A New Geared Aviation Diesel Design: Power Transmission through the Camshaft or a Dedicated Internal Driveshaft

Aviation 100LL (100 octane, low-lead) gasoline is produced in relatively small quantities, contains lead, is expensive and difficult to obtain outside the developed world. Jet fuel is widely available, cheaper and has higher energy density than aviation gasoline. The turboprop or turbojet engine solutions with weight and reliability advantages over reciprocating engines, however,

A Retractable Door to Reduce Drag on Fixed Gear Aircraft

The Market

According to a NASA study published in 1999, there were 160,577 General Aviation aircraft of which 75% had fixed gear. These airplanes have the obvious drag penalty of the gear remaining in the airstream while in flight, and while substantial drag reductions have been achieved with aerodynamic fairings and “wheel pants,”
