Q

Engine

A

Engines in widespread use today can be divided into two categories - reciprocating and turbine. Most large passenger carrying airplanes use a form of the turbine engine, which is relatively costly but extremely powerful. Since the large power output of the turbine engine is not required in most general aviation training airplanes, a form of the more economical, but still very reliable, reciprocating engine is used.
