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...

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...

Abstract

Abstract An Illuminating, Authoritative Text by the Inventor of the Supercharger (Dr. Sanford A. Moss, Ph.D.)(back cover). Foreword: Supercharging has such an important place with the modern internal combustion engine that the publication of the present book seems most timely. The material originally appeared in the weekly numbers of the aviation publication Aeronautics, issued under the auspices of the present publishers in 1941, but the author has considerably revised and extended this matter for...
