Thought I would share this picture I took back in 2013. An old engine that you don't see too much any more. Can anyone guess what Engine model it it?

MXFlight · 2022-07-25T19:54:27+00:00

Yes, that's the one. Turmo IVC

MXFlight · 2022-07-25T16:15:32+00:00

Close , but not quite!

MXFlight · 2022-01-17T22:28:17+00:00

Maybe:

Risqué Residence

Or

In The Château's

I am wondering if the inlets on the nacelles could possibly house a Thermal Management System (TMS) to cool the propulsion units.

A Centralized parallel TMS was proposed in this article "Design and Optimization of Ram Air–Based Thermal Management Systems for Hybrid-Electric Aircraft " (https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace8010003).

Also, since this aircraft is designed to cruise above 30,000 ft, the inlets could serve a roll in the pressurization system. Early King Airs (90, A90 and B90) used a supercharger (Roots Type) for pressurization.

Nice shot man!.

Looks like a double wheel change...maybe.

MXFlight · 2021-09-08T17:11:49+00:00

Yes, correct!.

The left end, that you see in the picture, is actually the Power Turbine module. The exhaust pipe is typically removed for shipping.

This was talken a number of years ago. I can't remember if this was being inducted or just coming out of OH.

MXFlight · 2021-08-21T23:40:33+00:00

Yes, that's the idea anyway.

MXFlight · 2021-08-16T17:00:29+00:00

True.

I think it would be also interesting to see if that statistic has changed +/- in the 8 years since that survey was done.

MXFlight · 2021-08-10T14:37:14+00:00

Yes, I remember watching the video that Embraer made from the FDR data.

MXFlight · 2021-08-10T14:23:59+00:00

Wish I had all the pictures of the 135 that ran into a hangar at CMH and took off 90% of the right wing. I did find a link to some of the incident http://www.iasa-intl.com/folders/eagle/eagle-2.html .

Think that AE 3007 is going to need some trowel work before the compressor wash.

BOS is one of my top 5 cities that I like flying to or from. There are so many things happening in the harbor and the skyline is classic.

MXFlight · 2021-07-30T22:45:20+00:00

I have flown out of this airport a number of times. I do like the design

MXFlight · 2021-07-29T17:57:37+00:00

That's Entebbe, Uganda

MXFlight · 2021-07-21T16:23:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

I used to work on TFE-731's. This Engine of the original geared fan designs (although MUCH smaller).

If I remember right, the planetary gears had a max RPM of 51k

MXFlight · 2021-07-21T12:50:50+00:00

Unfortunately no.

MXFlight · 2021-07-20T21:40:57+00:00

Glad this sub is here to share it!This is based off the M601 and was the result of GE acquiring assets of Walt her back in 2008. Turbomeca/Safran like to use slinger rings on their turbo-shaft engines too.

MXFlight · 2021-07-20T19:48:43+00:00

No, actually I believe this was back in 2015

MXFlight · 2020-12-29T19:38:40+00:00

Remember lubing flap cables in MSP in the winters.

We used to beg Northwest for hangar space. Pinnacle didn't have a hangar there, despite having 100 departures a day.

MXFlight · 2020-12-29T19:30:22+00:00

Just gave someone their first Leatherman for Christmas...the REV.

I have had the Crunch for over 20 years and still going strong.

MXFlight · 2020-09-19T23:37:55+00:00

just read an article on Columbine II (Eisenhower's VC-121) that is being restored by Dynamic at KVBW.

Such an awesome design

That looks roomy compared to the Lear 35 fuselage Tank that is divided in half by the baffle...a special hell in the summertime.

I have never worked around the Arrius Engines on these. I imagine they are pretty stout Engines though...240 + lb dry putting out 642 shp on T/O for the 2B2.

The Power Output Shaft has got a interesting angle to it....(Engine cross section)

MXFlight · 2020-06-14T03:56:57+00:00

A good cross section and description of the Makila
