One of five texts in Glencoe's Aviation Technology Series, (formerly the Northrop series), Aircraft Electricity and Electronics provides your students... with the information they need to perform return-to-service-quality maintenance and repair of aircraft electrical systems. The material covered includes the details necessary for the Federal Aviation Administration certification of Airframe and Powerplants Technicians. The text expands well beyond this basic information, however, providing as in-depth study of both ac and dc systems for virtually all varieties of aircraft. The text takes students through the fundamentals of electron theory and on to the study of aircraft digital control systems. Integrated into the text are various examples of troubleshooting techniques as they apply to aircraft systems. The text also provides details on a variety of general and commercial aircraft electrical/electronic systems, including avionic systems. One of the major changes in this edition is the modernization of material about electrical and electronic equipment to reflect current practices. Coverage of transistors and semiconductors, lighting systems, and nickel cadmium batteries has been updated while troubleshooting techniques using digital and analog meters have been added. This edition includes a Student Study Guide that parallels the text. It provides fill-in-the-blank questions that identify key term, demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships, and validates learning progress by offering multiple-choice questions. The Instructor's Manual provides answers to the review questions and transparency masters to help you illustrate key concepts.

This study guide parallels the fifth edition of "Aircraft Electricity and Electronics". It provides fill-in-the-blank questions to identify key terms,... demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships and offers multiple-choice questions.

This text presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final engine... layout, the book provides the concepts and procedures required for the entire process. It is an expanded and updated version of the first edition that emphasizes contemporary developments impacting engine design such as theta break/throttle ratio, life management, controls, and stealth. The key steps of the process are detailed in ten chapters that encompass aircraft constraint analysis, aircraft mission analysis, engine parametric (design point) analysis, engine performance (off-design) analysis, engine installation drag and sizing, and the design of inlets, fans, compressors, main combustors, turbines, afterburners, and exhaust nozzles. The AEDsys software that accompanies the text provides comprehensive computational support for every design step. The software has been carefully integrated with the text to enhance both the learning process and productivity, and allows effortless transfer between British Engineering and SI units. The AEDsys software is furnished on CD and runs in the Windows operating system on PC-compatible systems. A user's manual is provided with the software, along with the complete data files used for the Air-to-Air Fighter and Global Range Airlifter design examples of the book.

Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand treatment of the background, development, and applications of... the gas turbine engine it its various forms, such as turobjet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft powerplants. Designed primarily as a resource for technicians preparing for the FAA aircraft powerplant mechanic certification, Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology also may be used a reference. The text also discusses the changing maintenance and overhaul procedures and philosophies and the role of fuel metering in engine operation.

With over 500 illustrations, charts, and tables, this book provides an extensive cross-reference between today's aircraft and engines. It's newly... revised to include the most up-to-date information on aircraft gas turbine powerplants and updated coverage of jet engine technology. Authors: Otis and Vosbury.

Jeppesen's newly revised Aircraft Gas Turbine Powerplants Workbook is a companion to the Gas Turbine Powerplants Textbook containing questions, answers... and explanations designed to increase your comprehension of the material covered in the textbook. The workbook is set up chapter by chapter to follow the sequence of material in the textbook with exercises and quizzes for personal or classroom use.

Aircraft Inspection & Maintenance Records has two purposes. For the professional technician, it is a guide to the FAAs requirements of record... keeping regarding inspections, repairs, modifications, and the satisfaction of airworthiness directives. Then, for both the technician and homebuilder, it contains an in-depth step by step guide of what to do, what to look for and what is expected during routine annual and 100 hour inspections. For this purpose alone, it is a great value to those who maintain their own aircraft. You can be sure that there is a copy in my shop which serves as a primary guide each year during my RV-6A's annual.

The bible for the AMTs and aircraft owners alike, this reference outlines standards for acceptable methods, techniques, and practices for the... inspection, repair, and alteration of aircraft. This is Advisory Circular 43.13-1B/2A.

Aircraft Instruments and Integrated Systems provides a wealth of unique information covering all aspects of operating principles and constructional... features of the instrumentation and integrated systems required for the flight handling and navigation of aircraft, and also for the performance monitoring of their relevant powerplants. The text is liberally illustrated with schematic diagrams, colour and black and white photographs and a number of tables and appendices for easy reference. All the instruments and systems detailed are representative of those installed in a range of civil aircraft types currently in service. The operating principles of digital computer techniques and electronic displays are emphasised. Essay-type exercises and multi-choice questions relevant to subjects covered by each chapter, will enable readers to conduct 'self-tests'.

This text is one of five that compose the Glencoe Aviation Technology Series. Like all of the titles in this series, this text provides coverage of... practical skills while building a foundation for more advanced learning. It offers a thorough presentation of all aspects of aircraft maintenance and repair, including information on new materials, structures, systems, and processes. This edition includes all the theoretical and practical information that students need for certification as FAA airframe technicians in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). In preparing the Sixth Edition, the authors reviewed FAR Parts 65 and 147 and appropriate Advisory Circulars, as well as realted Federal Aviation Regulations.

Written by one of the most succesful aerospace authors, this new book develops aircraft performance techniques from first principles and applies then to... real airplanes. It also address a philosophy of, and techniques for aircraft design. By developing and discussing these two subjects in a single text, the author captures a degree of synergism not found in other texts. The book is written in a conversational style, a trademark of all of John Anderson's texts, to enhance the readers' understanding.

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 latest changes in FAR Part 147 and changing industry needs. The new edition features expanded coverage of turbine engine theory and nomenclature. It also includes additional current models of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. Information on turbine engine fuel, oil, ignition systems has been expanded and divided into separate chapters. And the remainder of the turbine engine material is updated and presented apart from reciprocating engines, allowing for the flexibility of teaching this materials separately or together. New material added to the propeller section deals with composite propellers, dynamic propeller blancing, and auxiliary propeller systems such as auto-feather, de-synchro-phasing, and de-ice. The updated and reorganized material on aircraft systems includes the latest information on control, indicating, and warning systems. Throughout the text, special emphasis has been laced on the integration of information regarding how individual components and systems operate together.
