At only 13 feet long, the Cri-Cri (AKA the Cricket) is the world’s smallest twin-engine plane. Designed in 1973 by aeronautical engineer Michel Columban as a way to see how small a plane could be while providing comfort and good performance to the pilot. The Cri-Cri’s small size an...
One of the drive gears may be in mesh with the propeller drive gear (9), which may be of a larger dia. than the engine gears (10,11). USE/ADVANTAGE - Twin-engine safety is obtained in a small aircraft with only one propeller.STEMME REINER DR...
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for implementing digital twins in aircraft lifecycle management, with a focus on using data-driven models to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. The proposed framework integrates cutting-edge

engines and the model’s fuel tanks are standard equipment on all my models. Clean, well-filtered fuel is also very important for glow-engine aircraft. I use industrial-grade filters that you can buy at most small-engine and lawnmower shops. They are good insurance and should always be ...

For engines, the majority of the Falke’s used the Jumo 210 engine. V1 mounted the 210Da, V2-V5 using the 210G, V6 using the powerful DB 600A engines and the A-0 reverting back to 210Gs. The aircraft performance stayed the same overall, with the V6 having peak performance speedwise...
