2007年3月28日 · My question is about these intakes, that are right by the nose of Douglas DC-8s. What's the purpose of these intakes? I haven't seen such intakes on other contemporary aircraft such as the 727 or 707, just on the DC-8. Those are for …

2004年9月12日 · They are used as fresh air intakes. The air was routed to two pneumaticly driven turbo compressors. Each system consisted of two turbo compressors, an air to air heat exchanger, a vapor cycle refrigeration system, a recirculation fan, and 3-port mixing valve.

2004年2月10日 · The DC-8, DC-10, MD11, and L-1011 all had similar intakes near the nose of the aircraft because that is where the packs are installed. Most other planes have the packs installed under the fuselage center section and these intakes are harder to see. The DC-8 is the only aircraft with prominent bumps or scoops on the ram air intakes.

The Douglas DC-8 (sometimes McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is an early long-range narrow-body jetliner designed and produced by the American Douglas Aircraft Company. Work began in 1952 towards the United States Air Force 's (USAF) requirement for …

2012年4月16日 · I'm referring to what look like air intakes of some sort near the nose of the DC-8, as you can see in this photo:

DC-8 Nose One of the distinguishing features of the Douglas DC-8 airliner, are the air scoops on the lower nose section. These intakes were for the turbo compressors for the cabin pressurization and air conditioning systems, as well as air-to-air heat exchangers.

Powered by four turbofan jet engines and capable of speeds nearly 600 miles per hour, the DC-8 made its first flight on May 30, 1958. During a 14-year production run, the DC-8 went through seven major variants for a total of 556 aircraft. The plane set world records for speed, cargo capacity and range.

Refine animations to respect DC-8 behaviors. Near completed Cockpit functionality. Complete ATI default livery and add NASA livery. Nose gear does not always return to center steering angle when leaving the ground. Some cockpit instruments currently do not function. Nose gear animation dramatically over steers when using rudder alone.

2001年5月23日 · Can someone please tell me what the "Air Intakes" on the nose of these aircraft [DC-8, DC-10, L-1011], are used for? Do they provide air for the same reason, on all 3 types? The first possibilities that come to my mind are to do with Cabin Pressurization, or perhaps Air Conditioning. However, I suspect that I'm wrong.
