Environmental Factor That Affects Aircraft Performance
Environmental Factor That Affects Aircraft Performance
Environmental factors
induce rough flight, leads to grave discomfort, harm to the passengers,
it also influences the reputation and economy of the
country. These factors produce an issue for pilots to require call. These factors increase the chance of other factors to return into
play and increase the chance of an accident to occur that may
later result in the incidence of a flight failure. Factors
such as volcanic ash, hurricane, and earthquake will destroy airfields,
aircraft facilities, and aviation. A change in
temperature affects air density, which may also affect the potency of the jet
engine. The higher the air temperature, the less thrust could also be created
by the engine. Generally, tenuity needs a longer takeoff distance.
Air density another environmental factor that affects the thrust. Low air
density causes reduced thrust produced by the engines, which desires higher
takeoff speed. The lift is proportional to the air density. The lower the air density, the quicker the
aircraft should go to effectively get enough lift required for takeoff. It
requires a longer runway to reach a better speed, and looking
on however long the airport’s runway is, some airplanes would
possibly risk running out of runway strip.
Mitigation
Strategy which can be used to alleviate such a problem is known as weight
restriction as an immediate action for takeoff. This consists of removing
possible things that are deemed as heavy, to reduce the overall weight of the
aircraft. Some of these may include but not limited to baggage, cargos, and
passengers. Building longer runways and flying at cooler times of the day can
also be seen as a strategy used to combat or avoid dealing with the
repercussions of increased temperature
