What German plane had three propeller engines?

The Junkers J-52


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 over twice the price of the piston plane. There are advantages to the turboprop, such as reliability and service ceiling, but that still doesn't change the fact that you're going to spend way more money on the plane.


What is the difference between a plane and a jet?

A Jet plane has no propellers. (Actually, there are 'prop-jets' on which propellers are powered by jet engines.)There is basically no difference in the airplane. The engines are different and sometimes the design of the wings or fuselage is different to allow for the different type engines. For example, early single-engine jets had their engines embedded within the fuselage so the air flow entered the nose or just under the wings and exited the tail after being ignited.Another difference is that Jet aircraft usually fly faster than propellor. The wings on propellor a/c are usually straight whereas the wings of jets are slanted aft. This improves aerodynamics when the jet approaches the speed of sound.


Gas and diesel engines are what type of engines?

Internal combustion.


What are the types of crankshaft?

2 types of crank shaft are there 1.same plane 2.cross plane crank shaft in cross plane crank shaft cranks are inclined at 90 degree and in same plane crank shaft cranks are in same plane. thnk u
