axial-centrifugal compressor (gas turbine engine component). A combination axial and centrifugal
compressor used in a gas turbine engine.
The axial-flow portion of the compressor serves as the low-pressure stage, and the centrifugal
portion serves as the high-pressure stage.
axial-flow compressor (gas turbine engine component). A type of compressor used in gas turbine
engines in which the air passes through the compressor in essentially a straight line, parallel to the axis of
the compressor.
The compressor is made of a number of stages of rotating compressor blades between stages of
stationary stator vanes. The compression ratio is determined by the number of stages of compression.
axial-lead resistor (electrical component). A discrete electrical component which provides a given
amount of resistance to a circuit.
The wire leads of an axial-lead resistor extend from the ends in a direction parallel to the axis of
the resistor. The resistance value and tolerance is indicated by a series of colored bands See illustration for
resistor color code.
axial load (bearing load). The load on a bearing parallel to the shaft on which the bearing is mounted.
Axial loads are usually carried by ball bearings or tapered roller bearings.
The thrust load produced by a propeller is an axial load, and it is carried into the engine crankcase
through the thrust bearing.

axial loading (gas turbine engine compressor force). An aerodynamic force that tries to move the
compressor forward in its case. Axial loading is supported in a gas turbine engine in ball bearings.
axial turbine (gas turbine engine component). A turbine turned by a fluid flowing through it in a
direction approximately parallel to the shaft on which the turbine wheel is mounted.
axis. A straight line about which a body can rotate.
axis of rotation (helicopter rotor). The line through the rotor head of a helicopter at right angles to the
plane of rotation. The blades rotate around this axis.
axis of rotation (propeller). The center line about which a propeller rotates.
axis of symmetry. An imaginary center line about which a body or object is symmetrical, or has the same
shape on either side.
axle. The shaft on which a wheel is mounted and about which the wheel is free to rotate.
axonometric projection (aircraft drawings). A projection used in mechanical drawing that shows a solid,
rectangular object inclined in such a way that three of its faces are visible. An isometric projection is a form
of axonometric projection.
azimuth. Angular measurement made in a horizontal plane and in a clockwise direction from a fixed
reference direction to an object.

babbitt. A soft, silvery alloy of tin, lead, copper, and antimony used for main bearing inserts in some
aircraft reciprocating engines.
Babbitt has a very low coefficient of friction, and its dimensions change very little with changes in
its temperature.
back (propeller nomenclature). The curved surface of a propeller blade. The back of a propeller blade
corresponds to the upper surface of an airplane wing.
back course (instrument flight). The reciprocal of the localizer course for an ILS (Instrument Landing
System).
When flying a back-course approach, an aircraft approaches the instrument runway from the end
on which the localizer antennas are installed.
back current (semiconductor device). Current that flows in a semiconductor when the junction is
reverse-biased. Back current is also called reverse current.
backfire (reciprocating engine). A loud noise, or explosive sound, made by a reciprocating engine when
the fuel-air mixture in the induction system is ignited by gases which are still burning inside the cylinder
when the intake valve opens.
A lean fuel-air mixture burns more slowly than a rich mixture, and it can still be burning during
the time of valve overlap (the time when both the intake and the exhaust valves are open). This causes a

backfire.
backfire (welding). A condition in which the flame burns back inside the tip of an oxy-gas torch. If a
backfire occurs, the gases must be shut off at the regulator to stop the fire inside the torch.
background noise (electronic equipment). Any noise heard or seen in a piece of electronic equipment
when no signal is present. Background noise in a radio receiver is normally heard as a steady hiss.
backhand welding. A method of welding in which the flame is directed back over the finished weld, rather
