What was the mission number of the Apollo that had the main engine blow up causing it not to be able to land on the moon?

The Apollo mission with the main engine failure that prevented a moon landing was Apollo 13. The crew, led by Jim Lovell, successfully aborted the mission and returned safely to Earth in a dramatic and heroic effort.


What happened to the center of the engine after Apollo 13 was launched?

The center engine of the S-II second stage of the Saturn V rocket on Apollo 13 shut down early during launch due to a liquid oxygen tank failure, which caused an explosion. The astronauts had to rely on the other engines to compensate for the loss of thrust and safely abort the mission.


What is the lunar module engine?

The lunar module engine was a rocket engine used to land and take off from the moon during NASA's Apollo missions. It was called the Descent Propulsion System (DPS) for landing, and the Ascent Propulsion System (APS) for taking off from the lunar surface. These engines were crucial for the success of the moon landings.


Did anything break on Apollo 11?

Yes, during the Apollo 11 mission, the circuit breaker for the engine arm circuit on the Lunar Module broke. This issue was quickly addressed by improvising a solution using a felt-tip pen to operate the switch.


How many engines Apollo 13?

The CSM (Command Module) had one main engine. The LM (Lunar Module) had a Descent engine and an Ascent engine. Both the CSM and the LM had some tiny steering rockets. These would not be considered "engines" as such as their purpose was not propulsion. That makes three engines. Of course, the Saturn 5 boosters were also engines, but you seemed most interested in the Apollo 13 craft itself, not the boosters that sent it up. In other words, the engines it had during the emergency, not before launch. The Lunar Module descent engine was the one that powered the Apollo 13 home, as the CSM engine could not be fired, due to the lack of electrical power the accident caused.

What do you do when you have engine failure during takeoff?

Every aircraft have their own procedure . mostly in airlines when u r in takeoff run u will calculate v speeds and depends on that the procedure will vary . for example you got one engine failure during takeoff run and its before V1 speed you can abort the takeoff and if you already crossed V1 speed you must takeoff and then you can follow the A/C engine failure procedure to land back asap using single engine.


Why is a rich mixture used during take off?

A rich mixture during takeoff provides more fuel to the engine, ensuring ample power output for a quick and efficient climb. The extra fuel also helps cool the engine during the high workload of takeoff.


What is the meaning of 'V2' speed in aviation?

In aviation, 'V2' speed refers to the takeoff safety speed. It is the minimum speed at which an aircraft can safely continue a takeoff in the event of an engine failure. Pilots use V2 speed as a reference point during the takeoff phase to ensure the aircraft has enough performance to safely climb and maneuver.


Is airplane engine work after takeoff?

No


Is the airplane takeoff controlled by the propellers or the wheels?

The aeroplane takeoff is controlled by the engine speed and the elevators.


What is balanced field takeoff?

A "balanced field" with respect to aircraft takeoff performance refers to the minimum length of runway that will allow for an aircraft to accelerate to V-1 (decision speed), experience failure of the critical engine, and then either stop in the remaining runway or continue to a successful takeoff meeting all applicable takeoff performance criteria.


What is the difference of takeoff climb out speed and takeoff safety speed for helicopter?

Takeoff climb out speed is the speed for twin engine climb out and will get performance of best rate of climb and also it is known as (vbroc) but takeoff safety speed is the speed at which the helicopter may safely air born with one engine inoperatied and also it is known as (v2)


What does v2 mean during take off?

It's the takeoff safety speed. The speed at which the aircraft may safely become airborne with one engine inoperative.


What is the problem with the Apollo 13 trajectory being low?

it was slated for the moon, so without a big engine burn, they could not return to earth


How much is the takeoff speed on jet engine aircrafts?

i think abot 20


During takeoff roll with the tow plane on the runway and the glider airborne the tow pilot must remain alert for?

Aborted take-off such as might result from engine failure.


You've cleared a Boeing 747 for takeoff and it has just begun its takeoff roll A single engine Beech is next in line holding short What are your instructions to the Beech?

Tell it to "HOLD FOR WAKE TURBULENCE". Wait two minutes, then issue clearance for takeoff.
