Powerplants for Aerospace Vehicles (3d Edition), 1965, 1965

Document Type: Textbook (Technical).

Purpose: Training and Education.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Series: Northrop Institute of Technology Series

Scope: ""This text provides the student, mechanic, and aviation technician with a well-rounded background of information on aircraft engines, engine accessories, and powerplant systems. It is one of a series of four texts prepared by the Northrop Institute of Technology. The two which precede this text cover basic science and electricity and electronics; the final volume deals with maintenance and repair. Taken all together, these books are designed to encompass information on all phases of airframe and powerplant technology. This edition of the powerplant text has been brought up to date by the addition of new descriptive material and illustrations on powerplant electrical systems, fuel systems, fuels, fuel-control devices, ignition systems, modern engines of both piston and turbine types, propellers and propeller controls, and starting systems for both piston and turbine engines. New chapters on electricity, engine overhaul practices, and rocket engines expand the usefulness of the text.""
