BASIC HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Egnr.Patrick muhindi
, OBJECTIVE
• AT THE END OF THE LESSON,THE STUDENT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A BASIC
UNDERSTANDING OF A/C HYDRAULICS.
, SCOPE
• (A) INTRODUCTION
• (B) HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES
• (C) BASIC HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
• (D) HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
• (E) HYDRAULIC ACTUATION
• (F) EMERGENCY SYSTEMS
, INTRODUCTION
• Hydraulic is derived from Greek word for water
and originally concerned only the study of water
forces (Hydrodynamics)
• Hydraulics encompasses the study of liquid
forces
• Aircraft utilize both hydraulic and pneumatic
systems for power (pneudraulics)
• Generally –
➢Hydraulics is used when high pressures and
precise control are required
➢Pneumatics is used with low pressures and
where precise control is not required
