CS 22.361  Engine torque

ED Decision 2003/13/RM

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

(1)     the limit torque corresponding to take-off power and propeller speed, acting simultaneously with 75% of the limit loads from flight condition A of CS 22.333(b);

(2)     the limit torque corresponding to the maximum continuous power and propeller speed, acting simultaneously with the limit loads from flight condition A of CS 22.333(b).

(b)     For reciprocating engines the limit torque to be accounted for in CS 22.361(a) is obtained by multiplying the mean torque by one of the following factors:

(1)     1.33 for engines with 5 or more cylinders;

(2)     2 for engines with 4 cylinders;

(3)     3 for engines with 3 cylinders;

(4)     4 for engines with 2 cylinders.
