The definition should include ANY method of transmitting the force ,

while a shaft is most common and cheapest Hydraulic and Electric have been used .

So, the function would be 'transfering' power from engine to propeller?

Can anyone tell me how it works?

Actually , I'm writing a report about propulsion systems,

but I'm comletely frustrated simply becuase I can hardly understand the propulsion systems. : (

Thank you anyway!

I have to write about the propulsion systems as a whole complex with comparison and evaluation, then what do I have to compare and evaluate?

between drive systems or the different types of each part?

Im not too sure I explained well enough : (

driveline = drive train , I think......... after engine to the end part.

People will understand properly if they encounter problem, to learn for pure fun is hard, like me....... welcome to the company of desperado....
