What does the F/A-18 structure and surfaces contain in when do they present as a hazard |
The F 18 structure and surfaces contain graphite in carbon/epoxy composite materials they present as a hazard when broken and fiber is exposed, fiber wall in bed and to expose skin and be difficult to remove, insulation of graphite composite fibers result from aircraft fires and maybe harmful to personnel |

|
|
Where is number 12 tied down ring located |
Located on the aft fuselage indoor 164 |
|
|
What are the purpose of composite materials |
Purpose of composite materials is to limit wait, increase strength and decrease effect of corrosion attack |
|
|
How many types of a pair are used on naval aircraft and list them |
There are three, they are temporary repair, one time flight repair, and permanent repair |
|
|
What does the Forward fuelelage section cover |
Covers the end of the Radon to the App edge of panel 18 including windshield canopy cockpit leading edge extension and nose landing gear |
|
|
What does the center fuelsage section cover |
From forward edge of panel 26 to aft edge of panel 55 left and right |
|
|
What does the aft fuselage section cover |
Covers from panel 62 left and right to the exhaust nozzles |
|
|
What does the leading edge extension provide and what are they extensions of |
They provide added live at high angles of attack, they are extensions of the wing leading edge |
|
|
What are the flight control surfaces controlled by |
They are controlled by various computers and hydraulic servo cylinders |
|
|
How are the ailerons commanded and what do they produce |
They are commanded asymmetrical and they produce roll motion |
|
|
Where are the ailrons located |
Located on the outboard trailing edge of each wing |
|
|
What independently deflects asymmetrically to aid the ailerons in producing roll |
Trailing wedge flaps |
|
|
What do the stabilizers do |
Deflect symmetrically to produce pitch and asymmetrically to produce roll |
|
|
What toes-in when the the AOA is less than 8 degrees to increase lift and stability |
Rudders |
|
|
What toes-out when AOA is more than 8 degrees to improve stability |
Rudders |
|
|
What does the speed brake do |
Extends into the air stream creating drag and slows down the aircrafts airspeed |
|
|
What are the LEX or Leading edge spoiler |
It's a speed brake when commanded by pilot and air speeds less than Mach 1.5 also provides a high nose down pitch when transitioning from high AOA with aggressive nose down maneuver |
|
|
What does the NLG/Nose landing gear strut assembly provide? And located where and what type of design |
Provides landing, takeoff, and taxi energy absorption, and tire/runway compliance, located underside of forward fuselage and is a duel chamber design providing a smooth long strike during take off and catapult operations |
|
|
What is the launch bar connected to |
To the NLG |
|
|
What does the launch bar provide |
And means of steering the A/C during carrier ops and engages catapult, applying catapult tow forces |
|
|
What does the launch bar provide |
And means of steering the A/C during carrier ops and engages catapult, applying catapult tow forces |
|
|
What does the MLG/Main landing gear provide, and what type of design is it and how does the MLG work |
MLG is a lever design, it provides a stable platform for A/C carrier an shore based ops, the MLG absorbs energy from ground loads during landing and taxi ops also the wheel brake are attached to MLG |
|
|
What does the wheel brakes provide |
Provides modulated individual wheel controlled braking also anti skid system with normal system to prevent wheel skid |
|
|
What is the arrest hook controlled by |
It is hydraulically controlled |
|
|
What is attached to the end of the arresting hook |
A hook point |
|
|
What happens when arresting hook is lowered and why |
Hook is lowered for carrier landing, the hook point enegaes arresting cable on deck to stop the A/C also provides a means of stopping when normal runway landing is not available |
