Abstract The powerplant is the part of an aircraft that converts fuel into thrust. As such, it is also the part of the aircraft that has the potential most hazardous in event of a failure, and is generally isolated from the main aircraft body by a firewall. Therefore, airworthiness codes are designed to minimise this risk, and ensure that in the event of failure, there is no unacceptable damage to the rest of the aircraft. For the purposes of this book, the powerplant will be one of three main possibilities: a gas turbine engine, a propeller driven by a gas turbine, or a piston engine driving one or more propellers. This chapter concerns itself with discussion of airworthiness codes, principles and best practices to ensure airworthiness of everything forward of the firewall.
