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...

Abstract

A COMPLETE, PRACTICAL TREATISE OUTLINING CLEARLY THE ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINEERING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND REPAIR OF AIRPLANE POWER PLANTS; ALSO THE AUXILIARY ENGINE SYSTEMS, SUCH AS LUBRICATION, CARBURETION, IGNITION AND COOLING. IT INCLUDES COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINE REPAIRING AND SYSTEMATIC LOCATION OF TROUBLES, TOOL EQUIPMENT AND USE OF TOOLS, ALSO OUTLINES THE LATEST MECHANICAL PROCESSES.

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...

Scope and Contents Document Type: Engine Operations ManualDocument Number: PWA109702From the FOREWORD: The aircraft engine is designed to power aircraft in flight. Its construction, installation, servicing, and repair present many interesting and important problems; but its actual operation is, naturally, of more immediate concern to the pilot. A number of texts, handbooks, and manuals are available which discuss the principles of engine design and installation, and describe the...
