air inlet
Aerospace; Control systems
Large, smooth aluminum or magnesium duct at mouth of engine which conducts air into the compressor with minimum turbulence and restriction.
aluminum alloy
Aerospace; Control systems
Any of a variety of alloys formed by combining commercially pure aluminum with other metals or materials such as copper, silicon, manganese,magnesium, and zinc. These alloying agents maybe added ...
ambient
Aerospace; Control systems
Condition of atmosphere existing around the engine, such as ambient pressure or temperature.
