Aircraft Basic Science, Eighth Edition incorporates modern technology, such as the use of composite aircraft materials, throughout the text. In addition, the examples and figures have been revised to more accurately reflect the state of the industry. A Student Study Guide parallels the text and provides fill-in-the-blank questions that identify key terms, demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships and validates learning progress by offering multiple-choice questions.
Aircraft Basic Science, Eighth Edition covers:
The use, inspection and fabrication of composite structures, including honeycomb, fiberglass and carbon fiber materials
Hypersonic flight aerodynamics as they apply to high speed aircraft and space reentry vehicles
Tilt rotor aircraft aerodynamics and design
New alloys and processes used in aircraft such as powdered aluminum and friction stir welding
Relevant ICAO/EASA (European and international rules and regulations) including Maintenance Repair Organizations (MRO), the NASA safety reporting system, ATA systems, electronic document retrieval systems and recordkeeping systems
Ground handling and safety for large, airline-style aircraft
New alternative fuels under development, including biofuels and synthetic fuels
FAA elements of Aircraft Basic Science Airframe and certification required to perform and approve aircraft maintenance
