Rangkuman Aircraft System Nacelle and stabilizer.

Nacelle

The nacelle is a cover housing (separate from the fuselage) that holds engines on an aircraft.
The engine is covered by a cowling, or in the case of some airplanes (nacelle). The power-plant usually
includes both the engine and the propeller to provide the power, also generates electrical, provide
pneumatic and hydraulic power.
Function of the nacelle:
 Smooth airflow (around and into the eninge) to decrease drag and give engine perfoemance.
 Prevent damage engine components.
 Addition strenght to the engine structure.
 Permit services and access to the engine.
Streamlined enclosures used on multi-engine aircraft primarily to house the engine (Round or Spherical).
Located above, below, or at leading edge of the wing on multi-engine aircraft.
The framework usually consist of structural member similar to those of the fuselage.
The nacelle is the fairings and the components that surround the engine. The nacelle gives an
aerodynamically smooth surface to the strut and engine. The nacelle also contains these items:
 Inlet cowl
 Fan cowl
 Fan duct cowl and thrust reverser
 Primary exhaust nozzle
 Exhaust plug.
All the skin-panels of nacelles made of composite are provided with lightning protection strips.

 A nacelle or pod:
Provide an aerodynamically for strut mounted engine.
Protects the components mounted on the engine.

A nacelle or pod consists:

 Skin.
 Cowling.
 Structural members.
 Fire wall.
 Engine mount.

Engine mount usually attached to the fire wall by bolts, nut and
vibration-absorb rubber cushion.
Detachable covering engine that purpose of the cowling or nacelle is to stream-line the flow of air around
the engine and to help cool the engine by ducting air around.

Nacelle
Which completely encloses the engine, a nose cowl, and exhaust attached to the engine and forms air
intake fairing.
The inboard side a firewall (fireproof) provides clearance in order to limit the propagation of fire.
Pylon:
Support of the powerplant and transmit its thrust into the adjacent airframe underwing (“pylon”) or rear
fuselage (“stub-wings”).

Engine Mount
Attached to its pylon by two or three mounts, must be
capable of carrying side, vertical, thrust and torque loads
also provides vibration-dampening.

Stabilizer

Stabilizer is an aerodynamic surface that control movable of control surfaces (longitudinal/pitch and/or
directional/yaw) stability and control.
In conventional an empennage (Tail of aircraft) separate vertical (fin) and Horizontal stabilizers.
Empennage consists of a tail cone, fixed aerodynamic surfaces (stabilizers) and movable aerodynamic
surfaces.

Tail cone, aft end of the fuselage include fixed surfaces (Vertical and Horizontal stabilizer) that help
stabilize the aircraft and movable surfaces (Rudder and Elevator) that help to direct an aircraft during
flight.
Two or multispar vertical stabilizer attached to the center tail fuselage.
Trailing edge of stabilizer is movable (rudder) allows the aircraft to control yaw.
Another variation is combine which form a vee shape (V-Tail).

3|P ag e
Vertical stabilizer built with the tail section, where the rudder installed.
Longitudinal stability and control are provided by the horizontal surfaces, Directional stability and control
are provided by the vertical surfaces.
Vertical stabilizer is normally bolted at the top center tail fuselage to facilitate removal and installation.
Trimmable horizontal stabilizer installed to the fuselage at three points (THS actuator and two hinge
points on either side of the fuselage).
Principal Structure

Main torque box of Vertical stabilizer: Spars, Ribs, Stringers, and Skins. The leading edge and tip are
removeable.
The torque box of horizontal stabilizer: Spars, Ribs, Stringers, and Skins with the removeable leading
edge.

Horstab attached by two spherical bearings (integral to structure) for the pivot (rear spar) and actuating
drive unit (front spar) trimmable longitudinal control.

The rudder, aft of the vertical stabilizer to move aircraft nose left or right.

5|P ag e
Fixed airfoil parallel to the aircraft plane provide directional stability consists of torsion box, leading and
trailing edge, tip, and fin.
Torsion box consists spanwise spars, chordwise ribs and end rib.

Individually removeable leading edge.

Fin is aerodynamic fairing to reduce drag.

6|P ag e
All fairings bolted to brackets attached to the fuselage provides access to anti icing ducts.
Fin should be adequately supported during installation prevent damage.

Construction concerned, the wings, the stabilizers and the vertical stabilizers have much in common;
some of primary structural components of the stabilizers are made of laminations of Carbon Fibre
Reinforced Plastic other components are made of the same material or Glass-Fibre Reinforced Plastic
(GFRP) or of light alloy.
Horizontal stabilizer, THS mounted through and supported by the fuselage tail section; trimmable
adjusted by means of a trim control wheel that comprises of a spar box (Center, the LH and RH), the
leading and trailing edges, stabilizer tips, and the stabilizer attach fittings.

7|P ag e
Static dischargers are installed near the tip of the trailing edge. They let static electricity discharge from
the aircraft.

The horizontal stabilizer control system of the aircraft is representative of the systems used in many
aircraft inputs introduced at the stabilizer actuator.
