ABSTRACT
The article presents the concept of a two-stroke high-power aircraft engine, intended primarily for powering a record-breaking racing aircraft and its version for powering passenger or transport aircraft. Based on the design study and calculated operational indicators, an analysis of its usability in the proposed aircraft will be presented. According to initial assumptions, it should be able to exceed the current speed record for a piston-powered aircraft. Based on the developed design and conducted tests, the engine will also be analyzed as a drive for passenger or transport aircraft. For this purpose, it was compared with a turboprop engine with particular consideration of the generated thrust. In addition, the unused potential of such two-stroke engines as the Rolls-Royce Crecy, Napier Nomad and the high-speed two-stroke engine designs of engineer Tresilian will be analyzed.
