Piston Engines Picture a tube or cylinder that holds a snugly fitting plug. The plug is free to move back and forth within this tube‚ pushed by pressure from hot gases. A rod is mounted to the moving plug; it connects to a crankshaft‚ causing this shaft to rotate rapidly. A propeller sits at the end of this shaft‚ spinning within the air. Here‚ in outline‚ is the piston engine‚ which powered all airplanes until the advent of jet engines. Pistons in cylinders first saw use in steam engines. Scotland’s

Aircraft Design Project Introduction You have designed a launch vehicle to insert a satellite into orbit . You now need a means to transport that satellite from your factory to the launch site. A cargo jet aircraft is the most likely candidate‚ though it may have to be unusual in size and shape because of the weight and shape envelope of the satellite design. Speed is not critically important but range is. Since the aerospace industry has become truly an international business it would be advisable

This theory was made by an Australian Army man claiming to find a plane with a “Pratt and Whitney” serial number. Earhart had a “Pratt and Whitney” serial number‚ but so did many other planes‚ so this theory is unlikely. A fourth theory is Earhart survived and made her way to Guadalcanal.
