How does a tractor CVT transmission work?
CVT: This is set-and-forget cruise control ideal for jobs of varying power needs and loads, such as tilling rough and uneven ground. It takes pressure off the driver to keep the tractor at the optimum ratio because engine revs are automatically changed to maintain desired speed.
How does a Vario work?
In a simple variometer, tubing runs from a reference chamber to an outside static source. The static air pressure decreases in a climb and the air inside the chamber expands; the variometer measures the rate of airflow coming out of the chamber, either mechanically or using a heat-sensitive electrical resistor.
What is the difference between hydrostatic and CVT transmission?
Unlike Hydrostatic Transmissions there are no pumps, motors or hydraulic oil to wear out. The transmission is sealed and never needs maintenance. In fact you probably will never have to replace the CVT belt.
How does vertical speed indicator work?
The VSI uses the aircraft pitot-static system to determine the vertical speed and depicts the result on a conventional needle and circular scale instrument, or on a ribbon at the side of an Electronic Flight Instrument System EADI. Two typical VSI indications are depicted below.
What are the different types of gearbox?
In general, there are three different types of gearboxes: concentric, parallel, and right angle.
Is hydrostatic better than automatic?
A hydrostatic transmission works like an automatic transmission, but uses fluid rather than belts to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. This transmission offers a smoother ride, requires less maintenance and lasts longer.
How does the directional gyro work?
The directional gyro uses a gyroscope that resists change to its position. It’s connected to a compass card, which moves with changes to the aircraft heading and displays the compass rose direction in 5-degree increments. Mechanical friction eventually catches up and will cause the directional gyro to precess.
What is the difference of turn coordinator and turn and slip indicator?
The difference between the Turn and Slip Indicator and Turn Coordinator is that the Turn and Slip Indicator shows the rate of heading change, and the Turn Coordinator indicates both the rate of heading change as well as the rate of roll, or movement of the aircraft around the longitudinal axis.
What is the difference between a slip and a skid?
Slipping turns occur when the nose is yawed outside of the turn. This is caused by either too little rudder in the direction of the turn, or even the use of opposite rudder (adverse yaw). Skidding turns occur when the nose is yawed inside the turn. This is caused by either too much rudder in the direction of the turn.
