Product Description
Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand treatment of the background, development, and applications of the gas turbine engine it its various forms, such as turobjet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft powerplants. Designed primarily as a resource for technicians preparing for the FAA aircraft powerplant mechanic certification, Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology also may be used a reference. The text also discusses the changing maintenance and overhaul procedures and philosophies and the role of fuel metering in engine operation.

Great Introductory Book June 19, 2008
William J. Romanos (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA)
I wanted to learn the basics of gas turbines and found this book to be excellent. It has a lot photographs and cross-sections. The book discusses and explains a lot of the terminology that I needed to learn. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the subject.
Outstanding Book for Technicians April 16, 2007

This is an outstanding book by a knowledgeable author that provides the basic know-how and skills that a technician who maintains or just wants to learn or study aircraft gas turbine engines will find useful and helpful. The book is well written in a readable and easy to follow format that provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of jet propulsion. The author clearly presents the concepts and principles of modern gas turbine engines with no complicated formulas.
The reader will learn the various components of a gas turbine engine including the intake design, compressors, turbines, combustion chamber designs, and the jet pipe and how thrust is produced as well as the modern maintenance, repair and overhaul techniques and philosophies.
The book has great explanations, diagrams and figures that the reader will find useful and helpful. I recommend the book not only to technicians but also to beginning aeronautical and mechanical engineering students who need a basic but comprehensive understanding of gas turbine engines and how they are maintained.
Very Good Book March 11, 2007
Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA)
This is a very good book for gas turbine engine technology. It is helpful over the whole subject, but having detailed sections of individual engines (really the best sellers) was an extra bonus. It's in my work bookcase, one of only a few.
Perfect December 23, 2004

This book is what you need if you want to know HOW aircraft engines are made. Since it's thought for technicians, it doesn'cover (almost) at all thermodynamics, no math, just a few basic physical principles on aircraft gas turbines. This is the real point: more photos, shematics, diagrams then equations (rigor mortis).
You will learn how are Gas Turbines made, what kind of engine is currently being used in what kind of aircraft, how is the fuel system made, plus a much more.
Buy it without esitation.
A compelling reference souce November 5, 2000

This volume is the best publication for aeronautical gas turbine technology. It is a powerful tool as a reference and as a didactic implement.Theory. The development of theory is quite simple and straightforward. Being intended for technicians, the mathematical level is really easy, nevertheless the associated phenomenons are solidly explained. If the reader is looking for a more advanced maths dissection, he has to search a different book, conversely this treatment is the best complement to theoretical study: here concepts came alive and the mathematical set of solutions to equations are translated in real stuff. Materials and technical evaluation. The edition copes with the advanced techniques introduced in more recent designs and products. The previous editions were full of excerpts from manufacturer pubblications or other technical papers, the current one is enriched by new illustrations and detailed explanations of advanced research. Drawings and graphs were the best facets of former editions and still they are, literally boosting reader's learning curve. Engines. A wide selection of engines is avalable as examples, each one deeply dissected, showing typical arrangements and design solutions. This accurate study of construcion details and manufacturing techniques is explanatory since it shows the real article as designed, produced and maintained, focusing on each part functionality and it is real as it gets!
