飛機(jī)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)術(shù)語(yǔ)英文解釋（R-S）
 

Radial inflow turbine --  type of turbine made by some manufacturers, not used in any Army aircraft today, even though it is rugged and simple, relatively inexpensive, and easy to manufacture. Similar in design and construction to the centrifugal-flow compressor.   Ram --  the amount of pressure buildup above ambient pressure at the engine's compressor inlet due to the forward motion of the engine through the air (initial momentum of the air).   Ram air pressure --  free stream air pressure, provided by the forward motion of the engine,   Ram ratio --  the ratio of ram pressure to ambient pressure.   Ram recovery --  the ability of an engine's air inlet duct to take advantage of ram pressure.   Rear of engine --  end of engine from which exhaust gas is expelled.   Reverse flow --  change in direction of airflow in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine.   Rotational direction --  direction of movement of the rotating part, determined by viewing the engine from the rear.   Rotational speed --  speed at which a propeller, rotor, or some other rotating part rotates; measured in revolutions per minute.   Scavenge oil system --  method of returning oil from the engine to the oil tank for cooling and reuse.   Scavenger pumps -- 
 

those that drain oil from the sumps at various parts of the engine, return it through the oil cooler, and back to the oil tank.   Scoring --  multiple scratches, usually parallel and resulting from the same cause.   Secondary air --  large surplus of air that cools the hot sections of a gas turbine engine to lower temperatures.   Shaft horsepower (SHP) --  energy used to drive the compressor and accessories in a turbine engine.   Shot peening --  process used to work-harden metals.   Shroud --  device used with turbine rotor to prevent blade tip losses and excessive vibrations. The shrouded blades can be thinner than unprotected ones.   Simplex nozzles --  single-orifice channels through which highly atomized and accurately shaped sprays of fuel go into the combustion chamber.   Solvent immersion --  cleaning method in which parts are immersed in solvent to remove carbon, gum, grease, and other surface contaminants.   Span --  dimension of an airfoil from tip to tip or from root to tip.   Spar --  any principal structural member in an airfoil running from tip to tip or root to tip.   Specific heat --  the ratio of the thermal capacity of a substance to the thermal capacity of water.   Speed governor --  device to relieve the pilot from resetting the power lever when outside air temperature and pressure change. Consists of flyweights balanced by a spring.
