The material in this text is designed primarily as a resource for students of aviation technology who are preparing for FAA or EASA (and its International equivalents) aircraft and powerplant maintenance licensing. The text begins with a review of practical mathematics and a general presentation of the underlying principles of physics. The extensively revised chapter on aerodynamics provides students with a conceptual understanding of the mathematics and physics of flight. Chapters are well illustrated and present specific aspects of aircraft materials, fabrication processes, maintenance tools and techniques.
Aircraft Powerplants, Seventh Edition, part of the Glencoe Aviation Technology Series (formerly the Northrop Series), is the most comprehensive up-to-date powerplant book on the market today. It has been revised to reflect the changing industry needs.
Contains all the text and diagrams (on licence) from the Rolls Royce - The Jet Engine - 4th Edition plus much additional content from the renowned authors Michael J. Kroes and Thomas Wild
The most comprehensive book we've found on the theory, function, and maintenance of aircraft electrical systems; covering the basics of electricity through the most current equipment found on today's most advanced commercial jets. This book is highly illustrated and clearly details the procedures common to most electrical maintenance work. As an aircraft maintenance professional, if aircraft electrical work is or will be an important part of your future, this is your resource for learning the fundamentals of the trade. Well worth the price compared to the other less comprehensive books available.
