One point not covered in the SE post is that aviation engines are designed for a different and more demanding regime than auto engines. Aviation piston engines are used at or near 100% power for minutes, and 60% or more power for periods of hours.
- Harmohit 2y agoThe second answer does address this point.
- rzzzwilson 2y agoSorry, I don't see any place where the difference in operating conditions is addressed. No auto engine is designed to operate at more than 60% rated power continuously.
