Motores y Turbinas - UNAQ - Universidad Aeronáutica en Querétaro

Engines and turbines

UNAQ has the following alternative or four-stroke piston engines which work under the same principles of car engines and have some similar elements such as: pistons, crankshaft, connecting rods, etc. however, those of aviation must be coupled to a propeller.

These engines are used to perform removal, inspection and installation practices of the different elements that make them up as well as to analyze their indication, ignition, fuel and lubrication systems.

Regarding gas turbine engines (G.T.E.) commonly called turbines which work under the principles of Newton's second and third laws, UNAQ has the following:

Application (Airplane)	T33	Mirage III	Boeing 727 / Boeing 737-200	Boeing 737-300	Beech. King Air	IAI Aravá	F104 Starfighter

Additionally, there are Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) that are also Gas turbine engines, but do not generate thrust and are used as an auxiliary source of electrical and pneumatic energy in the event of failure of an engine in flight or when the airplane is on the ground and starting of the engines to provide power is not desired.

Brand	Honeywell	Honeywell
Model	GTCP30-92C	GTCP85-129E
Power	40 HP @ 59000 RPM	45 KVA @ 6000 RPM
Location	PFM	PFM
Application	Airplane: Hawker 400 – 700 y 800	Plane: Boeing 737-200 y -300

Gas turbine engines and APUs are used to perform removal, inspection and installation practices of the different elements that make them up, such as FAN blades, combustion chambers, etc. They are also used to analyze their indication, ignition, fuel and lubrication systems. Inspection practices are also carried out with videoscope (“Borescope Inspection”).
