This diploma thesis focuses on Lycoming drive unit mounting used in two-seater plane of VLA category (the very light aircraft). In the beginning characteristics of currently produced Bristell aircrafts are described. Following chapters aim at research selection of new drive unit mounting based on multi-criteria decision analysis. For selected unit, the weight, center of mass and flight performance are calculated. Additionally, the construction of engine mount is proposed. According to CS-VLA and CS-23 stress level of mounting is defined followed by strength verification. Later in this thesis, a suitable engine cover for engine and cockpit cooling is proposed. A complete fuel system is described in following chapter. Last chapter deals with financial costs of re-engining as well as aircraft operational costs. |
