		A ram air turbine (RAT) is a small (A mechanical device that rotates to push against air or water) propeller and connected (Engine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction) generator used as an emergency power source for (A vehicle that can fly) aircraft.
		Modern aircraft generate power through the main engines or additional fuel-burning turbines, (additional info and facts about auxiliary power unit) auxiliary power units, often a small tail-mounted jet engine.
		This is a list of aviation incidents involving a ram air turbine

	Spangdahlum AB 61-68
		The "RAT" (ram air turbine) on the bottom right fuselage is still extended (to fill in for a failed utility hydraulic system pump?) and the ground crew is removing the pylon carts before towing that THUD outta the mud...
		After the conversion, the wing ceased its "dual-base" commitment to NATO and took on the air superiority mission, training in dissimilar air combat tactics in multiple theater scenarios.
		(referring to the sun, and the excellence required of all Air Force personnel), and retains the five white stars of the Southern Cross for the wing's WWII exploits in the South Pacific.

	The SAAB 35 Draken
		This new aircraft was to have a speed of at least Mach 1.4; be able to operate off of specially-built sections of public roadway under the Swedish BASE 90 distributed airbase scheme; and was to be rugged, easily maintained, and cheap to operate.
		The third prototype was in the air in September 1956 and flight tests resumed, with the other two machines eventually repaired and rejoining the program.
		Each wing pylon normally carried a single RB24 air to air missile (AAM), which was a license-built US AIM-9B Sidewinder heat-seeker AAM, while the centerline pylon was "wet" and was usually used to carry an external tank with a capacity of of 530 liters (140 US gallons).

	The Saab 35 Draken
		This new aircraft was to have a speed of at least Mach 1.4 and be capable of operating from existing airbases, as well as stretches of road that had been specially reinforced to allow use as dispersed airfields.
		A drag chute was fitted at the base of the vertical tailplane to reduce landing roll.
		The J35X was similar to the J35F, but had greater fuel capacity, structural reinforcement, a new outer wing, and a runway arresting hook.

	Martin Marietta AGM-62 Walleye
		In that year the USAF also ordered its first batch of Walleyes, but Air Force use of this weapon was very limited.
		Power for the TV and other systems was provided by a ram-air turbine driven by a small propeller in the missile's tail.
		The TV-guidance system proved to be quite successful when used against targets which stood out clearly against the background, but capability to remain locked on low-contrast targets was decidedly unsatisfactory.

		Answer: An isobar is a line that joins places of equal pressure on a meteorological chart.
		Answer: TAT (total air temperature) is the product of the (SAT) static air temperature and adiabatic compression (ram) rise in temperature as recorded by the temperature probe.
