Why Did Cessna Re-Introduce The Turbo Cessna 182 Skylane?

Simple Flying

Still, other factors, such as fuel efficiency, torque, and forceful performance, could also add to the benefits of turbocharged engines. General aviation aircraft demand has increased in deliveries of all private jets after 2021, and the industry has experienced significant growth in new and pre-owned purchases.

Boeing inspects undelivered 787s over incorrectly installed fasteners, FAA aware

Aerotime

Two sources who have spoken to Reuters said that more than 900 fasteners per 787, split between the plane’s mid-fuselage, may have been incorrectly torqued or tightened. Boeing has acknowledged the issue, but insists that there was no risk to flight safety and the problem does not affect any aircraft in service.

Understanding Left-Turning Tendencies in Airplanes

Northstar VFR

Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. Left-turning tendencies are primarily caused by four aerodynamic effects:torque, spiraling slipstream, gyroscopic precession, and P-factor (asymmetric thrust).Each Lets take a quick look at all four of them: 1.

Because of engine torque and “P” factor, turns to the left will tend to steepen, and banks to the right tend to decrease. However, during power on turning stalls to the right, you may find it necessary to use right rudder to overcome torque and “P” factor, and left aileron to prevent the bank from increasing.

The concern is over fasteners that might have been incorrectly torqued, meaning they could be too loose or too tight. We would be a little concerned if we weren’t seeing an increase in numbers.” The fasteners under scrutiny connect the mid-section carbon-composite fuselage barrels to components of the interior that provide strengthening.
