket. Fuel from the aircraft fuel system is ignited and burns to provide heat. Ventilation air is forced over the airtight burn chamber picking up heat, which is then dispersed into de cabin area.

This picture that I found in Internet, make a brief explanation of the combustor heater:

This time, it was Sergio who went inside to for disasembly, for assembly it was me....

This weekend I changed cardan belows, this is a rubber that retains lubricant for lubricate the bearings of the cardan, the cardan trasmit engine rotation to vehicle wheels.

The belows is very hard and I haven't the necesary tools for easy installation.... But with imagination, patience and a lot of brute force, I was able install the belows

In this vídeo you can see me how I made the repair:

MY FAVORITE PLANE

Imagen
BOEING 737  My favourite aircraft has always been the Boeing 737, the quintessential Boeing model. It has beautiful aesthetics, perfect lines like an eagle. The last model B737 Max was defective and this made me very sad.  Instead of redesigning the plane, they decided to add software that would avoid the problem and because they wanted to save money, they lost innocent lives and world confidence.  Is a short to medium range, twin-engine, jet, narrow-body airliner manufactured and developed by the American company Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The Boeing 737 is the highest selling turbofan passenger aircraft in aviation history. This model has been manufactured without interruption by Boeing since 1967. It is the most widely used model on domestic flights in the United States. The Boeing 737-100 was christened on 17 January 1967 and made its first flight on 9 April of the same year.  Lufthansa inaugurated its services with this aircraft on February 10,

D-CHECK

Aircraft maintenance   checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial and civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage. Military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may, or may not, be similar to those of commercial and civil operators The D check, sometimes known as a "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV), is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. This check occurs approximately every 6-10 years. It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Even the paint may need to be completely removed for complete inspection of the fuselage metal skin. Such a check can generally take up to 50,000 man-hours, and 2 months to complete depending on the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. The requirements and the tremendous effort involved in

JET ENGINE

TURBOJET The basic componets are still the compressor, combustor, and turbine. The turbojet gets its propulsive power from reaction to the flow of hot gases. Air enters the inlet and ts pressure is increased by the compressor. Fuel is added in the combustor and the expansion created by heat forces the turbine wheel to rotate. The turbine in turn drives the compressor. The energy remaining downstream of the turbine in the tailpipe accelerates into the atmosphere and creates the reaction we refer to as thrust. TURBOFAN The turbofa, in effect, is a ducted, multi-blade propeller driven by a gas turbine engine. This fan procedures a pressure ratio on the order of 2:1 or two atmospheres of compression. Generrally, turbofan contain 20 to 40 fixed pitch blades. They were developed to provide a compromise between the best features of the turbejet type cruise speed capability and yet retains some of the short field takeoff capability of the  turboprop.
