AIRCRAFT
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
The
word hydraulic is based on
the Greek word
for water, and originally
meant the study
of the physical
behavior of water
rest and in
motion. Today the meaning has
been expanded to
include the physical
behavior of all
liquids, including hydraulic fluid.
It has
a great role
in aviation. Early aircrafts has
hydraulic brake system. As
aircraft became more
sophisticated newer systems
with hydraulic power
were developed.
Landing gear, wing
flaps, speed and wheel
brake, and flight control
surfaces are the
different parts commonly
operated by hydraulic
systems.
It has
the advantages of
light weight, ease of
installation, simplification
of inspection and
minimum maintenance requirements. Hydraulic operations
are almost 100% efficient, with only
a negligible loss due to fluid
friction.

All hydraulic
systems are essentially
the same, regardless of their function. Regardless of
application, each hydraulic system
has a minimum
number of components, and some
type of hydraulic
fluid
