Aero Engines: With A General Introductory Account of the Theory of the Internal Combustion Engine (Eighth Edition), 1917
Item — Book 076, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180004
Abstract
PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
A short course of lectures on Aero Engines was given by the author at the Northampton Polytechnic Institute during 1914. On the suggestion of Mr Charles E. Larard, M.Inst.C.E., M,I.M.E., Head of the Engineering Department, the matter contained in these lectures - necessarily somewhat rearranged and largely extended-is now issued in book form, in the hope that it may be found of assistance to a wider circle of readers.The engines are classified as...

Aircraft Engines: Theory, Analysis, Design and Operation, 1936
Item — Book 083, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180011
Abstract
PREFACE: This volume has been prepared with a twofold aim: 1. It is designed for a textbook in engineering courses for undergraduate and post-graduate students. 2. It forms a collection of material which is largely new, and which should prove valuable to anyone concerned with design, construction, operation, or maintenance of aircraft engines. This book covers the basic theory and principles of aircraft-engine design and operation, and the authors believe it to be one of three volumes...

Topics
Document Type: TextbookFrom Preface: "The object of the present book, which is the first of two volumes on aircraft engines, is an endeavour to present the principles and results of relevant research work upon internal combustion engines, for the benefit of those entering or already engaged in aircraft engineering work. It is also written in order to fill a gap existing in aeronautical literature, between the more advanced specialist books on theory and design and the elementary...

A.M. Fuel Systems for Aircraft, 1938
Item — Book 087, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180016
Abstract
Dr. Demtchenko's work is a compilation of theoretical studies of, and practical experiments with, fuel feed systems. It is presented in such clear form that theorists and technicians alike will find in it a valuable guide to this subject which is of such importance to aeronautical security. Although theory here has been gone into with some detail, its practical application has in no case been omitted and the work as a whole constitutes a veritable treatise on fuel systems.NB:...

Dyke's Aircraft Engine Instructor, 1929
Item — Book 078, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180006
Abstract
This book deals principally with aircraft gasoline engines and their accessories, such as carburetors, magnetos, starters, etc., the idea being to familiarize the student, the mechanic, and the public in general, who are mechanically inclined, with the construction and the principle of operation of the modern gasoline engine designed for aircraft work.Many will want to know more about maintenance of such engines, and with this in mind the subjects of disassembly, inspection, and...

Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design (First Edition), 1925
Item — Book 084, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180012
Abstract
Introduction to Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design The present volume is the first of the AIRPLANE ENGINE DESIGN SERIES to be presented. This volume will include the major portion of engine design problems requiring mathematics and, naturally, the analytical methods treated in the other volumes in connection with the design of other component parts of the engine must frequently be referred to the dynamics of the engine as herein treated. An effort has been made to simplify and condense...

Facts about the Wright Turbo Compound, 1956-05
Item — Box 096, Folder: 001
Identifier: 20210012
Scope and Contents
Type: Technical Sales Brochure
From the Foreword:
The Turbo Compound introduced new concepts of engine economy and performance to the aircraft engine operator. Higher powers are now available without substantial change in cylinder working conditions. With the compound engine these powers have proved practical, and they are achieved with lower specific fuel consumption and without danger of detonation or increased cylinder stress. Furthermore, they are available without...

Gas Turbines and Jet Propulsion for Aircraft (Fourth Edition), 1946
Item — Book 085, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180014
Abstract
AUTHOR'S NOTE In the comparatively short space of five years, the turbine power unit has established itself on military types, and its employment is now being extended to civil aircraft. Already the modern gas turbine is available in units of far greater power than are obtainable with orthodox reciprocating engines. After the successful early stage of development of turbine-jet units, the industry is now engaged on a second phase comprising turbines driving air-screws, which give improved...
