|
Main Entrance Hatch (MEH) |
The MEH is on the forward left side of the fuselage which opens outward and downward, it has four integral steps. It can be opened or closed from inside or outside the aircraft |
|
|
Fuselage Midsection Main Cabin |
Used to Transport high priority cargo and/or passengers. The aircraft is capable of carrying 10,000 pounds of cargo payload or 26 passengers and two aft compartment crewmembers. |
|
|
Cargo Ramp |
Provides cargo compartment access at the rear of the aircraft. The ramp opens to a level position and stops, but may be further lowered to contact the ground or deck for loading. |
|
|
Ailerons |
Lateral control of the aircraft. |
|
|
Flaps |
There are two flaps on each wing, one on each of the wing fold joints |
|
|
Flap and Ailerons Droop System |
Provides additional lift during takeoff, loiter, and landing |
|
|
Rudders |
Directional control of the aircraft is provided by rudders (YAW) |
|
|
Elevators |
Longitudinal control of the aircraft (Pitch). On trailing edge of the fixed horizontal stabilizer. |
|
|
Artificial Feel for Flight Control System |
Hydraulic cylinders (actuators) move in response to pilot or copilot input to move the actuators and thus move the pilot or copilot control column or pedals. Because of this, the aerodynamic forces that exist on the control surfaces are not fed back to the cockpit controls. To compensate for this, an artificial feel system in the control system produces simulated force on the cockpit controls. |
|
|
Nose Gear |
Forward section of aircraft, under cockpit. Nose gear consists of 2 Nose wheels and tires. |
|
|
Main Gear |
Mid section of aircraft outboard of fuselage, one under each engine. Main gear consists of one main wheel and tire mounted on each strut. |
|
|
Tailskid |
The tailskid is lowered and raised in conjunction with the landing gear and is used to prevent damage to the aircraft. |
|
|
Emergency Operation of Landing Gear |
If combined of flight hyd system failure occurs, the landing gear and tailskid must be extended with an emergency pneumatic system. |
|
|
Wheel/Brake |
Each main landing gear wheel has tri metallic, self adjusting, disk type hydraulic brake(wheel and brake are located on the strut mounted to the axle. The emergency brake handle is a black and yellow striped T-handle immediately. |
|
|
Nose wheel steering |
Un-stowing the handle when weight is on wheels activated the nose wheel steering system. Moving the un-stowed handle to the left or right turns the nose wheel to the left or right. Nose wheel steering is a pistol grip on the forward end of the pilot side console. |
|
|
Main Gear Strut Extender system |
The main gear strut extender system is incorporated into the landing gear system to provide sufficient clearance between the aircraft tailskid and deck hardware during catapult launch by means of extending the main gear shock struts from their normal position. |
|
|
Flight Hydraulic Power System |
Supplies power to the primary flight controls ONLY. (Ailerons, Elevators, Rudders). Has an operating pressure of 3,000 psi. |
|
|
Combined Hydraulic Power System |
Supplies power to the primary flight controls and to all other hydraulically operated subsystems. |
|
|
Wings (spread Position) |
Used for aircraft to fly. When wings are up and locked you are able to control the flaps and ailerons for flight. |
|
|
wings(fold position) |
The outer wing panels can be folded to obtain the required clearance to permit stowage aboard aircraft carrier. |
|
|
Arresting Gear |
Used to arrest the aircrafts forward movement on carrier landings. Additionally, can used for emergency landing ashore. Located on the bottom aft end of aircraft under ramp. |
|
|
Nose-Tow Catapult System |
Catapult system provides attachment to the carrier catapult launching system |
