Definition of piston engine in English: piston enginenoun An engine, especially in an aircraft, in which power is derived from cylinders and pistons rather than a turbine. Example sentencesExamples - How did a piston engine tanker refuel a faster jet bomber?
- Jet engines have supplanted piston engines in commercial aircraft due to more power, greater speed, and better all-around performance.
- The basic design of the aviation piston engine hasn't changed drastically in decades.
- An old generation piston engine is nowhere near as technically reliable as a new generation high tech turbine aircraft engine.
- This type of powerplant was ideal for lower performance aircraft that could substitute their piston engines for the turboprop.
- H - 21s were powered by 1,425-horsepower radial piston engines and could carry 20 soldiers.
- Hitherto, helicopters had been powered by piston engines and this had brought many cooling problems.
- Wankle rotary engines use the Otto cycle, but they do it in a very different way than four-stroke piston engines.
- The operation of the rotary engine means that it is not prone to backfiring on hydrogen, as conventional piston engines are.
- The combination is a small, low-pressure steam boiler feeding a piston engine or turbine.
- Jet engines are crucial: They're faster than piston engines and far safer.
- They replaced the old radial air-cooled and liquid-cooled engines with a high-compression piston engine.
- Improved engine designs have boosted efficiency - turbines replaced piston engines, for example.
- One seemed to live and dream, aircraft and to this day I automatically crane skywards at the sound of a piston engine.
- A self-winding hose reel called ReelSmart lets you flip a switch to divert the water flow from the hose to a piston engine inside the drum.
