Cooling Design and Flight Test for Airplane Reciprocating Engine

A reciprocating engine installed on a normal category airplane shall be effectively cooled by air flown through the engine compartment. A airplane powerplant designer has to design cooling air inlets, baffles, seals, and outlets to maintain cylinder head temperatures and oil temperature under the limits, and show compliance with appropriate airworthiness standard. In this study, cooling designs of the installed engine and compliance requirements applicable to the cooling designs were reviewed, and engine cooling flight test results were evaluated for design changes. Engine cooling certification test will be conducted in a next step.
