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

Training material used to train aircraft mechanics in the United States Army Air Corps.

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...

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...
