Servicing the Aircraft Engineer: Up‐to‐date British Iron and Aluminium Foundry of 35 Acres Area Handles All Types of Aero Engine WorkEARLY aircraft relied for propulsion and for speed upon small, low‐powered internal‐combustion engines. During the course of the last fifteen years the technique...
That, in short, is how planes work—but how do jet engines work?Photo: A jet engine taken apart during testing. You can clearly see the giant fan at the front. This spins around to suck air into the engine as the plane flies through the sky. Picture by Ian Schoeneberg courtesy of ...
This type of engine has cylinders lined up in one row. It typically has an even number of cylinders, but there are instances of three- and five cylinder engines. The biggest advantage of an inline engine is that it allows the aircraft to be designed with a narrow frontal area for low dr...

It will require a bit more if there is no orbital depot, but not much more because coming down it uses aerobraking instead of propellant. The delta-V budget means they will probably have to be multi-stage if they are chemical rockets (good luck getting permission to use nuclear rockets)....
If you’ve decided on owning a plane over chartering one and have figured out the type of plane you want, there are a few places you can browse through selections: AeroTrader Controller AVBuyer GlobalAir While many websites let you browse for planes near you, you can also do a broad ...
The concept of a roller cam brake briefly ported over to aero road bikes.James Huang / Immediate Media Roller cam brakes are a fascinating design, which is similar to a centre-pull caliper, but uses a triangular cam that moves over rollers (hence the name) in place of a straddle wire to...
This chapter provides an overview of the common types of defects found in various structural materials and joints in aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established in the aircraft industry. However, as will be seen in this chapter, manufacturing defec...
quite different to what we usually see in digital art given this is a new art form, and can only work if you have a VR headset, so don’t be surprised if you can’t download them or find them right away. Some of them include Tilt Brush by Google, Oculus Medium, and Adobe Aero....
The common applications of steam turbines for CHP systems involve industrial processes where solid or waste fuels are readily available. In the United States, it is estimated that over 580 industrial and institutional facilities use steam engines to produce about 19,000MW of electric capacity. Table...
