Aircraft Engines

Abstract

Rapid progress has been made in the past few years in the development of high-powered aircraft engines; however, insofar as fundamentals are concerned, they have not changed since their conception at the beginning of the twentieth century. The power developed by internal combustion engines is dependent upon the type of fuel used; therefore it necessarily follows that the future increases in power obtained from conventional aircraft engines depend upon the development of fuels.
