In Turboprop engines, ~80% of air expansion occurs at the turbine and 20% in the nozzle. The propeller and the compressor are rotated using the power generated by the turbine. Few advantages of Turboprop engines are - *low weight per volume *high power for takeoff *better propulsion efficiency at lower speeds *simple design #turbo #turboprop #propeller #gasturbine #thermodynamics #aerospaceengineering #aeronauticalengineering

Fat Albert the wide body pioneer The CL-600 marked a major step in executive #aircraft development with its wide-body cabin greatly appreciated by passengers who could stand up inside. The type not only laid the foundations for a business #jet dynasty now headed by the majestic Bombardier Global 8000 but also spawned a major #airliner family. The future of thirsty, #turbojet-powered #aircraft that dominated the market looked bleak. But Bill Lear also recognised that there had been several critical developments in #technology that had not yet arrived in the bizjet arena, principally the use of fuel-efficient #turbofans & the aerodynamically efficient supercritical wing. He schemed a concept that included both, which he named the Learstar 600. Armed with his design & backed up by data that underlined its efficiency, Lear visited all of the U.S. manufacturers to tout the Learstar 600. No one was interested & nor did they have any appetite for a new aircraft programme, until he called Canadair. In the following year, the government re-acquired Canadair & began secretly funding the program. In March 1977, the aircraft was renamed the CL-600 Challenger. Lear had disliked the #widebody approach, disparagingly referring to the aircraft as “Fat Albert,” & such disagreements led to his ousting from the program. A mock-up was displayed at the 1977 International Paris Air Show & by the year's end, orders had topped 100. The appearance of the Challenger spurred the development & launch of the rival Cessna Aircraft Company Citation III & Gulfstream Aerospace III. Despite numerous issues to overcome, including icing & being overweight, the ALF 502L engines struggled to meet specifications, were prone to compressor stalls. Nevertheless, Canadair built 81 CL-600s & TAG Aviation became the first recipient. The original Challenger’s Achilles heel was its powerplant, even though initial deliveries were getting underway, Canadair announced the CL-601. This would have winglets for increased #aerodynamic efficiency & a switch was made towards the more powerful 8,650-pound GE CF34-1A. After a few adaptations came the CL-604, for which the third #prototype again provided the initial test platform. This model introduced saddle tanks to increase fuel capacity, structural improvements, & a new undercarriage that permitted higher #takeoff weights with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics being installed. After more than 350 CL-604s had been built, the CL-605 was introduced in 2005. It had Pro Line 21 #avionics & larger cabin windows & new tailcone design was introduced. A further refresh to the design came in 2015 with the Challenger 650. A new cabin interior, Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics with synthetic vision system, with an increase in takeoff thrust being the principal new features. The 650 remains in production, with around 1,100 CL-600 family aircraft having been built to date. #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav

The race of making the biggest aircraft has been a journey of innovation and ambition, driven by the need to carry more passengers and improve efficiency. Starting with large flying boats after World War II, manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus pushed the limits of aircraft size. Boeing's 747, launched in the 1970s, set new standards for commercial aviation, but as fuel efficiency became more important, the economics of such large planes were questioned. Airbus responded with the A380 in the 2000s, offering even more capacity. Despite their impressive size, these super jumbos face challenges with high operating costs. So, how long will the race continue? And how big are the aircraft going to be? https://lnkd.in/gejgtVMH

The size of the cabin does matter. 🛩 Very light jets: Great for short trips with a few passengers. They are cost-effective and can access smaller airports that larger aircraft cannot. 🛩 Turboprops: Excellent for shorter distances and can operate on shorter runways. They are fuel-efficient and have a lower operating cost compared to jets. 🛩 Light jets (entry level): Ideal for regional flights with a small group of passengers. They offer a good balance between speed and operating cost. 🛩 Mid-size cabin: Perfect for longer flights with more passengers. They offer a spacious cabin, better amenities, and can fly longer distances without refueling. So, the best cabin size really depends on the specific requirements of yours #privateaviation #jets #jetsforsale #privatejets
Explore the fascinating world of private aviation, focusing on understanding cabin sizes of jets. 🛩️ We'll delve into the Cessna Citation Mustang, a sleek member of the very light jet category, contrasting it with the spacious interior of the Pilatus PC-12, a standout in the turboprop aircraft class. Gain insights into the comfort and functionality offered by different cabin sizes, and uncover which option best suits your travel needs. #jetron #aviation #businessjet #privatejet

Gulfstream G550 requires a very little runway for an airplane of such size and range 🛩️ • Breaking more than forty speed records, this aircraft has established itself as one of the fastest long-haul business jet. Combining high speed (up to Mach 0.85) with a huge flight range (12,501 km), this business jet is considered optimal for long hauls. • The Gulfstream G550 received certification to transport 19 passengers, but in practice, such configurations do not occur. Standard passenger capacity is about 13-14 people, but they are placed with maximum comfort, and that's with a narrow fuselage: the length of the cabin is 13.39 meters, width is 2.24 meters and height is 1.88 meters. • Credits: @aviation.denver
