This book introduces aircraft to students in any aviation-related track of study, whether they are future mechanics/technicians, pilots, or aviation managers. High school programs will also find this book useful for teaching the basics about aircraft.Readers get an excellent overview of aircraft structures and systems. And a substantial portion of the book is devoted to reciprocating and turbine powerplants and the systems that support them. Similar books offered in the past are out of print, out of date, and some ignore turbine engines. Throughout, this book explains the newest technologies and the tried-and-true ones that are still used. It is easy to understand, heavily illustrated, and has many photographs-all to enhance learning.Topics include aircraft structures; flight controls and flaps; electrical systems; hydraulic systems; landing gear, wheels, tires, and brakes; fuel systems; cabin atmosphere; instrument systems; ice, rain, smoke, and fire protection systems; aircraft powerplants overview; reciprocating engines; reciprocating engine systems; turbine engines and systems; and aircraft maintenance and documentation

Aircraft structures, powerplants and systems knowledge is one of the fundamental topics a pilot must master to operate an aircraft safely. This topic is not just about understanding the different components of the aircraft, but also recognizing and managing any problems that arise. Considering the severe consequences that can occur when things go wrong in aviation, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the aircraft you are flying. From the author of the hugely popular Aircraft Technical Knowledge for the Private Pilot, this book takes the reader deeper into the world of aircraft structures, powerplants and systems. A particular focus has been placed on practical aviation, thereby linking science with the real world. Although this book mainly focuses on small to medium-sized aircraft, many of the design principles can be applied to aircraft of all sizes.

ISBN: 0521865832

As with the first edition, this textbook provides a clear introduction to the fundamental theory of structural analysis as applied to vehicular structures such as aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles and ships. The emphasis is on the application of fundamental concepts of structural analysis that are employed in everyday engineering practice. All approximations are accompanied by a full explanation of their validity. In this new edition, more topics, figures, examples and exercises have been added. There is also a greater emphasis on the finite element method of analysis. Clarity remains the hallmark of this text and it employs three strategies to achieve clarity of presentation: essential introductory topics are covered, all approximations are fully explained and many important concepts are repeated.

Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, Seventh Edition, is the leading self-contained aircraft structures course text suitable for one or more semesters. It covers all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Now in its seventh edition, the author has continued to expand the book’s coverage of analysis and design of composite materials for use in aircraft and has added more real-world and design-based examples, along with new end-of-chapter problems of varying complexity. Retains its hallmark comprehensive coverage of aircraft structural analysis New practical and design-based examples and problems throughout the text aid understanding and relate concepts to real world applications Updated and additional Matlab examples and exercises support use of computational tools in analysis and design Available online teaching and learning tools include downloadable Matlab code, solutions manual, and image bank of figures from the book
