Cover of Aircraft Electricity and Electronics
One of five texts in Glencoe's Aviation Technology Series, (formerly the Northrop series), Aircraft Electricity and Electronics provides your students with the information they need to perform return-to-service-quality maintenance and repair of aircraft electrical systems.

The material covered includes the details necessary for the Federal Aviation Administration certification of Airframe and Powerplants Technicians. The text expands well beyond this basic information, however, providing as in-depth study of both ac and dc systems for virtually all varieties of aircraft. The text takes students through the fundamentals of electron theory and on to the study of aircraft digital control systems. Integrated into the text are various examples of troubleshooting techniques as they apply to aircraft systems. The text also provides details on a variety of general and commercial aircraft electrical/electronic systems, including avionic systems. One of the major changes in this edition is the modernization of material about electrical and electronic equipment to reflect current practices. Coverage of transistors and semiconductors, lighting systems, and nickel cadmium batteries has been updated while troubleshooting techniques using digital and analog meters have been added.

This edition includes a Student Study Guide that parallels the text. It provides fill-in-the-blank questions that identify key term, demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships, and validates learning progress by offering multiple-choice questions. The Instructor's Manual provides answers to the review questions and transparency masters to help you illustrate key concepts.

Cover of Aircraft Maintenance and Repair
This text is one of five that compose the "Glencoe Aviation Technology Series". Like all of the titles in this series, this text provides coverage of practical skills while building a foundation for more advanced learning. It offers a thorough presentation of all aspects of aircraft maintenance and repair, including information on new materials, structures, systems, and processes. This edition includes all the theoretical and practical information that students need for certification as FAA airframe technicians in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). In preparing the Sixth Edition, the authors reviewed FAR Parts 65 and 147 and appropriate Advisory Circulars, as well as related Federal Aviation Regulations.

Cover of Aircraft Powerplants

Aircraft Powerplants

by Ralph D. Bent

Published 1 January 1978
Part of the Glencoe Aviation Technology Series, is the most comprehensive and up-to-date powerplant book on the market today. It has been revised to reflect the latest legislation and changing industry needs. The new edition features expanded coverage of turbine engine theory and nomenclature. It also includes additional current models of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. Information on turbine engine fuel, oil, and ignition sys, has been expanded and divided i separate chapters. The remainder of the turbine engine material is updated and presented apart from reciprocating engines, allowing for the flexibility of teaching this material separately or together. New material added to the propeller section deals with composite propellers, dynamic propeller balancing, and auxiliary propeller systems such as auto-feather, desynchro-phasing, and de-ice. The updated and reorganized material on aircraft systems includes the latest information on control, , indicating and seaming systems. Throughout the text, special emphasis has been placed on the integration of information regarding how individual components and systems operate together.
