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:...

Identifier: 20212025
Abstract
The GUIDE TO PRE-1930 AIRCRAFT ENGINES is offered as testimony and a source of reference for the aircraft engines of that "golden age" of aviation. It brings together under one cover the details and important information concerning the great rarity of American aircraft powerplants which contributed to America's tremendous achievements in aviation. Because of the variety of combinations possible between engines and carburetors and propellers, each engine is covered only in its basic-design...
