• Subtopic: Aircraft Construction and Components On Wednesday, 24/09/2025, Capt. Carlos Muga discussed various aspects of aircraft construction, focusing on propellers, or "hélices" in Spanish. He mentioned the importance of maintaining a 60° angle for normal travel with "Hzl. benzynco" and a 90° angle for aircraft utilization. Hydraulic pressure is crucial as it helps control the primary flight controls, which are essential for flying. Without these, flight is impossible. Flaps are used for landing, and they require the nose of the aircraft to be slightly raised. Primary controls are indispensable for flight. An aircraft moves in three dimensions and is controlled by moving it about one or more of its axes. The longitudinal, or roll, axis extends through the aircraft from nose to tail, passing through the center of gravity (CG). The lateral, or pitch, axis extends across the aircraft through the wing tips, also passing through the CG. The vertical, or yaw, axis passes vertically through the aircraft, intersecting the CG. All control movements cause the aircraft to move around one or more of these axes, allowing for control in flight. Primary flight controls include ailerons, r...
