Aerospace; Control systems
Specific locations on the engine designating temperature or pressure-measuring locations. For example, T3 means the third temperature pickup on the engine.
Engine oil temperature indicating system
Aerospace; Control systems
Device electrically connected to the 28 VDC system which transmits temperature readings to the indicator in degrees centigrade.
Engine speed notation
Aerospace; Control systems
The capital letter N, which represents the rotational speed of the engine. When a number is placed after the N (as in "N1"), it indicates a specific system on the engine.
Exhaust gas temperature indicator
Aerospace; Control systems
Sensitive millivolt metre calibrated in degree centigrade, activated by an electrical force generated by its thermocouple.
Exhaust diffuser
Aerospace; Control systems
Section composed of an inner and outer housing, separated by hollow struts across the exhaust passage. It forms a divergent flow path for the exhaustgases.
Fir tree mount
Aerospace; Control systems
Manner of attaching the blades to the disc in the turbine rotor assembly. The root of the blade where it is attached to the disc is shaped like a fir tree.
