Q.1: Write down the purpose of chain

assembly. Draw the neat diagram of chain
assembly depicting all the components.
Ans:- Purpose:-(1) Chains provide strong,
flexible and positive connections, and are
generally used wherever it becomes
necessary.
(2) to change the direction of control runs in
systems where,considerable force is exerted
e.g. aileron and elevator controls. (3)The
change of direction is
achieved by the use of chain wire or pulley.
(4)A simple roller chain consists of outer and
inner plates, rollers, bearing pins and
bushes; the component parts.
(5). Chains may be found in, control column
installations, aileron controls and· elevator
controls, and in trim control systems.
Q.2: Write the short notes on:
a) Fuel Jettisoning:- (1)fuel is jettisoned
through a pipe in each wing, the pipe being
lowered into the airstream by an electrically
operated actuator.
(2)A short manifold is fitted between the main
tanks in each wing, and a jettison valve
controls flow from each tank into the
manifold; auxiliary tanks are fed into the main
tanks by the normal transfer valves, the
transfer pumps being interconnected with the
circuits operating the jettison valves.
(4) When the jettison pipe is in the retracted
position it forms a seal at the manifold} and
acts as a master jettison valve;
(5)the circuits to the jettison valves are not
armed until this pipe is locked in the extended
position.
b) Suction Valve & Non return valve:-
(1)Suction valves are fitted to enable fuel to
be drawn from the tanks by the engine driven
pumps;
(2)they are closed when booster pumps are
operating normally.

(3)A suction valve is shown in Figure it is a

simple flap type valve, which closes when a
pressure exists in the pipeline, and opens
when suction is applied to the pipeline.
Non-return valeve :-(1) Non-return valves
may be fitted in several places in the fuel
system, to provide flow in one direction only.

(2) A typical non-return valve is shown in

Figure .The casing is marked with an arrow to
show the direction of fl.ow, and, in the valve
illustrated
(3)an interference spider is fitted to the inlet
side, in order to prevent the valve from being
fitted the wrong way round.

Q.3: Draw separate neat figures for various

types of static discharger wick.
Q.4: Explain the working principal of float
operated Micro switch with figures!
Q.5: Write short notes on:
a) Pre loading indicator (PLI) Washer.
b) Fungal removal process for integral fuel
tanks.
Q.6: Define the given terms:
a) Wing Dihedral.
b) Angle of Incidence.
c) Stagger angle.
d) Angle of attack.
 e) Wing Anhedral.
Q.7: Write down the types of circuit
protection devices. Draw the circuit diagram
for Short-rated and continuous rated
breakers.
Q.8: Write down the general handling
procedures for all semiconductors. Draw a
typical Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)
device showing the insulated gate.
Q.9: Explain the description and electrical test
for a life jacket
