The Engine?
So can anyone help out with Car Engine VS Aircraft Engine?
I am working on props, so i am guessing that a prop aircraft is aircooled and no EMS? Not sure, but i would be grateful for any help you can offer.
One other thing, i picked Diesel as my engine fuel... Do Aero Diesels just take normal/car diesel?
Thanks all...
yes they can run on normal Car Diesel or Jet fuel which is refined parrafin, Unlike most countries that allow the dual fuel use the UK prohibits auto diesel usage though. modern Aircraft diesel engines have a full managment system, FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control), indeed the likes of the twin star when you start it up, it runs a self test where it checks the prop, and all the engine parameters before returning control to you. I have added a few links that may be of use, I would suggest contacting them, they may well help out with some info
