Advanced Reciprocating Powerplant Technology

Catalog description

A study in the theory, operation, construction, design, and maintenance of reciprocating powerplants installed in aircraft. Topics include the principles of the Otto cycle, reciprocating powerplant systems, and emerging trends in the design and application of reciprocating engines, including aviation diesel engines. Practical experiences include engine removal, installation, and troubleshooting to an airworthy standard, with an emphasis on disassembly and inspection of modern reciprocating engines found in single and twin-engine aircraft using visual, dimensional, and non-destructive techniques.
