French term

Karmans

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Aircraft Context - Trains et Freins
What exactly are these and is this the normal description for them?


I suupose that this is like 'Lockheed', which seems to be the title for brake fluid.

Karmans In the end, the term related to a fairing. My thanks to all contibutors to this and all my other conundrums!
Aug 23, 2007:
usable fuel
Robert Frankling Jul 28, 2007:
You actually have two terms hiding under the generic "karman".
It seems the generic English word is "fillet".

French term (edited): Karmans de frein

stall fence

Declined
karman de frein = stall fence ???

The other significant changes to the wing are an unusual-looking wing-root fillet that the French call a karman," and a redesigned wing stall fence. The karman looks like the nose of a wing rib attached to the fuselage of the airplane. It mimics the shape and camber of the extended leading-edge slats, so air flows more smoothly over the wing-fuselage inta-section in the takeoff or landing configurations, further reducing stall speed. Dassault says that, despite its unusual appearance, the karman adds no drag in cruise. The stall fence on the 200 is much shorter and is placed farther forward than on the 20. Research has shown that spanwise airflow at high angles of attack on swept wings can be as effectively blocked with a short fence near the leading edge as with a large fence extending over the chord of the wing. Dassault takes great pride in the fact that its airplanes require no stick pushers or other stall-barrier systems to achieve a predictable straight-ahead stall break instead of the sharp wing roll that is common in swept-wingjets.

"Von Karman Vortex Trail"

Born in Budapest, Hungary, von Kármán began his research in aerodynamics while teaching at the University of Göttingen, starting with an observation related to fluid dynamics. In 1911, while observing currents of water in a flow tank, von Kármán observed the presence of eddies (counter-rotating currents) in the wake of a moving object. This observation led to the Kármán Vortex Trail, a scientific snapshot of the structure of a wake behind a moving body under certain conditions. This discovery on the structure of airflow led to studies on air turbulence that has advanced the design and performance of aircraft.

The "wing fillets" reduce these vortices and consequent drag and vibration.

Il existe principalement deux types de train d’atterrissage :

les trains « classiques », (aussi appelé taildraggers), qui sont composés de 2 trains principaux à l’avant du centre de gravité et d’un train auxiliaire à l’arrière,
les trains « tricycles » qui sont composés de 2 trains principaux légèrement à l’arrière du centre de gravité et d’une roulette à l’avant.
