Commercially-made piston engines such as those by Continental (Motors, aircraft engines, not the Lincoln cars) and Lycoming are generally air-cooled Flats. Flat engines such as flat-4 Flat-six and Flat-l2 predominate for private general aviation work, as this is probaby due to both wind resistance in the engine mounts or nacelle (Don"t say Hood, that"s for cars) and ease of maintenance. certain types of private aircraft use radial engines but these are older, pre-war types mostly such as the Stearman Biplane, etc. The Flats predominate- like a Housing complex!

When was Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division created?
Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division was created in 1945.
How many moving parts in a jet engine?
A typical jet engine has around 1,000 to 2,000 moving parts, depending on the design and complexity of the engine. Key components include the fan, compressor, turbine, and various bearings and seals. The precise number can vary based on the engine model and manufacturer, as some engines may incorporate advanced technologies that reduce part counts. Overall, the intricate design is essential for efficiency and performance in aviation.
Which type of graphical source would best show how all the parts of a jet engine fit together?
The easiest source for you to get is a common publication such as "The Flight Handbook" written by aviation writer W.T. (Bill ) Gunston. This book has hundreds of aircraft 'cutaways', photos, drawings and diagrams. Chapters or Indigo should be able to locate this excellent book, published in Britain by Iliffe Books and in US by Aero Publishers.
What is the correct method of putting out a reciprocating induction fire?

Does a rotary engine use a reed valve?
No, a rotary engine does not use a reed valve. Instead, rotary engines, like the Wankel design, utilize a triangular rotor that moves within an epitrochoidal housing, creating distinct chambers for intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. The intake and exhaust processes are controlled by the shape of the rotor and the housing, eliminating the need for reed valves typically found in piston engines.
How did Franklin Whittle contribute to the field of aviation?
He contributed to the field of aviation by inventing the first jet engine.
