The most comprehensive, current guide to aircraft powerplantsFully revised to cover the latest industry advances, Aircraft Powerplants, Eighth Edition, prepares you for certification as an FAA powerplant technician in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). This authoritative text has been updated to reflectrecent changes in FAR Part 147.This new edition features expanded coverage of turbine-engine theory and nomenclature; current models of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines; and up-to-date details on turbine-engine fuel, oil, and ignition systems. Important information on how individualcomponents and systems operate together is integrated throughout the text. Clear photos of various components and a full-color insert of diagrams and systems are included. Review questions at the end of each chapter enable you to check your knowledge of the topics presented in this practical resource.Aircraft Powerplants, Eighth Edition, covers: - Aircraft powerplant classification and progress - Reciprocating-engine construction and nomenclature - Internal-combustion engine theory and performance - Lubricants and lubricating systems - Induction systems, superchargers, turbochargers, and cooling and exhaust systems - Basic fuel systems and carburetors - Fuel injection systems - Reciprocating-engine ignition and starting systems - Operation, inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting of reciprocating engines - Reciprocating-engine overhaul practices - Gas-turbine engine: theory, jet propulsion principles, engine performance, and efficiencies - Principal parts of a gas-turbine engine, construction, and nomenclature - Gas-turbine engine: fuels and fuel systems - Turbine-engine lubricants and lubricating systems - Ignition and starting systems of gas-turbine engines - Turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines - Gas-turbine operation, inspection, troubleshooting, maintenance, and overhaul - Propeller theory, nomenclature, and operation - Turbopropellers and control systems - Propeller installation, inspection, and maintenance - Engine indicating, warning, and control systems
