Power point

Power plants are divided according to purpose into transport, mobile and stationary ^[2] ;

Transport power plants are divided into automobile, tractor, ship, aviation ;

Power plants depending on their purpose can be transport, mobile and stationary ^[2] ;

By the number of intermediate elements between the engine and the energy consumer, power plants are divided into simple and complex ^{[1] [2]} ;

Depending on the number of intermediate elements between the engine and the consumer, the energy can be simple and complex ^{[1] [2]} .

As an example of simple power plants can be given automobile, single-screw ship, single-engine aircraft, tank, etc. Multi-screw ship, multi-engine aircraft, nuclear, etc. are ranked as complex power plants ^{[1] [2]}

By type of energy used, power plants are divided into thermal, nuclear, hydraulic, etc. ^[1]

• The power plant of the aircraft includes the entire set of devices and systems for creating thrust (engines, propulsion, launch and flight boosters, thrust reversers, etc.) ^[3]
• A gas turbine power plant of an aircraft may include an engine, an input and output device, a nacelle (fairing), fuel, oil, launch, control, fire protection and other systems ^[1] .
• The ship power plant may include the main and auxiliary power plants of the ship, engines and propulsors ^[1] .
• Automobile (tank) power plant includes an engine and its servicing systems: fuel, air supply, lubrication, cooling, etc. ^[1]
