One quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. A quart is the equivalent of 2 pints, and each pint has 2 cups. One cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces. Therefore, 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, and 4 cups multiplied by 8 fluid ounces is 32 fluid ounces.
Glenn Research Center. This is a computer drawing of the fuel system of the Wright brothers' 1903 aircraft engine. This engine powered the first, heavier than air, self-propelled, maneuverable, piloted aircraft; the Wright 1903 Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in December, 1903.To generate thrust for their aircraft, the brothers used twin, counter-rotating propellers at the rear of the aircraft.ngine Fuel System Glenn Research Center This is a computer drawing of the fuel system of the Wright brothers' 1903 aircraft engine.
Burning a fuel is called combustion, a chemical process that we study in middle or high school. Because combustion is so important for aircraft and rocket propulsion, we will review the fundamentals. Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually a liquid. The oxidizer, likewise, could be a solid, liquid, or gas, but is usually a gas (air) for airplanes.
