[@flyingmeatball8905]

For student who is working on your RPL or PPL exam , I highly recommend you to watch this before you even start reading any of the text books . An excellent video that explains the engine system within 15 mins in a simple way ! Awesome

[@matthewchapman3507]

All of you guys videos are must watches for student pilots, or anybody who plans on having an aviation career. I was struggling a little bit in groundschool reading about some stuff (because I’m a visual learner) and I came across your videos. They made a WORLD of a difference!!

[@MrSparkyguy1]

I cannot describe how perfect this video is : clear systematic explanation with high quality animation and audio. Thank you very much !

[@sumirunihon]

This video was simple enough that I wasnt overwhelmed with knowledge and lingo that i cant comprehend but also complex enough that it wasnt insulting the viewer's intelligence. I absolutely loved the way you explained this and it was very fun to watch. I'm not even into aviation or anything but you definitely got me interested. This is exactly the kind of video I wanted. Thank you.

[@archerpiperii2690]

A big thank you to the person(s) responsible for this video. The information is presented very well, it is videos like these that are the best of KZbin. Thank you!

[@EagleClawPK]

Best explanation ever seen... Thanks alot

[@julianneale6128]

It's the worst explanation of how an engine works I've ever seen. Its massively flawed and very wrong in a number of places. Whoever made this video is clearly not a pilot and most definitely not an engineer!

[@pedrovazquez6584]

Julian Neale what are you talking about?

[@ahmedrashed78]

@@julianneale6128 show us your explanation then!!

[@pa4tim]

@NonyaBusiness! It is not really wrong but I think some things are showed in a way it could be interpreted wrong and some things are told as if it was like this for every type of engine. Like the 4 strokes shown in sequence in 4 separate cilinders as if one cilinder only does 1 of the 4 strokes. It is demonstrated very nice but it would be more clear if they showed it in 1 cilinder and show an animation of all 4 working . What is wrong is what they say about the order/position of pistons relative to each other. Not every engine has the same sequence as they told. There are numerous sequences and engine types. Not only 4 cilinder boxers. But I wish I could see videos like this when I was a little kid.

[@pa4tim]

@NonyaBusiness! Yes, they are called two-stroke but that is not what I ment. :-) Every cilinder indeed has the same sequence of 4 strokes that they repeat that same sequence over and over. All do that at the same speed because they all are on the same cranckshaft. But the order in witch the cilinders are at the same stroke like the ignition stroke is complete free to the designer. If you want you can make it so all cilinders ignite at the same time. It would not be smart but it will work. Often pistons do not even reach the TDC at the same time. Or do reach the TDC at the same time but not in the same type of stroke. As I said it is not wrong and most will understaned but others could get the wrong impression of the order of strokes between cilinders . For me that is clear but I worked +30 years on engines (rebuilding/restoring motorbikes and cars, from 1 cilinders upto V8's, from 30's engines to modern stuff) I was looking for some info about WW2 and older airplane engines. They are manual controlled and I hoped to see some examples of how the controls are implemented. (like how a governor looks/works, how they implement superchargers and their gearchanging. How the automatic control in f.i. a FW190 works etc. Because the graphics were well done here I kept watching it.

Geez even after 4 years of being on the internet, it's still a great resource! Thank you so much for making this, it is really gonna help for my Advanced aviation Air Cadets course tests!! ❤️ :)

[@ChrisZoomER]

I don’t understand how anyone could dislike this video! This is by far the best explanation of how a piston prop works that I’ve ever seen! I rate this video a solid 10/10. I wish they made a video explaining how various turbine engines work including bypass jet engines and turboprop engines...

[@iulian_98]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful video. I don't own a plane and I've never flown, never even been near one. I only have a car and I know how it works. I had previously seen some videos recommended by youtube of a man repairing old planes, and that's how I saw what a broken plane looks like with the hood up. The information and video representations in this video made me understand better and make the connections. Most likely this information will never help me in life because I am not a pilot and I will not be, but I like to learn new things, to satisfy my curiosity.

Some sort of an engine, be it on a towing aircraft or a winch is required to get gliders of the ground.

@@MIZUch. Fair point, although in most instances some sort of external propulsion is used.
