Reciprocating Engines and Theory

Catalog description

Theory Credit 2 Experimental Laboratory Credit 3 This course provides an overview of the theory, construction, and operation of aircraft reciprocating engines and the physical laws and characteristics governing propeller operation. Emphasis is placed on gaining a basic understanding of reciprocating engines and of fixed and variable pitch propellers. Upon completion, students should understand the inspection, service, and repair requirements of reciprocating engines; be able to demonstrate an un
