Worksheet time: 6mins
What does an in-line engine look like?
Like a normal engine
The cylinders are lined up in a row from the front of the engine to the back, with the tops pointed up
Cylinders vertically placed on each other
Cylinders stacked horizontally
How are the cylinders arranged in a horizontally opposed engine?
vertically placed on top of each other
that is not an engine type
A horizontally opposed engine has two banks of cylinders lying flat, directly opposite each other
horizontally stacked on each other
Why are horizontally opposed engines the favoured design for small aircraft engines?
the horizontally opposed engine’s flat shape generates less form drag
because thats how physics work
large aircrafts need bigger engines
it's very light so it is easy for the smaller aircrafts
What are the two types of engine arrangements we learned today?
horizontally opposed and in-line
horizontally opposed and off-line
vertically opposed and in-line
vertically opposed and off-line
What is the most common engine arrangement?
not opposed
vertically opposed
diagonally opposed
horizontally opposed
What is form drag?
brings the aircraft up
a force that GOES with the aircraft's movement in the air
a force that opposes the aircraft's movement in the air
moves the aircraft forward
TRUE OR FALSE: The in-line engine was the first mass produced engine type.
True
False
Why is it important to learn about this?
develop an understanding of subsequent and related principles of aviation
orient and generate interest
So we don't crash planes
it is not important
What was today's lesson about?
Engine arrangements
leadership
survival
drill
