The third edition of this established text continues to provide up-to-date information on the operating principles and applications of the systems and equipment used in aircraft for the generation, distribution and utilisation of electrical power.The fundamental principles of electricity are reviewed, and systems and equipment used in a wise range of aircraft currently in service are dealt with. The text is supported by numerous diagrams, photographs and useful appendices. Examination-type test question are included at the end of the book. Intended as a course book for students wishing to obtain an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer?s License (as issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Authorities in other countries around the world), this book will also serve as a reference or ?refresher? for experienced licensed engineers. THE EXPERIMENTAL EXPERIENCE *** From the first rivet, to the first flight, and through the first five years of flying, The Experimental Experience story is told in 248 pages and more than 235 pictures, diagrams, and official forms. *** Whether you are already involved in building an airplane, seriously considering it, or just curious about what\'s involved, here\'s answers to many of the questions that come up. Every builder eventually learns much of what\'s in this book, and has his or her own set of experiences, but it sometimes can be a long and difficult process. Gathered together, in picture and text format, is a collection of ideas, experiences, and considerations relating to building an experimental airplane that come under the category of Good things to know. Learn this information ahead of time to make the work more efficient, cost effective, and enjoyable. *** In this book, the authors take the reader through the steps involved, from considerations and decisions on building to the information gathering stages through purchases and construction activities to the paperwork, inspections, and technicalities of making an airplane airworthy and legal to fly. Follow along through the initial flights, final checkouts, and the rewarding adventures in the air. And finally, learn about condition inspections and routine maintenance. Take a trip from the first rivet, to the first flight, and through the first five years of flying. *** Well over ten thousand experimental airplanes (homebuilts) have been built and are flown by individuals from all walks of life. The Experimental Experience talks about what\'s involved and what it takes. It\'s not a book on how to do it. Rather, it\'s a retelling of experiences and things to know that are part of the whole process. *** When one asks, Could I build an airplane?, many thoughts come to mind. One starts to imagine what it would be like to carry out a project of this sort. There\'s feelings of doubt and the idea of a challenge, and most find themselves close to the starting point even after much thought and discussion. *** What tipped the authors to the moving ahead side? Getting rid of the fear of failing: If you are afraid of striking out, don\'t go up to bat. A healthy dose of practical wisdom: Unless you try something, you\'re forever destined to wonder, What might have been? *** For the authors, there was never a long considered goal of building an airplane and no eureka moment. The idea came from a chance happening, but once the seed was planted, it grew straight and strong. *** There are occasionally adventures in life that turn out better than expected. This was one of them. The key principle of systems engineering is that an aircraft should be considered as a whole and not as a collection of parts. Another principle is that the requirements for the aircraft and its subsystems emanate from a logical set of organized functions and from economic or customer-oriented requirements as well as the regulatory requirements for certification. The resulting process promises to synthesize and validate the design of aircraft which are higher in quality, better meet customer requirements and are most economical to operate.This book is more of a how to and a why to rather than a what to guide. It stresses systems engineering is an integrated technical-managerial process that can be adapted without sacrificing quality in which risk handling and management is a major part. It explains that the systems view applies to both the aircraft and the entire air transport system. The book emphasizes that system engineering is not an added layer of processes on top of the existing design processes it is the glue that holds all the other processes together. The readership includes the aircraft industry, suppliers and regulatory communities, especially technical, program and procurement managers systems, design and specialty engineers (human factors, reliability, safety, etc.) students of aeronautical and systems engineering and technical management and government agencies such as FAA and JAA. A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design process using the principles of systems engineeringDue to the high cost and the risks associated with development, complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for the adoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presents the entire process of aircraft design based on a systems engineering approach from conceptual design phase, through to preliminary design phase and to detail design phase.Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed in various chapters where required. Based on these fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall.Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics will find this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in their understanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety of design techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom and flexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approaching real-world projects.Key features: - Provides full coverage of the design aspects of an air vehicle including: aeronautical concepts, design techniques and design flowcharts- Features end of chapter problems to reinforce the learning process as well as fully solved design examples at component level- Includes fundamental explanations for aeronautical engineering students and practicing engineers- Features a solutions manual to sample questions on the book\'s companion websiteCompanion website - www.wiley.com/go/sadraey They\'re all here--every X-bomber and X-fighter since 1942. On October 2, 1942, the Bell XP-59 Airacomet soared up and away from present-day Edwards AFB, launching the US Army Air Forces into the Jet Age. In the several decades since, hundreds of new variations of experimental and test turbojet-powered bombers and fighters--X-bombers and X-fighters--have taken explosive flight. These aircraft blazed a trail leading to today\'s B-2 Stealth Bomber and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.TheBig Book of X-Bombers & X-Fighters showcases all of the USAF jet-powered X-bombers and X-fighters that have flown since 1942--more than 90 in all, including the alphabet soup of their variants. From experimental to prototype service bombers and fighters--from the XB-43 to the B-2A and the XP-59A to the F-35A--they\'re all here, with their inside stories revealed. Some of these aircraft were further developed. Others were canceled. All stretched the performance and design envelopes.More than 250 photos illustrate all of these experimental aircrafts\' cutting-edge features and zeroes in on histories of their design, flight testing, and weapons testing.
