Light Sport Aircraft Belt Reduction Drive
Timothy Bourgeois, Nathan Cross, Benjamin Horst
Since 2006 the Collaboratory Transportation Group has been working with the flying club to develop a light sport aircraft for use on the mission field. Our project was to design and build a belt-drive system which transfers power from the engine to the propeller. The system uses pulleys, a support shaft, and a belt to set the proper speed reduction ratio allowing the engine and propeller to operate at their optimum speeds.
