Aircraft Engineering Principles

Aircraft Engineering Principles covers the essential mathematics, electrical principles, mechanical principles, physical principles and aerodynamics, and adds a new chapter on electrical power supplies and distribution systems and more on flight aerodynamics. This book provides guidance for anyone studying for licensed maintenance engineer status as well as those working in the range of aeronautical engineering qualifications. It meets international regulatory requirements and qualifications for aircraft engineers – these are increasingly globally harmonised – and also serves as a reference for professionals in aircraft manufacturing and operation. In particular, it comprehensively covers Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 11.1 of JAR-66/ECAR-66 in full and to a depth appropriate for those engaged in aircraft maintenance certification, and it will also provide a valuable reference for those taking ab initio programmes in JAR-147/ECAR-147 and FAR-147. It also suits the general requirements of introductory aerospace engineering courses at the undergraduate level. Numerous written and multiple-choice question papers are provided at the end of each chapter, and interactive question papers are provided in the eBook+ version of this book..

Key Features:

• Meets the international regulatory requirements for aircraft engineers.
• Gives the core principles for students, apprentices and engineers in maintenance, manufacturing, design and operations.
• Underpins the range of more specialist aircraft maintenance books.
