| takeoff weight | peso al despegue | The weight of an aircraft or rocket vehicle ready for takeoff, including the weight of the vehicle, the fuel, and the payload. | The Free Dictionary (s.a.). «takeoff weight». The Free Dictionary. | The water load requirements must be met at each operating weight up to the design landing weight except that, for the takeoff condition prescribed in paragraph 1.6, the design water takeoff weight (the maximum weight for water taxi and takeoff run) must be used. | EASA (2005). «SPECIAL CONDITION – Water Load Conditions». EASA. |
| temperature sensor | sensor de temperatura | A device designed to respond to temperature stimulation. | The Free Dictionary (s.a.). «temperature sensor».

| transmission | transmisión | An assembly, as in a motor vehicle, that transmits power from an engine to a driving axle, usually having a manually or automatically adjustable mechanism to control the balance of power and speed. Also called gearbox | The Free Dictionary (s.a.). «transmission». The Free Dictionary. | A permanent effect resulting from airframe interaction with rotor, engine or transmission, as opposed to buffet which is a transient vibration effect resulting from either pilot action or aerodynamic effect on the airframe. | Nogueira Pérez, Susana y Lestau Sáenz, Marta (2015). «Glosario FCL». AESA. |
| transmission system | sistema de transmisión | A combination or assembly of components that forms a complex whole entity that functions as a single unit to accomplish the transmission of signals. | Your Dictionary (s.a.). «transmission system». Your Dictionary. | The transmission system transfers power from the engine to the main rotor, tail rotor, and other accessories during normal flight conditions. | Flight Mechanic (s.a.). «Transmission System (Part One)». Flight Mechanic. |
| tricycle landing gear | tren de aterrizaje triciclo | A landing-gear arrangement that places the nose gear well forward of the center of gravity on the fuselage and the two main gears slightly aft of the center of gravity, with sufficient distance between them to provide stability against rolling over during a yawed landing in a crosswind, or during ground maneuvers. | The Free Dictionary (s.a.). «tricycle landing gear». The Free Dictionary. | Tricycle landing gear consists of a forward (nose) wheel and wheel assemblies located aft of the aircraft's centre of gravity. The nose gear is steerable by means of the rudder pedals. The landing gear can be retracted into the body (or wing). This includes landing gears in which the aircraft is, in addition to the tricycle gear, supported by a central body gear as in the MD11. | IACO (2013). «ECCAIRS Aviation 1.3.0.12». ICAO. |
| turboshaft engine | motor turboeje | A gas turbine engine that delivers power through a shaft to drive a transmission, which in turn operates something other than a propeller—normally the rotor of a helicopter. | The Free Dictionary (s.a.). «turboshaft engine». The Free Dictionary. | This Special Condition defines the requirements for certification of a “30-minute Power” rating for a turboshaft engine, which covers prolonged helicopter hovering out of ground effect.
