CS 29.361 Engine torque

ED Decision 2003/16/RM

The limit engine torque may not be less than the following:

(a)     For turbine engines, the highest of:

(1)     The mean torque for maximum continuous power multiplied by 1.25;

(2)     The torque required by CS 29.923;

(3)     The torque required by CS 29.927; or

(4)     The torque imposed by sudden engine stoppage due to malfunction or structural failure (such as compressor jamming).

(b)     For reciprocating engines, the mean torque for maximum continuous power multiplied by:

(1)     1.33, for engines with five or more cylinders; and

(2)     Two, three, and four, for engines with four, three, and two cylinders, respectively.
