Development Of The Adjustable Engine Mount For The Ultra-Light Helicopter
The purpose of this thesis is to design, analyze and fabricate an adjustable engine mount for an ultra-light helicopter. The engine mount must be able to support the load of ROTAX 582 UL DCDI engine and the engine gearbox system which in total is about 70 kg. The engine mount is designed so that it...
