Lombardo D. Advanced Aircraft Systems 1993

Textbook in PDF format This book was written to support FAA Airway Science Program and should help reciprocating-engine pilots prepare for the transition to turbine-powered aircraft. The book is intended to be a primer on turboprop and turbojet aircraft systems; it is not flight deck oriented. Avionics, flight deck instrumentation, specific operating procedures, and other operationally oriented details are intentionally omitted. It is the intent of this book to give the reader a basic understanding of what individual systems are designed to do, and how they do it. It is not the intent of this book to teach pilots how to fly turbine-powered aircraft. Pilots transitioning to turbine equipment need to receive type training in the specific aircraft to which they are transitioning. The book may be read cover-to-cover or used as a reference manual. All basic system descriptions are essentially generic. They are intended to give the reader a basic understanding of how typical systems operate. Hopefully this text will help pilots transition to more complex aircraft as well as help them gain a better understanding of that awesome mystery we call flight. - Principles of electricity; - Electrical systems; - Turbine engines; - Lubrication and cooling systems; - Aircraft propellers; - Hydraulic and pneumatic systems; - Fuel systems; - Environmental systems; - Landing gear systems; - Fire protection systems; - Aerodynamic control and protection systems
