    Study Notes

    Aircraft Hydraulic Systems

    • Hydraulic systems are commonly used in large aircraft.
    • Hydraulic pressure is used in aircraft brakes to produce the force necessary to stop the aircraft.
    • Pascal's Law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all points within the fluid and to the walls of the container.
    • Pressure, force, and area are related by the formula: Pressure = Force / Area
    • This means that a small force applied to a small area can create a large force on a larger area.
    • Air trapped in hydraulic lines can create air pockets, which can reduce the effectiveness of the hydraulic system and cause problems, such as:
      • Reduced brake effectiveness
      • Erratic actuation of other hydraulically operated components
      • System damage
    • Air must be completely evacuated from hydraulic lines for the system to function properly.
