CS-VLA 361  Engine torque

ED Decision 2003/18/RM

(a)                            The engine mount and its supporting structure must be designed for the effects of -

(1)                            A limit engine torque corresponding to take-off power and propeller speed acting simultaneously with 75% of the limit loads from flight condition A of CS-VLA 333(d);

(2)                            The limit engine torque as specified in CS-VLA 361(b) acting simultaneously with the limit loads from flight condition A of CS-VLA 333(d); and

(b)                            The limit engine torque to be considered under subparagraph (a)(2) of this paragraph must be obtained by multiplying the mean torque for maximum continuous power by a factor determined as follows:

(1)                            For four-stroke engines -

(i)                             1·33 for engines with five or more cylinders,

(ii)                            2, 3, 4 or 8, for engines with four, three, two or one cylinders, respectively.

(2)                            For two-stroke engines -

(i)                             2 for engines with three or more cylinders,

(ii)                            3 or 6, for engines with two or one cylinder respectively.
