King Air Engine Anti-Ice Demonstration
Ғылым және технология
This demo shows the Inertial Separator Engine Anti-Ice System of the PT6 engine. As comments show, I stand corrected in the reason why it’s called a reverse flow engine. It is a reverse flow engine due to the fact that the airflow reverses between intake and combustion. It changes direction entirely (reverse) as opposed to a normal turbine engine where the airflow is always in the same direction.

If you’re on final in the C90 and you both have the runway made, and you intend to use full prop reverse, activate the anti-ice vanes on short final. It will help protect against FOD when using reverse.
I always wondered how the initial separator worked. Thanks for sharing 😎
About to start flying my first PT6 and was wondering how these worked. Thanks so much!
It helped a lot I have flown more than 3000 hour on this model and I have no idea that the system has a rear door mover over u gave me an idea to help my instruction switching the system differently on the ground in order to teach an learn more
its a reverse flow engine as the flow of the air in the engine changes direction between the compressor and turbine section

Yeah, I was corrected on that in earlier comments. Thank you. I will make a note in the description.
The term reverse flow engine refers to an engine design where the combustor air flowing in the opposite direction as the turbine air (folded back over to save space) not how the engine happens to be oriented on the airplane. The PT6 on the Avanti is also a reverse flow engine.

Thanks. Every day is a school day :)
that helps alot tnk u so much
Thanks for this video! Can you make a new one explaining what actuators do and how they work? (Switches below the anti ice) thanks!
Great vid. But can't fod still get in because obviously air is still getting to the engine?

Fod could still enter but it’s minimized
