AMT 117:Theory Of Flight MIDTERM MODULE III ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited CATEGORIES IN AVIATION ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited CATEGORIES IN AVIATION 1. CIVIL AVIATION 2. MILITARY AVIATION CIVIL AVIATION ❖Is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military aviation, both private and commercial flights. 2 categories of Civil Aviation - Commercial Aviation - General Aviation ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited 1. Commercial Air Transport ❖Includes airlines that provide passenger and cargo transport services for hire, such as major airlines and charter services. Scheduled Non-scheduled ○ Charter ○ On demand (air-taxi, commercial business aviation) ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited What is AIR CHARTER? - IS THE BUSINESS OF RENTING AN ENTIRE AIRCRAFT AS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT SEATS. https://www.aircharterguide.com/operators/philippines/ph ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited AIR CHARTER https://www.aircharterguide.com/operators/philippines/ph ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited 2. GENERAL AVIATION (GA) ❖Encompasses all other civil flying, such as private flying, flight training, agricultural spraying, and medical evacuation ❖Non-commercial business aviation ❖ Instructional flying ❖ Pleasure flying ❖ Aerial work FLYING SCHOOL (FLIGHT TRAINING) - IS A COURSE OF STUDY USED WHEN LEARNING TO PILOT AN AIRCRAFT.

Lockheed C-130 Hercules ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited MILITARY AVIATION Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper UAV Drone Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey Classes of Aircraft ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited AIRCRAFT ▪ Aircraft is any structure that is intended for navigation through the air and that is supported either by its own buoyancy or by the dynamic action of air against. An aircraft is any machine or vehicle capable of flying by gaining support from the atmosphere. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited CATEGORIES OF AIRCRAFT 1. Lighter-than-air-aircrafts Balloons Airships 2. Heavier-than-air-aircrafts Powered (Rotorcrafts, Airplanes) Unpowered (Gliders) CATEGORIES OF AIRCRAFT 1. Lighter than Air Hydrogen Helium - Aircraft that ascend because it contains a large volume of gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. The most commonly used gasses are helium and hot air. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Lighter-than-air-aircraft Balloon - a balloon is an unpowered aerostat, which remains aloft or floats due to its buoyancy. A balloon may be free, moving with the wind, or tethered to a fixed point. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Types of Balloons 1. Hot Air Balloon - most common type of balloons used in aviation for recreational purposes. They work on the principle that hot air is lighter than cool air. A burner heats the air inside the balloon's envelope, causing it to become lighter and rise. As the air inside the envelope heats up, the balloon becomes buoyant and takes off. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Types of Balloons 2. Gas Balloons- type of aviation balloons that use a lighter-than-air gas, such as hydrogen or helium to achieve buoyancy. Unlike hot air balloons that rely on heated air, gas balloons are filled with a gas that is less dense than the surrounding air. These balloons are used for long-distance flights and record-setting attempts. Helium is safer due to its non-flammable nature, hydrogen was historically used but is highly flammable and is not commonly used anymore due to safety concerns. Types of Balloons 3. Rozière Balloons: a hybrid type of balloon that combines both hot air and lighter-than-air gas principles. They have both a heated air compartment (hot air balloon section) and a non-heated gas compartment (gas balloon section). This design allows for more control over the balloon's ascent and descent by adjusting the amount of heat and gas used. Rozière balloons are often used for scientific research and long-duration flights. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Lighter-than-air-aircraft Airship Is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power. Inflatable/Deflatable airships are called blimps ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited CATEGORIES OF AIRCRAFT 2. Heavier-than-air-aircrafts Heavier-than-air aircraft are those that require aerodynamic lift to fly, as they are denser than the air around them ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Heavier-than-air-aircraft 1. Rotorcraft It is a heavier-than-air flying machine that uses lift generated by rotary wings or rotor blades, that revolve around a mast. TWO TYPES OF ROTORCRAFT ❑ Helicopter - a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. - Comes from the Greek word “Helix” (spiral/whirl) and “Pteron”(wing) - It is also known as heli, chopper, helo. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Kamov Ka-50 MD Helicopters MD Explorer Sikorsky S-97 Raider Kaman K-Max, Missoula MT Bell UH-1 Iroquois Helitack retrofit Boeing CH-47 Chinook ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited TWO TYPES OF ROTORCRAFT ❑ Autogyro is a type of rotorcraft which uses an unpowered rotor in autorotation to develop lift, and an engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a fixed-wing aircraft, to provide thrust. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing through the rotor disc to generate rotation. GBA's Hawk 4 VPM M-16 ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Heavier-than-air-aircraft 2. Glider - is a heavier-than- air aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited 2 Types of Glider ❑ Hang Glider ❑ Sailplane ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited Heavier-than-air-aircraft 3. Airplane - is a powered, fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited TYPES OF AIRPLANE ❑ Single engine ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited ❑ Multi-engine ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited THANKS FOR LISTENING
