The Monosoupape (French for single-valve), was a rotary engine design first introduced in 1913 by Gnome Engine Company (renamed Gnome et Rhône in 1915). It used a clever arrangement of internal transfer ports and a single pushrod-operated exhaust valve to replace the many moving parts found on more conventional rotary engines, and made the Monosoupape engines some of the most reliable of the era.
J-10B with a diverterless air intake displayed at Airshow China 2018. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow into their engines. It consists of a "bump" and a forward-swept inlet cowl, which work together to divert boundary layer airflow away from the ...
If the mass flow across the intake's capture plane does not match the downstream mass flow at the engine, the intake will unstart. This can cause violent, temporary loss of control until the intake is restarted. [3] Few aircraft, although many ramjet-powered missiles, have flown with intakes which have supersonic compression taking place inside ...
A twin-boom aircraft has two longitudinal auxiliary booms. These may contain ancillary items such as fuel tanks and/or provide a supporting structure for other items. Typically, twin tailbooms support the tail surfaces , although on some types such as the Rutan Model 72 Grizzly the booms run forward of the wing.
The MZ 202 was developed first as a 60 hp (45 kW) lightweight competitor to the liquid-cooled 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582.Later the MZ 201 was developed from the MZ 202 as a de-rated 45 hp (34 kW) version intended for motorgliders and single place ultralights that needed more power than the single-cylinder Zanzottera MZ 34.
The plane, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 90, had departed from Henderson, Nev., and was en route to Monterey when the pilot suffered a heart attack, according to the Federal Aviation ...
