To those who don't know: RAT = Ram Air Turbine, and it is used, as stated below, in emergency situations where the engines are unable to generate electricity to keep critical flight systems online (i.e. a dual engine failure). The RAT deploys and generates electricity for those aircraft systems to use.
@G4mingDelux3 No :), es el Airbus A320. Actualmente, Vueling sólo tiene aviones Airbus A321, pero hace poco ha hecho un pedido de unos A319. Un saludo!
@barcacrazy99 In case of an emergency and an engine failure the RAT will move the aircraft like a little propeller on a prop aircraft. Boeing also has this on their aircraft too.
@fsx767 That's not true. It generates electricity to provide the main functions of the aircraft to keep working, like the panels and the steering which all run on electricity.
