Part 4: Propeller

In this course, you will learn about how propellers create thrust, their design features such as being twisted, and their interaction with various types of engines, including piston and turboprop engines. The course will also cover real-world examples of aircraft propellers.

Inside My Aircraft – Engine & System Design

You've explored the key parts of an aircraft — from general systems to engines and propellers. Now it's your turn to design your own aircraft, explain how its systems work, and demonstrate your understanding of different propulsion types.

📌 Assignment Instructions:
You will design and describe your own small aircraft (passenger, cargo, sport, or rescue). Your final project will include the following parts:

1. 🛩️ Aircraft Design & Labeling
- Create a drawing or digital sketch of your aircraft.
- Label at least 8 parts, including:
Wings
Fuselage
Landing gear
Tail
Cockpit
Engine (piston or jet)
Propeller (if applicable)
Fuel or electrical system
You can be creative, but your parts must be functional and realistic!

2. ⚙️ Engine System Explanation (300–400 words)
Choose either a piston engine or a jet engine for your aircraft. In a short report, explain:
- How the engine type works
- Why you chose it for your aircraft (speed, weight, altitude, mission, etc.)
- How the engine connects to the propeller (if using a piston engine)
- How fuel or air enters and exits the system

3. 🧩 General Aircraft System Overview (150–200 words)
Briefly describe 2–3 other systems your aircraft has (besides the engine), such as:
- Electrical system
- Fuel system
- Avionics (navigation & communication)
- Landing gear system
- Explain how they support the function and safety of the aircraft.
