exhaust
Aerospace; Control systems
Hot gases discharged from the engine through the exhaust diffuser section.
exhaust diffuser
Aerospace; Control systems
Section composed of an inner and outer housing, separated by hollow struts across the exhaust passage. It forms a divergent flow path for the exhaustgases.
exhaust gas temperature indicator
Aerospace; Control systems
Sensitive millivolt meter calibrated in degree centigrade, activated by an electrical force generated by its thermocouple.
feedback
Aerospace; Control systems
Relay through the controls of aerodynamic forces exerted on the control surfaces and felt by the pilot.
fir tree mount
Aerospace; Control systems
Manner of attaching the blades to the disk in the turbine rotor assembly. The root of the blade where it is attached to the disk is shaped like a fir tree.
foreign object
Aerospace; Control systems
Any object such as a tool, piece of equipment, engine part (nut, bolt, lockwire) that could in any way damage the engine.
foreign object damage
Aerospace; Control systems
Commonly called FOD, harm or destruction to the turbine engine caused by foreign objects sucked into the inlet area of the engine with the required air.
