General aviation aircraft demand has increased in deliveries of all private jets after 2021, and the industry has experienced significant growth in new and pre-owned purchases. Still, other factors, such as fuel efficiency, torque, and forceful performance, could also add to the benefits of turbocharged engines.

Depending on design, airfoils used in general aviation, stall at angles of attack between 16 to 18 degrees. Because of engine torque and “P” factor, turns to the left will tend to steepen, and banks to the right tend to decrease. The bank should not exceed 20 degrees and should remain constant as speed is reduced.

cubic inches of it, to create a tidal wave of torque that permits it to run a paltry 2,700 rpm at the max. Specifically, Rotaxs approach to putting 160 hp to the prop flange is fundamentally different from Lycomings. The familiar great-gray aero engine uses displacement, all 319.8

In recent times, composite materials have been introduced for flight controls even in small general aviation aircraft. Fly-by-wire is expensive, so you wont find it on most small general aviation aircraft. The rotational force thats needed to move an object about an axis is called torque.

High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle. This is why the typical airfoil shape has a curved top and a flat bottom, especially in slower-speed general aviation aircraft. Other Designs The tail rotor is not the only way to solve the torque reaction problem.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque.
