A lightweight, chemical-resistant, thermoplastic material. Polyethylene resins are used for making sheets of protective covering material and containers for liquids.
Industry:Aviation
A lightweight, high-energy primary electrical cell, useful because of its long shelf life. A lithium cell uses lithium metal as its negative electrode and a gas dissolved in an electrolyte as its positive electrode. Lithium cells produce an open-circuit voltage of between 2.8 and 3.6 volts, which is about twice the open-circuit voltage of most other primary cells.
Industry:Aviation
A line drawing used to represent a system or process. A diagram can be used to trace a flow of electrons, fluid, or components in a manufacturing process.
Industry:Aviation
A line drawing using schematic symbols to show the relationship of all the components in an electrical system.
Industry:Aviation
A line drawn on a constant-pressure chart to show the pattern of points of equal pressure. These lines are similar to the contours shown on a topographical relief map that show lines of equal height.
Industry:Aviation
A line drawn on a navigational chart that crosses all the meridians of longitude at the same angle.
Industry:Aviation
A line made in a sheet metal layout that indicates the point at which the bend is started. The material on one side of the bend tangent line is the flat surface, and the material on the other side is the bend allowance.
Industry:Aviation
A line of radio bearing radiating outward from a very-high-frequency omnirange (VOR) navigation facility. There are 360 radials radiating out from each VOR, and each radial is named for the number of degrees clockwise from magnetic north that the radial leaves the facility.
Industry:Aviation
A line on a chart showing an equal value of a variable quantity. Weather maps use isobars (lines of equal pressure), isotherms (lines of equal temperature), isoshears (lines of equal wind shear), and isotachs (lines of equal, or constant, wind speed).
Industry:Aviation
A line on a constant-pressure chart which denotes the axis of maximum wind speeds at that constant-pressure surface.
