Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA) develops and markets aviation supplies, software, and books for pilots, flight instructors, flight engineers, airline professionals, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, aviation technicians and enthusiasts. Established in 1947, ASA also provides ...
Electrical wiring installation in which the wires are tied together in bundles and clamped to the aircraft structure rather than being enclosed in conduit.
Industry:Aviation
Electricity in which the electrons flow in the same direction all of the time. Electricity produced by chemical cells, solar cells, and thermocouples is DC electricity.
Industry:Aviation
Electricity produced by light. When light strikes certain types of semiconductor materials (for example, selenium and cadmium oxides), light energy is absorbed into the material, and electrons are forced to move through it. This movement of electrons is photoelectricity.
Industry:Aviation
Electricity produced when certain crystalline materials, such as quartz or Rochelle salt, are deformed (bent or twisted) by pressure.
Industry:Aviation
Electromagnetic energy with a frequency between 3 and 30 gigahertz
(3 · 109 and 30 · 109 hertz). The SHF band is used for weather and doppler radar.
Industry:Aviation
Electromagnetic radiation whose frequency is between 3.0 and
30.0 gigahertz. At this frequency, the wavelengths are between 100 and 10 millimeters.
Industry:Aviation
Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 30 and 300 kilohertz. Low-frequency radio waves have wavelengths between 10,000 and 1,000 meters.
Industry:Aviation
Electronic circuits which operate as switches or gates. There are only two digital conditions, and these represent logic one and logic zero. These two values may be represented by high and low voltage levels, or on and off conditions.
Digital circuits containing the appropriate gates can be made to perform arithmetic and logic operations.
Industry:Aviation
Electronic or mechanical interference used to disrupt the display of aircraft on radar or the transmission/reception of radio communications or navigation information.
