Where is the RAT on commercial aircraft?
Monday, October 1st, 2007presidentrichardnixon asked:
I see little triangular indentations on aircraft, often near the undercarriage. Does this mean that air can be directed to a turbine inside the aircraft if necessary? On this Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_air_turbine), I see that it is external.
Upon closer inspection of those inlets I see that there is a small flap that seems to control the air entering the aircraft. Is that correct, and is there a switch for the pilot to control it?
