Flight safety, which characterizes the aviation industry, is an important element that contributes to increasing the trust of customers and passengers. The aforementioned factor closely corresponds to the reliability of aircraft and their individual components, including power units. Over one hundred years of development of aviation techniques has led aviation to the currently observed level of safety and reliability. Aviation techniques should be understood as technologies as well as local and global regulations affecting individual branches of the industry. Guidelines No. 9 of the President of Polish Civil Authority of August 29, 2016 on the inter-repair periods of piston engines, indicate the possibility of waiving the requirements related to the performance of major repairs, and a number of conditions must be met. One of the requirements set out in the Guidelines is performing a spectrographic analysis of engine oil in order to estimate the rate of wear of individual engine parts (ULC, 2016). The main goal of this study was to recognize whether regular analysis of engine oil may affect the assessment of the technical condition of aircraft piston engines based on the example of ROTAX 912S, thus affecting or not influencing the maintenance intervals. The engines referred to in the research were produced in the amount of about 2,000 units. Thus, these engines gained popularity as power units for airplanes, helicopters, and gyroplanes. With the increasing number of ROTAX units introduced into service, research into the technical condition becomes more important due to their percentage share in the market.

This article presents a model of a rope, which is an example of a rope used when a glider takes off by means of towing with the use of an aerial winch, winding the rope attached to the glider. The finite element method used in MESH software was used for the model. This method allows us to take into account not only bending flexibility but also longitudinal flexibility. Such an approach to the subject of simulation allows for obtaining results relatively quickly while maintaining an appropriate level of accuracy. This allows for further exploration of the phenomena occurring in the glider towing process. The construction of a fast algorithm enables its implementation in the glider towing process control systems. The aim of this article is to present numerical analyzes of commonly used tow ropes. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the synthetic rope commonly used in gliding, comparing the obtained results with the classic steel rope.

In sailplane aviation, I attach great importance to the achieved aerodynamic parameters due to the main idea of sailplane flights, which is the flight of a sailplane without external energy supply for staying in the air and only in favourable weather conditions, e.g. increasing thermal movements of the air. Only during take-off, external devices, such as a winch or a towing plane, can be used. Therefore, the use of a propulsion installed in sailplanes and operating only during take-off is a very convenient solution. This is a step towards facilitating the access to flying for a wider group of people due to the reduction of costs related to the take-off processes, and also increases the level of safety of sailplane flights by enabling the use of propulsion at critical moments of the flight. The study presents the current trends in the development of gliding, in particular motor gliders. Additionally, as a result of research works, the energy storage system was shown, which is the weakest element of the system, and at the same time the one with the greatest development potential.

W lotnictwie szybowcowym dużą wagę przywiązuje się do osiąganych parametrów aerodynamicznych ze względu na główną ideę, jaką jest lot bez zewnętrznego zasilania energią do przebywania w powietrzu i tylko w sprzyjających warunkach atmosferycznych, np. zwiększenie ruchów termicznych powietrza. Jedynie podczas startu można korzystać z urządzeń zewnętrznych, takich jak wyciągarka czy samolot holowniczy. Bardzo wygodnym rozwiązaniem jest zainstalowanie w szybowcach napędu działającego tylko podczas startu. To krok w kierunku ułatwienia dostępu do latania szerszej grupie osób ze względu na redukcję kosztów związanych z procesami startu, a także zwiększenie poziomu bezpieczeństwa lotów szybowcowych poprzez umożliwienie wykorzystania napędu w krytycznych momentach. W opracowaniu przedstawiono aktualne trendy w rozwoju szybownictwa, w szczególności motoszybowców. Dodatkowo w wyniku prac badawczych wykazano najsłabszy element systemu, a jednocześnie mający największy potencjał rozwojowy – układ magazynowania energii.
