Piston Engine Aircraft

The mandatory criteria of an aircraft engine are lightness. Sometimes, the fuel inside the combustion chamber matters a lot for fulfilling this individual criterion. Some engines require heavy fuels like diesel. For these heavyweight fuels, those engines are not eligible for aircraft.    Types Of Turbine-Based Airplane Engines There are several types of airplane engines like turbojet engines, turboprop engines, turbofan engines, and turboshaft engines. Aegidius Elling, a renowned Norwegian scientist, proposed and designed a gas-powered engine for the first time, which impacted aircraft engineering. Turbojet engine:  The turbojet engine is one of the most used engines in modern-day aircraft. In this engine, air enters the compressor from the outside. The compressor compresses the air. After that, the air passes to the combustion chamber, where the air temperature rises to 1000 degrees Celsius. This hot and compressed air and there's the turbine of the engine
