Firmly established as the leading complete course text on aerodynamics for undergraduates, this book has been revised to include the latest developments in flow control and boundary layers and their influence on modern wing design. In addition, computational methods commonly applied in aerodynamic design and testing are introduced, echoing the philosophy of commercial aerodynamics design, where massive computational power is vital. Numerous worked examples are included.

Contents:
Basic fluid mechanics 1 * Basic fluid mechanics 2 * The elements of two-dimensional wing theory * Finite wing theory * Viscous flow and boundary layers * Wings in compressible flow * Aspects of wing design and flow control * Propellers and propulsion * Bibliography

Powerplant covers the syllabus for the JAR-FCL 021 exam paper. This volume gives the reader an insight into the construction, function, and operation of both piston and gas turbine engines. For examination purposes, the engines as described are to be considered 'generic', in reality each manufacturer will achieve the same objectives outlined in the text by different designs. Therefore, these notes equip the reader with the knowledge to undertake with confidence an engine manufacturer's course or type rating course which specializes in a particular design.

Airframes & Systems, Electrics, Powerplant, and Emergency Equipment (ASEPE) - Aeroplanes, subject 021, covers a broad swathe of information that is examined in one paper. To make this information manageable, the 021 subject is broken down into three volumes; these are Airframes & Systems [which incorporates Emergency Equipment], Electrics, and Powerplant.

This new 2005 manual is part of the most current set of JAA ATPL training books on the market. The philosophy of these manuals is to train pilots to fly safely and competently, not just pass the exams. To this end, the material is thorough and comprehensive, yet the books utilise full-color graphics and diagrams that make complex topics easier to grasp. The complete set of 15 volumes contains nearly 4,000 pages.

A modern introduction to aircraft gas turbine engines intended to provide the fundamentals of turbines to maintenance personnel and pilots either to simply understand the basics of turbines, or as a primer before studying the details of the specific engines you will be involved with. Easy to understand, step by step descriptions, with many color drawings and diagrams.

Beginning with a summary of the mechanics of flight, it goes on to cover various aspects such as air and airflow, aerofoils, thrust, level flight, gliding, landing, performance, manoeuvres and stability and control.

Many of the diagrams have been redrawn and new photographs depicting modern aircraft types have been included. Requires only GCSE level science. Written in a clear and easy-to-understand style it contains simple numerical examples which are suitable for students up to HND level standard. The book also contains non-numerical questions provide a useful opportunity to test basic understanding. It is brought fully up-to-date while retaining character of the book.

Whether you are a student professional pilot needing to prepare for ground examinations, or a general aviation pilot wishing to learn more about how your engine operates, OATmedia's brand new interactive multimedia CD-ROM, on Aircraft Piston Engines, is for you.
If you are a student professional pilot, Aircraft Piston Engines will teach you Piston Engine theory, up to the standard required for the Air Transport Pilot's Licence theoretical knowledge examination.
The CD-ROM also includes JAA ATPL style tests which give you the maximum possible assistance in preparing for the written examination. If you are a general aviation pilot, Aircraft Piston Engines will teach you every aspect of your engine's operation far beyond the level of the PPL examination. It will also teach you how to manage your engine in order to get optimal engine performance, in the air.

Features:
3-D and 2-D graphics, animations and photographs giving you a much clearer idea of exactly what happens inside the piston engine than is possible using standard text books and teaching methods.
Fully interactive lessons, narrated in clear, precise English and supported by text, highlighting the main teaching points.
Multiple choice JAA ATPL questions with which you can interactively test yourself.
Topics include: Ignition systems, Fuel systems, Carburation, Cooling, Propellors, Power Augmentation, Diesel engines, and much more.

This book is recognised as the definitive insight into the complex world of gas turbine technology. Written by Rolls-Royce engineers it provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the workings of the gas turbine.
High–quality and detailed illustrations are featured throughout the book as it takes you on a journey from the theory of jet propulsion to today’s advanced products and provides insights into tomorrow’s technology.
Although primarily aimed at engineers and engineering students, the Jet Engine Book provides a fascinating read for anyone interested in the workings of one of the world’s most complex and technologically demanding products.

Rolls-Royce had been making piston engines for 40 years before its first jet engine, the Welland, powered Britain's first jet aircraft, the Gloster Meteor, in 1944. In the post-war world, the jet engine was soon embraced as the key to the future for both civil and military aircraft. Meeting the demand for steadily larger and more sophisticated jet engines quickly transformed the business of Rolls-Royce. And half a century later, of course, we can look back on a thousand ways in which jet-engine technology has transformed the world at large.
The evolution of today's hugely powerful engines has been an extraordinary story of continuous incremental improvements, with the occasional leap forward to bigger and better things. So, too, with this book. It first appeared in 1955, and has since then been carefully updated and revised through a further four editions, the last in 1996. This latest edition, though, marks a considerable advance. The layout has been extensively re-designed and the text comprehensively rewritten, to take full account of the enormous progress made on jet engines over the past 20 years.
