- Chapter 15: Ice & Rain Protection › Rain Control Systems › Windshield Wiper Systems
Rain Control Systems There are several different ways to remove the rain from the windshields. Most aircraft use one or a combination of the following systems: windshield wipers, chemical rain repellent, pneumatic rain removal (jet blast), or windshields treated with ... hydrophobic surface seal coating. Windshield Wiper Systems In an electrical windshield wiper system, the wiper blades are driven by an electric motor(s) that receive (s) power from the aircraft’s electrical system. On some aircraft, the pilot…

Induction System Icing A short discussion concerning the formation and location of induction system ice is helpful, even though a technician is not normally concerned with operations that occur when the aircraft is in flight. [Figure 3-7] Technicians should ... know something about induction system icing because of its effect on engine performance and troubleshooting. Even when an inspection shows that everything is in proper working order and the engine performs perfectly on the ground, induction system ice can cause…

Figure 9-105. Parallel power distribution system. Split-Parallel Systems A split-parallel bus basically employs the best of both split-bus and the parallel-bus systems. The split-parallel system is found on the Boeing 747-400 and contains ... four generators driven by the main engines and two APU-driven generators. The system can operate with all generators in parallel, or the generators can be operated independently as in a split-bus system. During a normal flight, all four…
