What are reciprocating engines?
Reciprocating engines are very big engines. Instead of a motor just spinning the propeller, electric arms would move up and down circling around the propeller line spinning it. These kind of engines were used on the titanic.
What are the Reciprocating airplane?
A reciprocating airplane refers to an aircraft that is powered by a reciprocating engine, also known as a piston engine. These engines work by converting the reciprocating motion of pistons into rotary motion that drives the propeller. Reciprocating airplanes are commonly used in general aviation and smaller aircraft, offering reliability and efficiency.
How many engines are on a b-52?
8 engines are mounted in pods of 2 each under the wings.
How does a plane move?

What are all the types of car engines?
all car engines are internal combustion most car engines are Reciprocating piston some mazdas use wankel rotary engines hybrids use reciprocating piston engines in combination with electric motors

What are reciprocating engines for aircraft called heat engines?
Your question isn't clear. Are you asking WHY reciprocating engines for aircraft are called heat engines, or are you asking whether or not they are considered heat engines? Or are you asking something else entirely? Heat engines include many types of engines, and probably all of them. The term simply describes any type of engine that uses heat to generate power. Reciprocating engines for aircraft are simply piston-driven (reciprocating) internal combustion engines. They usually burn higher octane low-lead gasoline. The higher octane helps the engines burn fuel more efficiently, which helps high up in the air where the varying oxygen content and turbulence may diminish the less-efficient lower-octane fuels. Not all aircraft use reciprocating engines. Some other aircraft engine types are jet engines and turbo-prop engines. Both of these run on jet fuel. They differ in that jet engines completely eliminate props (propellers) and work by creating thrust from pressurized burning fuel. Turbo props are a sort of hybrid, where jet fuel powers the props, which in turn create movement in the same way that reciprocating engines do.
What fuel does a helicopter use?
Reciprocating engines: 100 octane low lead (100LL) Turbine engines: Jet A, basically kerosene.
Do Mazdas have rotary engines?
Only "RX" models do. Everything else is a reciprocating engine.

Have steam engines been replaced?
The reciprocating steam engine is no longer in widespread commercial use.
Power for biplane?
2 wings, to determine which engine was used need to know what biplane
Does a 1991 buick century 3300 V6 have a cam shaft?
yes it does as do almost all reciprocating engines
Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?
Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.
