Aircraft Engineering in Practice

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1931
IT is a matter for congratulation that we are able to publish this month the fully illustrated article, describing the production of a prominent type of modern aero‐engine, written by Captain J. C. Briggs. We are sure that our readers will join us in warmly thanking Armstrong‐Siddeley Motors Limited for thus revealing the details of their methods. This

Engines for agricultural aircraft

The Aeronautical Journal, 1977
This paper has been written at rather short notice, which has prevented me from going into statistics and detailed figures, as I would have wished. It is therefore given fairly broad brush treatment and concentrates mainly on the larger types of crop-spraying aircraft in the category of around 6/7000 lb all up weight. This is where the engine situation

Space and the Aircraft Engineer

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1987
EARTH is in space and it is no more extraordinary for man to use space to look down on Earth, as for centuries he has used Earth to scan the stars. Contrary to popular belief, man took to space and utilised it just as soon as he was given the means. When did the space age begin?

Aircraft Engine Maintenance and Digital Twin Technology in Aircraft Engines

Journal of Data Analytics and Engineering Decision Making
Aircraft engine maintenance stands as a critical aspect of aviation safety and operational efficiency. Traditional methods often rely on periodic inspections and scheduled maintenance routines, which may not fully capture the dynamic conditions and potential anomalies within the engine.

Optics in aircraft engines

Proceedings of the IEEE 1991 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference NAECON 1991, 2002
The authors describe optical IR&D (independent research and development) programs designed to demonstrate and evaluate optical technologies for incorporation into next-generation military and commercial aircraft engines. Using a comprehensive demonstration program to validate this technology in an on-engine environment, problems encountered can be ...

Engines for Commercial Aircraft

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1987
CHARACTERISED by fierce competition among the major producers, the civil powerplant market has recently had to come to terms with a new type of propulsion system which, if all its claims are fully realised, will bring large benefits in terms of fuel efficiency and economy of operation.

Servicing the Aircraft Engineer

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1929
EARLY aircraft relied for propulsion and for speed upon small, low‐powered internal‐combustion engines. During the course of the last fifteen years the technique of aircraft production and of transport aviation has advanced so rapidly that to‐day we are beginning to think in terms of aircraft with total horse‐powers in some cases not far short of 3,000

The Aircraft Diesel Engine

Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1930
Abstract In this paper the authors present information to show that the Diesel or fuel-injection engine in some of its modified forms is well adapted to the requirements of airplane and airship propulsion. They believe that its first and most important commercial application will be in relatively large units on large aircraft and that ...
