Abstract
The project “Experimental State of Thrust Testing of Aircraft Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine” is aimed at creating a complex measuring device in order to obtain selected characteristics and parameters of the engine using different types of propellers. In addition to the basic measured parameters such as. thrust, temperature, speed and fuel flow will be a state of the art to test the latest prototype propellers designed for aircraft models. After its construction, the experimental state will be used as a study aid for testing various types of conventional as well as currently developed propellers, engine characteristics and teaching of the whole equipment in the process of teaching, training of aircraft mechanics and for presentation purposes of the University of Žilina.
Highlights
At present, simple experimental stands with insufficient sensor equipment are used in radio controlled (RC) aviation to measure thrust and engine parameters
There is no similar and unique experimental state within the universities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia focused on aircraft technology for experimental measuring thrust testing characteristics of RC aircraft propellers, which gives the project uniqueness
It is the use of a model combustion piston engine and propellers to the required scale that make it possible to imitate the conditions of large test rooms on campus for relatively small funds in the form of experimental measuring device
Summary
Simple experimental stands with insufficient sensor equipment are used in radio controlled (RC) aviation to measure thrust and engine parameters. Manufacturers of large propulsion units and propellers test their prototypes in test rooms that are financially unaffordable for the needs of the university (Beňo, 1985)). It is the use of a model combustion piston engine and propellers to the required scale that make it possible to imitate the conditions of large test rooms on campus for relatively small funds in the form of experimental measuring device. In addition to the design, it should be noted that the technologies themselves for monitoring the parameters of model engines and their use, whether in solving problems with new propeller prototypes or as a laboratory prototype designed for teaching and measurement exercises make the project unique
