Aircraft first flown in 1976

Aileron

An aileron (French for "little wing" or "fin") is a hinged flight control surface usually forming part of the trailing edge of each wing of a fixed-wing aircraft.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Aileron

Aircraft canopy

An aircraft canopy is the transparent enclosure over the cockpit of some types of aircraft.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Aircraft canopy

Blade pitch

Blade pitch or simply pitch refers to the angle of a blade in a fluid.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Blade pitch

Cantilever

A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Cantilever

Cockpit

A cockpit or flight deck is the area, on the front part of an aircraft or spacecraft, from which a pilot controls the aircraft.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Cockpit

Continental O-170

The Continental O-170 engine is the collective military designation for a family of small aircraft engines, known under the company designation of A50, A65, A75 and A80.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Continental O-170

The Continental C90 and O-200 are a family of air-cooled, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder, direct-drive aircraft engines of 201 in3 (3.29 L) displacement, producing between 90 and 100 horsepower (67 and 75 kW).

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Continental O-200

Conventional landing gear

Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the center of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Conventional landing gear

Elevator (aeronautics)

Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch, and therefore the angle of attack and the lift of the wing.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Elevator (aeronautics)

Empennage

The empennage, also known as the tail or tail assembly, is a structure at the rear of an aircraft that provides stability during flight, in a way similar to the feathers on an arrow.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Empennage

Fin

A fin is a thin component or appendage attached to a larger body or structure.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Fin

Firewall (construction)

A firewall is a fire-resistant barrier used to prevent the spread of fire.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Firewall (construction)

Flap (aeronautics)

A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Flap (aeronautics)

Flat-four engine

A flat-four engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-four engine or boxer engine, is a four-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders lying on opposite sides of a common crankshaft.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Flat-four engine

France

France, officially the French Republic, is a country located primarily in Western Europe.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and France

Fuselage

The fuselage (from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped") is an aircraft's main body section.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Fuselage

Homebuilt aircraft

Homebuilt aircraft, also known as amateur-built aircraft or kit planes, are constructed by persons for whom this is not a professional activity.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Homebuilt aircraft

Leading edge

The leading edge is the part of the wing that first contacts the air;Crane, Dale: Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms, third edition, page 305.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Leading edge

Leading-edge slot

A leading-edge slot is a fixed aerodynamic feature of the wing of some aircraft to reduce the stall speed and promote good low-speed handling qualities.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Leading-edge slot

Limbach L1700

The Limbach L1700 is a series of type certified German aircraft engines, designed and produced by Limbach Flugmotoren of Königswinter for use in light aircraft and motorgliders.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Limbach L1700

NACA airfoil

The NACA airfoil series is a set of standardized airfoil shapes developed by this agency, which became widely used in the design of aircraft wings.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and NACA airfoil

Oleo strut

An oleo strut is a pneumatic air–oil hydraulic shock absorber used on the landing gear of most large aircraft and many smaller ones.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Oleo strut

Plywood

Plywood is a composite material manufactured from thin layers, or "plies", of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers, having both glued with each other at right angle.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Plywood

Pneumatics

Pneumatics (from Greek πνεῦμα 'wind, breath') is a branch of engineering that makes use of gas or pressurized air.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Pneumatics

Polyethylene terephthalate

Polyethylene terephthalate (or poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P), is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in fibres for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and thermoforming for manufacturing, and in combination with glass fibre for engineering resins.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Polyethylene terephthalate

Propeller

A propeller (colloquially often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral which, when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid such as water or air.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Propeller

Rolls-Royce Limited

Rolls-Royce Limited was a British luxury car and later an aero-engine manufacturing business established in 1904 in Manchester by the partnership of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Rolls-Royce Limited

Rudder

A rudder is a primary control surface used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, airship, or other vehicle that moves through a fluid medium (usually air or water).

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Rudder

Spar (aeronautics)

In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Spar (aeronautics)

Spruce

A spruce is a tree of the genus Picea, a genus of about 40 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal (taiga) regions of the Earth.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Spruce

Tricycle landing gear

Tricycle gear is a type of aircraft undercarriage, or landing gear, arranged in a tricycle fashion.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Tricycle landing gear

Trim tab

Trim tabs are small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a larger control surface on a boat or aircraft, used to control the trim of the controls, i.e. to counteract hydro- or aerodynamic forces and stabilise the boat or aircraft in a particular desired attitude without the need for the operator to constantly apply a control force.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Trim tab

Truss

A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Truss

Ultralight aviation

Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft.

See Coupé-Aviation JC-01 and Ultralight aviation
