Gas Turbines and Jet Propulsion for Aircraft (Fourth Edition), 1946

 Item — Special Collection: MC-19, Book: 085, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
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 Airplane Engine (First Edition, Second Impression), 1922

 Item — Special Collection: MC-19, Book: 079, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
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...
