The \u003cb\u003episton engine \u003c\/b\u003ehas been powering aircraft since the Wright brothers took to the air over a hundred years ago, whereas\u003cb\u003e gas turbine engines\u003c\/b\u003e produce a massive amount of thrust to haul large and heavy aircraft into the sky. Piston and gas turbine engines are the primary focus of this book, but we will also see how \u003cb\u003eelectricity\u003c\/b\u003e or\u003cb\u003e hydrogen\u003c\/b\u003e could power aircraft in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the author of the hugely popular \u003ci\u003eAviation Books Series\u003c\/i\u003e, this book takes the reader deep into the world of aircraft engines, with a particular focus on practical aviation, thereby linking science with the real world. Whether you are a new pilot who is exploring the topic in greater detail or a professional pilot who has been flying for countless years, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the engine powering your aircraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Walmsley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798328874267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Stephen Walmsley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372646912255,"sku":"9798328874267","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0db91145-b9ac-435c-bd55-f2a88a53dac3.jpg?v=1732726549","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aircraft-engines-for-the-professional-stephen-walmsley-9798328874267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
