Aircraft Piston Engine???

Hi,

I have no idea about aircraft piston engine (single or multi- engines) and its systems. It will be nice if I can get some information regarding this subject especially concerning my questions:

-Are aircraft piston engine fitted with supercharger or turbocharger? (it will be great if you can mention the types of supercharger/turbocharger used in these aircraft).

-I would like more information about turbo-compound engines. Are they installed on recent aircraft?

-I would like also an idea about the hydraulic & electric system, and also the flight controls in this type of aircraft.

-If the engine fails in flight, is there a standby power (electric & hydraulic) to maintain the control of the aircraft. Same question for multi-engines in case of all engines flame-out or failure? (if it is possible in these engines)

Feedback very appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards.
