Engines book

[prkaye]

I started reading the Bingelis book on Engines, but have found it's not quite what I need at this stage. The Bingelis book talks mostly about how to install an engine. What I'd like to find is a more introductory book about aircraft engines themselves... explaining what all the parts of an engine are and how they all work together.

Can anyone recommend a good title?

I notice that AdvancedPilot is reprinting some classics. Look at the three books at the bottom of the page. Don't let their age fool you, they are great introductions.

I'm thinknig the A&P Powerplant textbook by Jeppesen would be a good place to start...

I refer to my Jeppessen Powerplant book from A&P school every now and again. A great resource for everything regarding recips and turbine powerplants. Carbs, cooling, ignition, indicating are of particular interest to RVers. Depending on your engine of choice, the manufacturer should be able to supply you with more specific info. One year at SNF I picked up a Lyc. publication which included all the engine topics from their newsletters over the years. Another great resource. Contact me and I will give you more info on that.

It was recommended to me (by my trusted flying friend "Gunbody") that Sacramento Sky Ranch Engineering Manual is the best book on engines out there. I ordered my copy while I was at Oshkosh and it was home when I got back.
