Aircraft Powerplants, Eighth Edition

I'm writing this review not from the perspective of an Airframe and Powerplant student, but rather from the perspective of a pilot. I found this book to be very informative and well worth reading to expand a pilots knowledge of engine operating techniques. While it's probably a bit beyond what is required, I can't stress enough to students and fellow pilots that the more they know about the heart of their airplane. The knowledge presented in this book is applicable to nearly all aircraft engines in operation, in fact I can't think of one that isn't really covered except a scram jet.

This text has had MAJOR updates since the last edition. It is going to help me with several classes. The book was in great condition and arrived on time.

Great book

Fantastic subject matter. Detailed beyond most market available literature and contains in depth systems discussions.

The book is paperback. Which is fine, but this book is over 300 pages. The spine of the book begins to tear the more you use the book because of how large the book is. Also, the book was very comprehensive. It definitely helped me pass my propulsions class! I would recommend getting this book

Good valve for money.

Great book, and useful for engineers to know the knowledge not learned in school.

Book covers all you need to know about recips and jets. There's also a chapter on props too. Great book to study by.

Condition is worst

I did not read it all but so far it is very good!

as a maintenance book it is great, full of figures and precise terms. however, i bought it for my propulsion course at university, but this is not a techincal book.. anyway it gives you the whole practical aspect of an engine, so you can have a very good idea of the mechanisms (and complexity) that are needed by the engine to properly "use" the theory which is behind (unfortunately, not given in the book).
