cowl flap

This has every moving part possible, even cowl flaps.

Modifications had to be made to the engines and also to the cowl flaps.

The official government investigation concluded that the engine cut out because it became too cold in the absence of the cowl flaps.

The cause was traced to the design of the engine cowl flaps which controlled air flow over the cylinders.

He checked his airspeednot good enoughthen began playing the cowl flaps and the fuel flow.

The cowl flap switches were open.

At the same time the cowl flaps, which controlled airflow through and around the troublesome engines, were being modified.

The new exhaust system required "notched" cowl flaps and heat shields just aft of the stacks.

His development of a cowl flap substantially benefited Canadian air transport and was used internationally by aircraft manufacturers and operators.

The P-40F-10-CUs had manual instead of electrically operated cowl flap controls.

Five years after Valentich's aircraft went missing, an engine cowl flap was found washed ashore on Flinders Island.

The engines featured a sliding cowl arrangement to facilitate cooling airflow instead of the normal cowl flaps, which caused too much drag.

The Wright 3350 tended to overheat partially due to reduced airflow over the rear cylinders due to restricted space caused by the cowl flap design.

An engine cowl flap sits below the rear edge of the lower cowlings and is opened as required, but normally sits level with the fuselage in flight.

Roof flaps, power steering, generation 5 NASCAR chassis, cowl flaps, are a few.

Also fitted were fake cowl flaps, operable torpedo racks and tailhook and 2 ' wing tip extensions were added.

Fibreglass wheel pants were moulded and fitted to the landing gears and fake cowl flaps were attached to a re-worked AT-6 cowling.

When the captain during his pre-takeoff checklist called, "Cowl flaps set for takeoff", the flight engineer replied "Set for takeoff", but had not actually closed them.

Belly-mounted cowl flaps are still used, but less cooling airflow is directed over the cylinder barrels and more cooling airflow is directed into side-mounted oil coolers.

When the aircraft took off and the wing flaps were retracted, the loss of lift caused by the open engine cowl flaps caused the aircraft wings to partially stall.

You could almost imagine Her Schmidt (or, more likely, his apprentice) hand-filing the detent slots in the flat alloy rods which select the appropriate fuel tank or cowl flap setting.

The open cowl flaps could also disrupt the flow of air over the wings and it was therefore necessary to close them during critical phases of flight such as takeoff when maximum lift was needed.

All of the engine controls (throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox) had separate levers which served to distract the pilot during combat to make constant adjustments or risk suboptimal performance.
