Stating that requirements of airplane power plant are light weight, low fuel, and oil consumption, reliability and durability, smooth and flexible operation and compactness, author discusses briefly how these are obtained; greater proportionate weight of accessories, foundry limitations and other considerations than loads and stresses tend to make small airplane engine heavier in proportion to horsepower than larger power plants, manufacturing costs being more important than maximum performance in power and weight.
