Beginner's Wood Aircraft Construction

Beginner's Wood Aircraft Construction
eLearning Video - DVDRip | English | 640x464 | XviD ~1013 kbps | MP3 ~128 kbps 48 kHz | 582 MB
Lecture, Woodworking
Run time: ~70 min

Learn the basics of wood construction for building your own experimental aircraft. If you have wondered what skills and equipment is necessary to build an aircraft from wood, this DVD provides a great introduction to this knowledge!
Designed for the beginner in wood aircraft construction, with explanations and demonstrations of working with and selecting the proper wood stock required for aircraft building.

The knowledgeable instructor demonstrates basic wood aircraft construction using modern techniques and materials but with basic tools that can be found in most home workshops. The pros and cons of using wood as an aircraft material are discussed. The photos on this page are from the actual video presentation on the DVD. The goal of this DVD is to allow the beginner to help decide if wood aircraft construction is something that is viable and provides the "next step" in the process of getting started in this exciting venture of aircraft construction.
The second section of the DVD provides a presentation from one of the most well known wood aircraft kit producers: Loehle Aircraft. Loehle produces a wide variety of affordable, easy to build wood aircraft kits for beginners and advance builders alike. This video presentation is the perfect complement to the construction techniques discussion on the first part of the DVD, as it allows the novice builder to see the possibilities for wood construction in the wonderful collection of aircraft that Loehle has produced over the years. Both building and flying demonstrations are provided in this section. While a builder can create an aircraft from either plans or from a ready to assemble kit - this Loehle Aircraft video presentation allows the viewer to appreciate the benefits of building from a kit.

Aircraft Engineering Principles

Aircraft Engineering Principles 
Publisher: taylor & francis | English | ISBN: 075065015X | 640 pages | PDF | 14.92 MB

Aircraft Engineering Principles is the essential text for anyone studying for licensed A&P or Aircraft Maintenance Engineer status. The book is written to meet the requirements of JAR-66/ECAR-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement (to be replaced by European Civil Aviation Regulation) for all aircraft engineers within Europe, which is also being continuously harmonised with Federal Aviation Administation requirements in the USA. 
The book covers modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/ECAR-66 in full and to a depth appropriate for Aircraft Maintenance Certifying Technicians, and will also be a valuabe reference for those taking ab initio programmes in JAR-147/ECAR-147 and FAR-147. In addition, the necessary mathematics, aerodynamics and electrical principles have been included to meet the requirements of introductory Aerospace Engineering courses. Numerous written and multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each chapter, to aid learning. 

* Delivers the essential principles and knowledge base required by Airframe and Propulsion (A&P) Mechanics for JAR-66/ECAR-66 and the associated Federal Aviation Administration qualifications 
* Ideal for both independent and tutor-assisted study 
* Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning
