RAT - RAM AIR TURBINE

Did you know the term RAT in relation with large airliners ?

-- 2 out of 10 Food poisons incident reported due to RAT contamination in large airliners.

--An emergency tertiary equipment used to generate some power to vital equipments also to get some thrust (forward force).

Which of these statements were correct ?


Ok the second one was the correct answer, RAT- Ram Air Turbine - a tertiary emergency fan deployed from beneath the belly of aircraft  in between two large wings , used to generate some power, in case if all  engines flame out occurs , it also generates some forward force and it also gives some lift and control based on atmospheric air speed, temperature etc.,
Am i wrong, may be, i too a learner, suggestions were always welcome friends, happy learning!
