Pressurized Engine Component Definitions
FAAglossary.com has posted a list of definitions related to the certification of pressurized engine components. the FAA death missions from advisory circular 33.

 


PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT - Compressed air in the aircraft where the oxygen level is maintained so that the passenger and crew can breath normally.
RUNWAY - A designated area or path where the aircraft takes off and lands.

Pressurized Aircraft
An aircraft that is kept at a designated atmospheric pressure so passengers and crew can breath normally.

[edit] Pressurized flight
An empty water bottle which was closed during a commercial transatlantic flight with a cabin pressure equivalent to an altitude in the range of 6,000 to 8,000 ft, photographed when back on the ground, ...

Pressurized Cabins
Although planes such as the Boeing 247 and the DC-3 represented significant advances in aircraft design, they had one major drawback.

Other aircraft (unpressurized) have an alternate static port to be used when the outside ports fail or the static line is blocked for some reason. Usable in unpressurized cockpits and the indication will have an error as described above.

Armstrong Whitworth had also explored an auto ferry version of the Argosy, with cars driven onto the cargo deck and their drivers then being accommodated in a pressurized cabin to be built behind the flight deck above the cargo area.

Recall that water in a radiator is purposely pressurized to raise the boiling point. When was the last time your high pressure EFI system vapor locked? Keep in mind, as a pump pushes it has to pull.

The paint cup is pressurized forcing material to the nozzle. As a result, the overspray problem is minimized. Most of the paint actually adheres to the surface being painted instead of bouncing off and collecting elsewhere.

It was one of the most advanced bombers of its time, featuring innovations such as a pressurized cabin, a central fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine gun turrets.

For all those reasons, it made perfect sense when Piper introduced the Matrix, an unpressurized version of the Mirage priced $385,000 less than the inflatable airplane.

When activated, they are pressurized with air and they expand, breaking ice off the boot surfaces. Then suction is applied to the boots and they return to their original shape.

Non-experts may not make much distinction between a “pressurized” fluid and a “compressed” fluid, but in the engineering literature there is a world of difference between the two concepts.

floatplane, taildragger, multiengine, helicopter, jet, retractable gear, pressurized, high-performance, complex, etc.) — may carry passengers in any aircraft, day or night, good or bad weather (see Instrument Rating below).

They range from the lowly, 75 mph Pietenpol, to the fire breathing Pitts Special to the ultra-utilitarian, four-place Bearhawk and the 300 mph, pressurized Lanceair IV.
