The integration of engine and airframe is always a non-trivial endeavor, and sometimes presents some truly daunting engineering challenges. The myriad plumbing, electrical, mechanical, induction and exhaust connections must be accomplished in a way that is simultaneously functional, reliable, and maintainable. This section presents some noteworthy engine installations, and details how these challenges were met. |

AEHS Member Reiner Decher, retired professor of Aeronautics & Astronautics at the University of Washington in Seattle, has made his book The Vortex and the Jet available to the AEHS. This book covers both airframe and power plant principles in some depth. In doing so it reveals important aircraft integration issues. Download Link |
