This updated second edition, written as a companion to "Flight Without Formulae", examines the mechanics and theory of flight and the various components of piston engine and turbine driven aircraft. It aims to explain simply, without mathematical jargon, how an aircraft flies. This second edition has been revised and covers new aspects of the technology in this field. It also has a new plate section which contains photographs of some engines still in the experimental stages of design. The book also contains 100 questions to aid student revision.

Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. x, 182pp + 48pp bw plates, index. Or red cloth in jacket. Minimal toning to endpapers. Jacket price clipped, faded on spine and slightly rubbed. Volume in the Without Formulae Series. Material on both piston and turbine engines is presented without mathematical formulae. It is therefore suited to engineers and technicians who "think in metals". The types of piston and turbine engine discussed are those used in aircraft propulsion though it has a broad enough basis to make it suitable for the study of motor transport applications of the piston engine, marine applications of small piston engines, and those gas turbines which are directly developed from aircraft engines.
