• The O-type engine is the most popular for light conventional aircraft and helicopters
• Sizes < 100 hp [74.57 kW] to > 400 hp [298 kW]
• The most efficient, dependable, and economical types available for light aircraft
• Gas-turbine engines are being installed in some light aircraft, but their cost is still prohibitive for the
average, private airplane owner. Source: Wild, T.W., Davis, J.M. (2018). Aircraft powerplants. Powerplant certification. 10th ed. McGraw-Hill

first nuclear bombs.
The Enola Gay dropped the first bomb on
Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and the
Bockscar dropped the second bomb on the
city of Nagasaki three days later.
The B-29 was used during World War II only in
the Pacific, and later in the Korean War.

1.3. Innovations on the AIRCE: Variable stator compressor

The need to adjust the flow direction in a multistage


high-pressure ratio compressor (in starting and off-
design) prompted Gerhard Neumann of GE to invent
variable stator.

By allowing the stators to rotate in pitch, compressors


can operate at higher pressure ratios and away from
stall.

Modern G.T. engines use variable stators in their LPC


and IPC.
The high-temperature environment of HPC has not
variable stators. Patent US6984105B2

1.3. Innovations on the AIRCE: Transonic compressor

The transonic fan is born at a high shaft speed that creates a


relative supersonic flow at the tip and a subsonic flow at the hub.

A modern transonic fan produces a stage pressure ratio of ∼1.6.

The Jumo 004B produced a cycle pressure ratio of 3.14 with eight
stages (average stage pressure ratio of ∼1.15)

To achieve a pressure ratio of 3.14, we need only two transonic


fan stages instead of eight.

Conclusions Unit 1 / section 1
Aero engines must be:
• Reliable: as losing power in an airplane is a substantially greater problem than in road-vehicles
• Operate at extreme temperature, pressure, and speed
• Light weight as a heavy engine increases the empty weight of the aircraft and reduces its payload
• Powerful: to overcome the weight and drag of the aircraft
• Small and easily streamlined to minimize the created drag
• Field repairable to keep the cost of replacement down. Minor repairs should be relatively inexpensive and
possible outside of specialized shops
• Fuel efficient to give the aircraft the range and maneuverability the design requires
• Capable of operating at sufficient altitude for the aircraft
• Generate the least noise
• Generates the least emission
