Looking for aircraft engine info
 
I'm looking for a good source of info on common aircraft engine design.

i.e. why the intake comes through the sump. Etc.

I'm familiar with automotive engines, I'm just looking a book or website with the theory behind the differences.

Still in the dreaming stage of my rv9 build.
