The maximum altitude at which a helicopter can support itself without forward motion. Hovering ceiling is normally given in two figures: in ground effect (IGE) and out of ground effect (OGE).
Industry:Aviation
The maximum altitude under standard atmospheric conditions at which an aircraft reciprocating engine can deliver its rated horsepower.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum amount of DC voltage that can safely be applied across the plates of a capacitor.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum amount of electrical pressure (voltage) that can be placed across an insulator before it breaks down and allows electrons to flow through it.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum amount of tensile load, in pounds per square inch, a material is able to withstand without being permanently deformed.
Any time a material is loaded to less than its elastic limit and the load is released, the material will return to its original size and configuration. When loaded beyond its elastic limit, it will deform and not return to its original condition.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum amount of voltage that can be placed across a dielectric material without it breaking down and conducting. Dielectric strength is normally measured in volts per millimeter of thickness.
Industry:Aviation
