POWER PLANT
powerplant or engine is the propulsion of the aircraft and /
or the supplier of the electrical system, and various
supporting equipment on board, for example the air
conditioning system (AC), heating system, etc.To carry out
this function, the aircraft engine operates at extreme
temperatures, power, pressure, and speed.
To carry out this function, the aircraft engine operates at extreme
temperatures, power, pressure, and speed. For that the engine must

be reliable and safe to operate in these conditions.
• Lightweight, why should it be light? Because the weight of the engine
will increase the empty weight of the aircraft, which means that it will
reduce the payload of the aircraft.

• Small and easily streamlined, which means that must meet the
following criteria:

• Reliable, because an aircraft engine has to be able to operate. What


it takes is a small engine but has a lot of power and a streamlined
shape.Why is that ??Because the larger the surface of the engine, it
will also produce a large amount of drag, reduce the power generated
and of course have an impact on fuel waste. Therefore, the engine is
fitted with a da nacelle cowling as the engine cover which reduces
drag.

• Repairable, in this case the engine must be repaired / easily


repaired.

• Fuel efficient, efficiency is of course quite important where the


aircraft must be able to cover the greatest possible distance with low
fuel consumption

.• Able to be operated at the flying height of the aircraft.Aircraft


engines are generally divided into 2 categories, namely:
1. Engine piston, generally engine piston always uses a propeller.
2. . Turbo engine, consisting of: air intake, compressor, combustion
chamber, turbine and exhaust nozzle.The turbojet engine can be
divided into:

• Turbofan, used generally in civilian transport aircraft or subsonic


aircraft.
• Turboprop, like a piston engine, turboprop uses propeller settings.
• Turboshaft, used on helicopters.• Turbojet, this engine is used for
supersonic aircraft in military fighter aircraft
