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...

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...

The Aircraft Engine and its Operation, 1962-01, 1951
Item — Book 089, Book: 000
Identifier: 20191011
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...

The Airplane and Its Engine (Fourth Edition, Second Impression), 1940
Item — Book 086, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180015
Abstract
PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION The wide use of the first three editions of the book, both by the general public and by schools and colleges, has indicated to the authors that their hope of meeting a definite need in aeronautical literature has been fulfilled. Like its predecessors, this edition is intended primarily for the reader who desires a sound knowledge of the basic principles and a broad view of the present development of the airplane and its power plant, without giving to the...

The Airplane Engine (First Edition, Second Impression), 1922
Item — Book 079, Book: 000
Identifier: 20180007
Abstract
PREFACE This volume attempts two things: to formulate existing knowledge of the functioning of the airplane engine and its auxiliaries; and to present and discuss the essential constructive details of those engines whose excellence has resulted in their survival. The material here collected is largely new; very little of it could have been written before the war and only a small fraction was available for publication before 1919. It is based mainly on the researches and engine developments...
