Synopsis

This text takes a non-mathematical approach to the theory of aircraft structures and systems. Photographs and line diagrams are used to show examples from a variety of civilian and military aircraft and the text is based on a qualitative rather than quantitative approach.

Cover text

Aircraft Structures and Systems provides a straightforward yet comprehensive introduction to airframes and aircraft systems. Taking a non-mathematical approach throughout, the book encourages an interest in the form and function of an aircraft and identifies the reasons for the major differences between various types of aircraft. It gives readers a thorough understanding of the many systems which are necessary to allow an aircraft to operate effectively. It is a sister publication to Barnard and Philpott's Aircraft Flight.

The book is now available in its second edition direct from the publisher, MechAero Publishing, or to order from any good bookshop. The price is £15.95, and postage anywhere in the UK is free if ordered direct.
