When you're at an airport and see propeller aircraft, you likely think it is powered by a piston engine. This is usually true among smaller planes, like the Cessa 172 Skyhawk and the Piper Archer, or ...

THE primary purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the most pressing problems involved in choosing the propeller that is most suitable for use on a particular airplane. Propeller design is not ...

A century ago the debut of propeller-driven aircraft kicked off a global aerospace technology boom that continues to this day. But since the emergence of the jet aircraft engine during World War II, ...

Certain propeller driven aeroplanes are equipped with piston engines whose fundamental "firing"-frequency coincides with the rotational frequency of the propeller. Taking the two sources as a system ...

Diesel engines are a rarity in aviation history, but they've carved out an interesting niche. While most aircraft rely on gasoline-powered piston engines or jet turbines, diesel has offered some ...
