Airframe
Fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings, fairings, airfoil surfaces (including rotors but excluding propellers and rotating airfoils of engines), and landing gear of an aircraft and their accessories and controls.

Airframe
The all-metal airframe of EV-97 Eurostar consists of metal stiffeners, frames and duralumin sheet skin. Parts are mostly joint by pop rivets and by adhesive bonding.
Airframe - the structure of an aircraft without the powerplant. It is generally considered to consist of five principle units - the fuselage, wings, stabilizers, flight control surfaces, and landing gear.

Having a clean airframe is important in the winter. Mud, slush and dirt can build up in wheel pants, elevator hinges, block brake operation and when frozen can hinder proper operation of the aircraft or endanger it.
Airframe. The structure of an aeroplane without the engine(s).
Air Intake. The scoop through which air is fed to the induction system of an aero-engine.
airframe - The structure of an aircraft, as opposed to its engine and accessories, including the fuselage, wings, empennage, landing gear (minus tires), and engine mounts.
airliner - A passenger-carrying aircraft operated by an airline.
Airframe - When the FAA inspector knows that you have only a student license and sends his kids to bum a ride with you in the plane.
...
AIRFRAME - An aircraft's structure, without power plant and systems.
AIRPLANE (AEROPLANE) - Meaning in modern usage a heavier-than-air powered craft, as opposed to a balloon or glider.
The airframe was further developed into the B-50 for the USAF, and the Soviet Union developed a virtual carbon copy Tupolev Tu-4 which was reverse engineered from confiscated B-29 airplanes ...
All the airframe manufacturers have their own blade repair/overhaul facilities. In addition to this, there are several manufacturer appointed service centres which are capable of doing blade repairs.
TT
Total Time Airframe
TTG, TTS OR TTW
Time to go, time to station, time to waypoint.
While the PA-28 airframe is essentially the same, the cockpit clearly says that the Warrior III is not yesterday's Cherokee.
The semi-monocoque airframe and aluminum skin are enhanced by the aircraft's shark-fin tail (above). The semi-reclined seating (left) provides for a comfy ride.
Ballistic Recovery System - A parachute attached to the airframe that, once deployed by the pilot, can lower the entire airframe to the ground.
The speed below which abrupt and extreme control movements are possible (though not advised) without exceeding the airframe's limiting load factors.
VFE: maximum flap extension speed (top of white arc on ASI).
At some point in 1963 or '64, the last 8 Volaircraft airframes were started. Serial numbers 020 through 028 were never completed at the Volaircraft plant.
An appropriate logbook entry will also be made in the airframe logbook. Occasionally, the inspector will issue only Phase I operating limitations. These limitations only apply to the test flying phase and they have a limited duration of one year.
Applying the preceding rules, you can actually create a number of different airplanes using just the airframe (or air-frames) provided in your simulator version.
Isolating the engine mount using rubber can reduce the vibration levels on the airframe and so reduce noise levels. Also, if your radio gear is suffering from vibration rubber isolation can help.
Annual - Mandatory inspection of airframe and powerpland that occurs every 12 months.
AOA - Angle-of-attack
AP - Auto Pilot
APR - Auxiliary Power Reserve
APU - Auxiliary power unit
ARINC - Aeronautical Radio, Inc.
More importantly, the airframe was designed so that the skin of the aircraft bore most of the stress on the plane during flight. There was no interior skeleton of metal spars, thus giving passengers more room than they had in the 247.
Thus, aluminum-alloy construction provides the best airframe for a bush plane: 1) Suitable for continuous outdoor storage; 2) Durable and rugged, and; 3) Easy to inspect, maintain, and perform field maintenance.
In general, newer aircraft are more efficient and cost less to operate than older aircraft, as a result of new airframe and engine technologies.
ICING- The accumulation of airframe ice.
Types of icing are:
a. Rime Ice- Rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled water droplets.
An airframe configuration of fixed-wing aircraft in which the forward surface is smaller than the rearward, the former being known as the "canard," while the latter is the wing.
Spin-test airplanes are equipped with cannon-powered spin-recovery parachutes on the airframe, and quick-release doors in view of the distinct possibility that the pilot will have to bail out.
GRP - glass fibre reinforced plastic; also CFRP, carbon fibre reinforced plastic. Composite materials seeing increasing use in entire airframes for GA aircraft (e.g. Beech Starship) and for components for helicopters, ...
By the early 1900's scientists and aviators from a handful of places all over the globe had developed airframes capable of being successfully controlled in flight.
Helicopters are susceptible to rotor-airframe contact while they are at low rotor RPM. They are at low rotor RPM during startup and shutdown.
