On a car the a/c compressor runs off the engine.
In a house the a/c compressor is run by an electric motor. (you can figure out my next question, can't you?) How is the compressor on a airliner (737, 747,etc) powered? I've never noticed a big v-belt on the engine before. If it is powered by a electric motor, if so how is the generator powered? Is there some type of power take off from jet engines? Thanks, Paul |

The new CF 7E7 is gonna eliminate bleed air ducting.
They'll use a hellforstout APU to do the work conventionally done by bleed air. This makes the airplane MUCH simpler to build and, with the CF fuselage, they can raise the humidity in the cabin to a much more comfortable level. |
