N2 SPEED SENSOR - The N2 speed sensor (also called the high-pressure rotor speed sensor) is a critical engine parameter sensor in jet engines. The N2 speed sensor measures how fast the high-pressure rotor (the N2 spool) is spinning, usually expressed as a percentage of maximum RPM (% N2).

Title: Evolution of a Legend: The X-Shaped Tail Rotor for the Mi-171A2/A3/E2 Let's continue the conversation about the modernization of the Mi-8/17 platform. The new Mi-171A2, A3, and E2 models are receiving a key upgrade—the X-shaped tail rotor. What are the advantages? ✅ Higher Efficiency: Greater thrust, especially at high altitudes and under heavy loads. ✅ Quieter Operation: Reduced noise and vibrations mean more comfort for passengers and new capabilities for special operations. ✅ Improved Safety: Enhanced characteristics for the crew and ground personnel. An Important Nuance: This rotor is part of a comprehensive upgrade package that includes a new main rotor system with composite blades and modern engines. It's a single, high-tech system. The Bottom Line: This solution is much more expensive than the classic one with metal blades, but it drastically improves flight and operational performance, taking a proven platform to a new level. What are your thoughts on the future of this upgrade?

Motor speed is determined by the supply frequency and the number of poles in the motor. The theoretical speed (also called synchronous speed) is given by the formula: Synchronous Speed (Ns)=(120×f)/P Where: Ns = Synchronous speed (in revolutions per minute, RPM) f = Supply frequency (in Hz) P = Number of poles in the motor However, the actual speed of an induction motor is slightly less than the synchronous speed due to slip (the difference between synchronous and rotor speed). Slip (%)={(Ns−N)/Ns}×100 Where: N = Actual rotor speed (RPM) So, motor speed = Ns × (1 - Slip). 👉 Summary: Speed depends on the supply frequency and number of poles. Higher frequency → higher speed. More poles → lower speed. Actual speed is always slightly less than synchronous speed due to slip.

Angle & Main Gearbox — The Power Distributor of the Jet Engine” Before a jet engine can power an aircraft, it must power itself. This is where the Angle Gearbox (AGB) and Main Gearbox (MGB) come in — the mechanical heart that distributes energy from the engine’s core to every critical system that keeps flight alive. “The gearbox doesn’t create thrust — it enables everything that makes thrust possible.”

Exhaust notes of 2&4 stroke cycle in same engine. PS: By changing the camshaft and valve timing, the same engine runs in both mode. Automating it, will make a switchable 2/4 sight engine a reality.

⭕️Did You Know? – What's Inside a Jet Engine? A jet engine is a modern marvel — but what really goes on inside this powerful machine? An annotated diagram of a jet engine breaks down the internal systems into five key stages, each playing a critical role in generating thrust and keeping aircraft flying smoothly at 35,000 feet! 🌀 Main Sections of a Jet Engine (Turbofan Type): 1. Fan – The large front fan sucks in air; some goes into the core, and most bypasses it, providing the majority of thrust in modern engines. 2. Compressor – This section compresses the incoming air, increasing its pressure before combustion. 3. Combustion Chamber – Fuel is injected and ignited, massively increasing air temperature and pressure. 4. Turbine – Hot gases spin the turbine, which powers the compressor and fan via a shaft. 5. Exhaust – The remaining gases exit at high speed, propelling the aircraft forward via Newton’s third law. 🔍 Quick Fact: Jet engines can spin at over 10,000 RPM and reac https://search.app/qWZQH

The ZF Smart Active Suspension Electronic Damper represents a cutting edge evolution in intelligent shock absorber technology. Inside the damper, oil flow between pressure chambers is precisely controlled by an electromagnetically operated valve. This valve opens or closes fluid channels in real time based on commands from the control unit, allowing instant adjustment of damping stiffness depending on road conditions and driving behavior. At the core lies an electromagnetic actuator that rapidly moves the valve, altering hydraulic resistance within the damper. A set of internal sensors (position, velocity, and acceleration) continuously monitor the piston’s motion, sending data to the Ecotrom control unit. This unit analyzes the information in milliseconds and determines whether the damper should stiffen (for stability) or soften (for comfort). An internal spring or membrane compensates for internal pressure variations, maintaining consistent performance and smooth response. The result is a predictive suspension system that adapts instantly, delivering exceptional handling, comfort, and ride quality. #ZF #ActiveSuspension #ElectronicDamper #SmartSuspension #AdaptiveDamping #AutomotiveEngineering #VehicleDynamics #CarTechnology #InnovationInMotion #FutureMobility

In aircraft engines, The Modulated Turbine Cooling (MTC) system automatically varies the cooling air sent to the high-pressure turbine (HPT) blades and vanes depending on flight/thermal conditions (power, altitude, ambient temp, transient events). By reducing unnecessary cooling flow when it’s not needed the engine wastes less core air, improving thermal efficiency and durability. JOIN PATREON to learn more- https://lnkd.in/gzCcatxh
