Hydraulic Pump
Aerospace Engineering · Last updated: July 30, 2026 · How this entry was written
Definition: A device that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy by pressurizing fluid. It is essential for powering hydraulic actuators in aircraft systems.
Example in context
“The hydraulic pump must be inspected for wear before every flight to ensure reliable landing gear operation.”
“Hidrolik pompa, iniş takımının güvenilir çalışmasını sağlamak için her uçuştan önce aşınma açısından kontrol edilmelidir.”
Where engineers use it
The hydraulic pump is referenced during system pressure tests and leak checks in the aircraft's hydraulic bay. Engineers need its flow rate and pressure data to diagnose system performance issues.
Synonyms: H/P, hyd pump
Practice: can you use “Hydraulic Pump” at work?
During preflight inspection, a low hydraulic pressure warning appears. You must determine whether the hydraulic pump is the source and explain your diagnostic steps.
