    Design and implementation of engine test device for the M601 engine
    (University of Žilina, 2023) Pukač, Andrej; Čerňan, Jozef
    The aim of this article is to create a proposal and documents for the implementation phase of the engine test device for the Walter M601 engine, which after implementation will serve as a teaching and research aid for researching new alternative fuels, testing different variants of propellers and others. As part of our work, we are dedicated to the development of two entire future test segments of device, namely the test stand and the design of the monitoring and regulation part, where we use the original devices, manufactured in compliance with LUN, which was directly designed in the past for the M601 engine and its installation in the L-410 Turbolet aircraft. The design of the test stand will include a 3D design and documentation. The monitoring part will consist of the design of the monitoring panel, which will contain selected engine indicators and LUN sensors, which will be used from the defined solutions of specific requirements and the design of electrical wiring and power sources and modules for the operation of the monitoring and regulation part.

    Modification possibilities of automotive power plant for aviation purposes: fuel system and turbocharger system
    (University of Zilina, 2021) Pukač, Andrej; Čerňan, Jozef
    The objective of this article is to develop and demonstrate modification of automotive engine for aviation purposes. Automotive engine in aircraft has its pros and cons, but It can be good economical alternative to power plants such as Rotax engines which can be expensive, especially in Ultralight category where the rules of certification are different than for CS-LSA or CS-23 category aircraft. In first part I analyse actual state of real engine and describe operational problems, which shall be improved for better operation in aircraft. In second part I demonstrate practical solutions of turbocharger system and fuel system. In these systems I tried to use the most modern technologies which however will be reliable enough for aviation use, where the safety is priority number one.
