ABC's of Jet Engines is an enjoyable animated film, produced in the 1950’s, about the basic principles of jet propulsion and turbine engines. How reaction engines work to create thrust is explained along with the function of each major component of centrifugal and axial flow turbine and turboprop engines including inlets, nozzles, shafts, wheels and blades, compressors, gear boxes, and exhausts.

Advanced Composite Construction Techniques is a demonstration of the use and procedures of working with modern high tech materials including carbonfiber, kevlar, e-glass, and s-glass, various types of resins and foams. The video starts with a description of the properties and uses of each material, and then demonstrates techniques and problems associated with each. Various types of sanding blocks are shown, along with other finishing techniques, and the construction and use of various size hotwire tools.

Bernoulli's principle and axis of flight, to angle of attack and stalls and spins. Aerodynamic Principles gives you detailed information and explains "What makes it fly?"

Aircraft Fabric Covering is the most up to date and comprehensive demonstration available on aircraft fabric covering. This 2 hour video presents every aspect of the Poly-Fiber fabric covering process in detail and in easy to understand language. From preparing the airplane for covering to spraying the colors, you are guided step by step through the entire process by a professional aircraft fabric instructor.

When used in conjunction with the Poly-Fiber manual, this set removes the mystery surrounding the process of construction and restoration of fabric covered aircraft.

Aircraft Painting 101 is an excellent 2 hour video in which Sam James takes you, in detail, through the finishing, priming, and painting of his RV-4 with the Dupont Veriprime and Chromabase systems.

This video is not as finely produced as some others, but the vast quantity of practical information it contains more than makes up for it. In it Sam James takes you through the complete process of working an metal wing, a fiberglass wheel pant, and detailed custom design on a horizontal stabilizer.

Part 1, 20 minutes:
A general overview of the theory, design, and operation of the wheel and brake systems of mid sized to large aircraft. Discusses how they work as integrated units and the types of loads, including heat and pressure they are normally and occasionally subjected too.

Part 2, 54 minutes:
The FAA approval process for designers and manufacturers of larger aircraft wheel and brakes systems. This section describes the types of tests, including radial, static, and pressure, that each component and integrated system is required to pass for TSO certification. Then each level of the approval process for the manufacturer is explained including Manufacturing, Operational, Maintenance, and Overhaul Access.

Basic Composite Aircraft Construction offers the advantage of extremely smooth skins and the ability to easily form complex curved and streamlined structures. The skills needed to work with composites are not difficult and are easily learned, but somewhat different than those used in other types of aircraft construction.

Basic Composite Construction Techniques is a demonstration of basic fiberglass techniques as applicable for aircraft. Discussions on materials include uni and bi-directional cloth, resins, flox, micro balloons, foam, core materials, peel ply, etc. Tool use covers brushes sqeegies, knives, scales, pumps, hot wire tools, etc. Techniques demonstrated include basic sandwich techniques, corners, edges, and joints, hot wiring, etc. Also included is a basic discussion of setting up your layups to conform to various load bearing areas.

Care and Handling of Borescope Equipment describes the basic care and use of Borescope equipment as used for inspecting the internal passages of Turbine engines. The major components of both flexible and rigid borescopes are shown including the light sources, positioning clamps, and the precision optical telescope. This video demonstrates the assembly of components, how it is used and inserted into the engine, conditions such as heat, vibration, and radiation which will damage the equipment and especially the fiber optic components, cleaning the components, and proper storage.

Handling procedures for composite aircraft parts in the manufacturing plant and major repair facility. This film reviews the nature and durability of composite parts and cores. The proper techniques of moving, lifting, storage, and cleaning of parts are covered as well as techniques of de-bagging, handling parts during lay-ups, and setting up for the autoclave.
