This course includes an introduction to reciprocating engine theory and operation. The student will be exposed to the internal and external components used to make up an operating aircraft reciprocating engine. The hands-on portion of this course will include identification of reciprocating engine components such as pistons, rings, crankshaft, valves, and cylinders. A cutaway will be used to illustrate the cycles of an internal combustion engine as it goes through the four strokes of operation.
