The Napier-Railton, built in 1933 and powered by a Napier Lion aircraft engine, at Brooklands Museum in 2008. An aero-engined car is an automobile powered by an engine designed for aircraft use. Most such cars have been built for racing, and many have attempted to set world land speed records.
Energy–maneuverability theory is a model of aircraft performance. It was developed by Col. John Boyd, a fighter pilot, and Thomas P. Christie, a mathematician with the United States Air Force, [1] and is useful in describing an aircraft's performance as the total of kinetic and potential energies or aircraft specific energy.
Aircraft engine performance refers to factors including thrust or shaft power for fuel consumed, weight, cost, outside dimensions and life. It includes meeting regulated environmental limits which apply to emissions of noise and chemical pollutants, and regulated safety aspects which require a design that can safely tolerate environmental hazards such as birds, rain, hail and icing conditions.
Aircraft performance refers to the ability of airplanes and helicopters to accomplish certain useful things. [1] It is an important consideration when designing and testing aircraft, to ensure the aircraft can be operated in an efficient and economic manner. [ 2 ]
The Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest is a quarterly print publication by Informa (also available on CD-ROM) that was established in the 1950s. It identifies and prices more than 3,000 used general aviation aircraft and helicopter make and model-years available in the United States.

When using the aircraft, owners also pay for the flight hours and a nominal amount for taxiing. [2] The final cost component is fuel, which has a surcharge above the hourly fee to compensate for price volatility. An owner's share allotment is depleted for actual hours of occupied flight, plus taxiing, with a 1– to 2–hour minimum.
