Abstract
DESCRIBED here is an intake metering injection system suitable for low-horsepower aircraft engines.
Gasoline injection is said to have many advantages over carburetion for this class of engines, such as:
-
1.
Complete elimination of manifold icing-one of the most troublesome problems in light engines equipped with carburetors.
-
2.
Better idling characteristics.
-
3.
Faster engine acceleration.
-
4.
Lower maximum cylinder-head temperatures.
-
5.
Better fuel economy.
-
6.
Higher power.
-
7.
Longer periods between overhauls.
-
8.
Simplified engine cooling.
-
9.
Flatter engine designs are possible.
