In aircraft design and engineering, the concept of “Work of Aircraft System” refers to the energy expended or transferred by a specific system or component within the aircraft while performing a task. Work is a measure of the effort or energy required to accomplish a particular function or operation. Here’s the definition and SI unit for work in aircraft systems:
Formula: The formula for calculating work (W) is based on the force (F) applied over a certain distance (d):
- Work (W) is measured in joules (J).
- Force (F) is the force applied, measured in newtons (N).
- Distance (d) is the distance over which the force is applied, measured in meters (m).
