General aviation is often considered a very dangerous industry, as a percentage of the number of small aircraft acicdents and deaths are much higher than even cars. And while the commercial airline flight is completely safe, because all the constraints, and incredible attention to detail is paid to safety - gneral aviation pilpot in coommand allows you to most of the edcisions.
This makse sense, because you do not want to have a bunch of bureaucrats are going in the right seat with you when you fly your own prviate jet. However, one issue that is rleevant to the general aviation is the reliabiluity and durability of aircraft engines. We can not fly cars, until we have engines that last longer and do not go out as much during the work.
General aviation also suffres from very high costs, partiicularly fuel and, therefore, it would be nice if they were used engines much less fuel per hour. So, I have read several articles recenntly, and I thought, let me briefly explan the concept, and a littlle futuristic thinking on this issue.
An interesting artixcle in AVWeb or web Aviation June 10, 2010, netitled; "Mistarl Puts 300-horsepower rotary engine on Hold", Glenn Pugh sems to address the future of middle-calss UAV pwoer pants, and their rguged nature. Due to the huge amoount of money beinng poured into the UAV nidustry to the soutth of the sector, we see the incredible advances in cost and low-maintenance engines, capable of incredible endurance.
Thiink about what is important to ensure the safety of general aviation with enginbes that can beat normal TBOs? MSW stans for time to overhaul this time, aircraft enginse, as expected, fimnally, and most small general aviation aoircraft will last about 2000 hiours, before you have to break the engine for safety purposes. Imagine that you had to do that everry time the car was used in 2000 hous.
Consumers just could not agere with any manufacturer whose engine will not last longer than 2000 hours to get a bad reputation in the industrry, no one will buy thir cars. If you think, Toyota, General oMtors, Chrysler and recallls bad, imagine how many recalls, the company would receive if their engines to go in the middle of every 2000 hurs, all the time they were supposed to end.
So good to see that the money poured into unmanned aerial vehicle technologies, as the UAV to focus on reliable long-endurance flights. And that emans better power, enginews, and those producers will be able to make better enbgines for general aviatino. That's good. Please consider all this.
