Aviation power plant - an energy component of an air or aerospace aircraft (LA), designed to realize the available thrust on this aircraft and ensure reliable operation of engines in all flight modes. ACS combines: all aircraft engines installed on a given aircraft (marching, lifting, combined, auxiliary); systems for attaching engines to the aircraft structure; systems and devices for the implementation of traction and regulation of its magnitude; systems for ensuring trouble-free and trouble-free operation of engines in all flight modes.
Note : air (aviation) aircraft - perform flights within the Earth’s atmosphere, are divided according to the principle of creating lift into aerostatic (aerostats, airships) and aerodynamic (airplanes (aircraft), ekranoplanes, gyroplanes, helicopters).

Aviation Management Classification
- By types of aircraft: airship; aircraft; ekranoplan; gyroplane; helicopter;
- By the number and types of engines and propulsors installed on the aircraft: propeller; turboprop; screw fan; reactive; combined; [IAS 1964 (414)]
- By classes of the same type of aviation aircraft. In particular: SU of a light aircraft (non-maneuverable, limitedly maneuverable, maneuverable); SU heavy aircraft;
- According to the main purpose of an aviation aircraft of this type and this class: educational; sports; transport; Passenger combat;
- The types of energy used are divided into thermal and nuclear;
- According to the operational range of heights and speeds: high-altitude, non-high; subsonic, supersonic, hypersonic;
- By the number and types of engines and propulsors installed on the aircraft: propeller; turboprop; screw fan; reactive; combined; [IAS 1964 (414)]
Generalized structure of aviation control system
Aviation control system consists of the engine (s), devices and systems that ensure its normal operation. [IAS 1964 (414)]
Devices and systems that ensure the normal operation of the engine (s) as part of an aviation control system, in some cases, are referred to as a complex of aviation control system equipment.
Aviation control devices include: frames, trusses and other devices for mounting engines on an aircraft, input devices, output devices, reversing devices, thrust vector control devices. [IAS 1964 (414)]
In some cases, the input and output devices of the power plant of maneuverable combat aircraft, the pylons of the external engine mount, the engine nacelles are at the same time structural elements of the airframe, and therefore do not apply to the equipment of an aircraft power plant.
In particular, aviation SU systems include the following systems: air supply, exhaust, fuel, oil, cooling, start-up, control, engine operation control and the aircraft power system of the power plant (engine operation control and regulation), fire-fighting systems. [IAS 1964 (414 )]
Aviation control systems for various aircraft types can be distributed in various proportions among service groups by specialists of various profiles. In particular, a group of systems serviced by specialists in aircraft and engine and a group of systems serviced by specialists in aircraft equipment.
Aviation control systems serviced by specialists in aircraft and engine, in some cases can relate to purely “propulsion” systems (development of engine-building design bureau), and to purely “aircraft” systems (development of aircraft-building design bureau).
