Create an infographic regarding the process of operation of an aircraft pneumatic system. Indicate
illustrations or figures in every step of the process. You can use an airliner to discuss its operation.

PNEUMATIC
SYSTEM
pneumatic system is any system that uses pressurized air to move something. On aircraft, lots of different
parts of the aircraft can be moved with pneumatic components or hydraulic components, which are the
same except they use pressurized water instead of air.

ENGINE BLEED AIR SYSTEM

Air is bled from two
compressor stages of

system
HP valve can cut off bleed air
from the high-pressure port
automatically controlled by the
system

HP is only used when there is

insufficient pressure from the IP
HP valve is closed when the engine
speed is high enough and IP pressure
is sufficient

BLEED
VALVE
The air extracted from the
compressor then goes to a
bleed valve which acts as a
shut off and pressure
regulating valve

Since the temperature of the bleed

air is high, it goes through a
precooler before being
distributed to the users.

CROSSBLEED VALVE
Both systems are connected by a PREECOOLER
crossbleed duct. The precooler uses

 RAM AIR SYSTEM
Light aircraft may use ram air— a
dynamic air pressure created by
the aircraft's motion to operate
gyroscopic instruments.
They can also heat the cockpit
and cabin with ram-air heated by
engine exhaust gases or a
combustion heater, as well as
demist the windscreen.

1 The system is supplied with cold outside air whose

pressure has been increase by the forward motion of
the aircraft during flight for the purpose of operating
gyroscopic instruments in case of emergency

Outside air is introduced to
the cabin through forward-

which is commonly found on
the aircraft’s belly, wing, and
on some light aircraft, on the
