Were the mclaren f1 gtr cars raced at the lemans 24 hours in 1995 turbocharged engines?
The engine in the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR and all subsequent GTRs is a normally-aspirated BMW V12. Yes, it actually won Le Mans in 1995.
How often are jet engines replaced?
Almost never. Jet engines on aircraft are usually overhauled rather than being replaced. Each model of engine has specific requirements to be inspected at regular hour intervals. Also, usually at some limit of hours of operation, they must be rebuilt. Some engines can extend the hours to overhaul if the inspections show the engine wear is low enough. A typical interval for overhaul might be 4000 hours, but each model is different. These engines can…
What is the probability engine failure in twin engine aircraft?
This question has way way to many undefined variables to have a specific answer. But the way to think of this: If we accept that Piston Aircraft Engines have a in flight failure every 10,000 hours on average ( this is a made up approximate number) Also we accept that having two engines doubles the risk of an engine failure to once every 5000 hrs. We further have too do some math and come up…
How long does it take a block heater to warm up?
2.5 - 3.5 hours on most v8s. The larger the engine the more time. 1.5 - 2.0 hours on 4 and smaller 6 litre engines. Ie. A 3.3 litre on a Dodge minivan needs approximately 2.5-3 hours. This is approximate, plugging your car overnight is the way to go. If your after saving some energy then 4 hours will cut for most cars.
Can self starting can be in two stroke engines?
2 stroke engines are not widely used on street bikes because of the vibration, It makes for a shaky bike and the sudden spurts of power are somewhat undesireable. Since the majority of 2 stroke engines are meant for off road use it is a matter of necessity to have a kick start. If you are out riding in the woods or desert which is where the bike is meant to be a dead battery…
How do you calculate outboard motor hours?
On some of the late model engines, this information is stored in the ECM, and can be retreived by a computer program. Some manufactorers offer multifunction gages that have the capability of storing operation hours. On the older outboards, the time was recorded by installing an hour meter, which is an option on the late model units as well.
How long is the flight from Johannesburg to Sydney Australia?
The flight time from Perth to Johannesburg (South African Airways) is 12 hours. From Melbourne to Johannesburg (V Australia) is 15 hours. And the flight time from Sydney to Johannesburg (Qantas) is 13:35 hours. The reason the Sydney flight is shorter is that Qantas use Boeing 747-400 on that route, not only do they fly faster but have four engines and are allowed to fly further south than V Australia. SAA operates Airbus A340-200/300e/600 aircraft…
How many miles per gallon does an ultralight airplane get?
Powered ultralight engines vary depending on their application, the most efficient engines burn less than 1 gallon per hour. Pilots use gallons per hour instead of miles per gallon when dealing with the fuel burn rate of aircraft engines. One good example for the reason for this, would be a helicopter hovering, it can hover over the same spot for hours and never move a mile. The engine of the helicopter is still burning fuel…
What is a afto form 781 j?
AFTO 781J - Aircraft and Engine Operating Time, Cycle and Oil Added AFTO means Air Force Technical Order. The 781 is a series of forms used to document aircraft usage and maintenance. The most common of the 781 series of forms is the 781A where all discrepancies are listed along with their corrective actions. The 781J is used to document Airframe and Engine Time, Cycles and How much oil has been added to each engine…

What is the life span of a diesel generator?
Age really irrelevant... number of hours used real criteria for life of unit. Not many high speed (1500 rpm) generators used past about 20-25,000 hours (can be about 3 Years if continuous base load) or 20-30 years if standby power only. Low speed engines (<=750rpm) can be several times that if heavy duty type.
What AFTO form is used to document accrued aircraft and engine time?
AFTO 781J - Aircraft and Engine Operating Time, Cycle and Oil Added AFTO means Air Force Technical Order. The 781 is a series of forms used to document aircraft usage and maintenance. The most common of the 781 series of forms is the 781A where all discrepancies are listed along with their corrective actions. The 781J is used to document Airframe and Engine Time, Cycles and How much oil has been added to each engine…
What is the best engine treatment?
I use only one, Lucas oil stabilizer, because I only require one thing from it. I had a serious issue with motor oil break down on the many diesel engines I had on the equipment I serviced. At oil change time it would run out like water from the drain plug, I also noticed this in my own vehicles, through time the viscosity of the oil breaks down and in my opinion is worthless as…
How do you calculate maintenance reserves of an aircraft?
Maintenance reserves are given in written in all leasing agreements. They are calculated based mainly on the projected utilisation ratio of the aircraft, which is the aircraft hours over the aircraft landings (cycles). The lower the ratio, the higher the MRs. Usually they are paid for the following: Airframe Engines (performance restoration) Engines (LLPs) Landing gear APU They're actually very important and have to be agreed upon during the negotiation of the contract since they…
What is the diesel fuel consumption as a function of engine power output?
As a rough rule of thumb, you can assume you will burn one third of a liter of fuel per kilowatt-hour generated. With a reasonable degree of instrumentation on a battery of 600kw diesel generators, we measured fuel flow vs power generated, and got a factor of .287 liters per kilowatt hour. These were relatively new generators powering a fairly level load. If the engines are smaller, if the load fluctuates, if the engines have…
What is the failure rate per thousand hours of operation for GA aircraft recip engines compared to PT6A type of engines?
About ten times. The flipside is that a plane with a PT6 in it costs a LOT more than a plane with a reciprocating engine. Most of the planes that run the PT6 are very different from those that run reciprocating engines; witness the Cessna Caravan. The only "comparable" planes I can think of are the Beech King Air 100 and Baron, and the Mooney Acclaim and Socata TBM850. In both cases, the turboprop is…
