Emergency Power in the Sky #shorts #plane

Have you ever seen a small propeller emerge from an airplane's fuselage during an emergency? That's a sign that the airplane's main system is failing. That little device is called a ram air turbine (RAT). It only deploys when the plane loses all electrical power from the main engines and generators. Once activated, the RAT uses the aircraft's flight speed to capture airflow and spin it. This generates enough emergency electricity to power critical systems, such as the rudder controls, flight instruments, and communications. Though small, the RAT is a last-resort system that can keep an airplane under control until it lands.
