Describes and lists major aeroplane engine manufacturers throughout the world. With its glossary, diagrams, charts and photographs, this guide to the world's aero engines is aimed at aviation enthusiasts.

Whilst most contemporary books in the aerospace propulsion field are dedicated primarily to gas turbine engines, there is often little or no coverage of other propulsion systems and devices such as propeller and helicopter rotors or detailed attention to rocket engines. By taking a wider viewpoint, Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion aims to provide a broader context, allowing observations and comparisons to be made across systems that are overlooked by focusing on a single aspect alone.

Adds new observations to the cost-estimating database from ealier RAND studies and presents a method for forecasting the development cost, development time, and production cost fo future military engine programs.

This book is intended for those who wish to broaden their knowledge of jet engine technology and associated subjects. It covers turbojet, turboprop and turbofan designs and is applicable to civilian and military usage. 

It commences with an overview of the main design types and fundamentals and then looks at air intakes, compresors, turbines and exhaust systems in great detail.

Written by one of the field's most well known experts, the Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook has long been the standard for engineers involved in the design, selection, maintenance and operation of gas turbines. 

With far reaching, comprehensive coverage across a range of topics from design specifications to maintenance troubleshooting, this one-stop resource provides newcomers to the industry with all the essentials to learn and fill knowledge gaps, and established practicing gas turbine engineers with a reliable go-to reference.

The ideal textbook for anyone working towards a career in aircraft maintenance engineering.

Written to meet the needs of aircraft maintenance certifying staff, this book covers the basic knowledge requirements of ECAR 66 (previously JAR-66) for all aircraft engineers within Europe. ECAR 66 regulations are being continuously harmonised with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements in the USA, making this book ideal for all aerospace students.

Developed by the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics: The Aircraft Mechanics Specification Handbook is a very useful mechanics handbook, focusing on the identification of all types of AN, NAS, and MS hardware and fittings, and AN plumbing. It also includes an extensive and unique second section covering electrical connector identification; and the third area with common references and conversion formulas. Developed for A&Ps by A&Ps, here is a toolbox size reference you will really use.

Topics Include:
