WHAT DOES RAM-AIR TURBINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ram-air turbine

Ram air turbine

A ram air turbine is a small turbine that is connected to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power source. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft. With the exception of crop dusters, modern aircraft only use RATs in an emergency — in case of the loss of both primary and auxiliary power sources the RAT will power vital systems. Some RATs produce only hydraulic power, which is in turn used to power electrical generators. In some early aircraft, small RATs were permanently mounted and operated a small electrical generator or fuel pump. Modern aircraft generate power in the main engines or an additional fuel-burning turbine engine called an auxiliary power unit, which is often mounted in the rear of the fuselage or in the main-wheel well. The RAT generates power from the airstream due to the speed of the aircraft. If aircraft speeds are low, the RAT will produce less power. In normal conditions the RAT is retracted into the fuselage, and is deployed manually or automatically following complete loss of power.
