  2. Critical engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_engine

    The critical engine of a multi-engine fixed-wing aircraft is the engine that, in the event of failure, would most adversely affect the performance or handling abilities of an aircraft. On propeller aircraft, there is a difference in the remaining yawing moments after failure of the left or the right (outboard) engine when all propellers rotate ...

  3. P-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor

    P-Factor therefore determines which engine is critical engine. [6] For most aircraft (which have clockwise rotating propellers), the left engine is the critical engine. For aircraft with counter-rotating propellers (i.e. not rotating in the same direction) the P-factor moments are equal and both engines are considered equally critical. Fig. 1.

  4. SRM Engine Suite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRM_Engine_Suite

    The SRM Engine Suite is an engineering software tool used for simulating fuels, combustion and exhaust gas emissions in internal combustion engine (IC engine) applications. It is used worldwide by leading IC engine development organisations and fuel companies. The software is developed, maintained and supported by CMCL Innovations, [1 ...

  5. Counter-rotating propellers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-rotating_propellers

    Counter-rotating propellers generally turn clockwise on the left engine and counterclockwise on the right. The advantage of such designs is that counter-rotating propellers balance the effects of torque and P-factor, meaning that such aircraft do not have a critical engine in the case of engine failure.

  7. KIVA (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KIVA_(software)

    LANL's Computational Fluid Dynamics expertise hails from the very beginning of the Manhattan Project in the 1940s. When the United States found itself in the midst of the first energy crisis in the 1970s, this core Laboratory capability transformed into KIVA, an internal combustion engine modeling tool designed to help make automotive engines more fuel-efficient and cleaner-burning.

    The first game using Source 2, Dota 2, was ported over from the original Source engine. One of The Lab's minigame Robot Repair uses Source 2 engine while rest of seven uses Unity's engine. Spring: C++: C, C++, Java/JVM, Lua, Python: Yes 3D Windows, Linux, macOS: Balanced Annihilation, Zero-K: GPL-2.0-or-later: RTS, simulated events, OpenGL ...

  9. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    A more serious situation can exist if a multi-engine aircraft loses power to one of its engines, in particular the one which is positioned on the side that enhances the P-factor. This power plant is called the critical engine and its loss will require more control compensation by the pilot. Geometric pitch is the distance an element of an ...
